E Inrush Current Limitation
The converters may be supplemented by an electronic cir-
cuit (option E, replacing the standard built-in NTC) to
achieve an enhanced inrush current limiting function.

Option P Potentiometer
The potentiometer provides an output voltage adjustment
range of +10/–60% of
Uo nom and is accessible through a
hole in the front cover. This feature enables compensation
for voltage drops across the connector and wiring. Option P
is not recommended if units are connected in parallel.
Option P excludes the R-function. With double output units
both outputs are affected by the potentiometer setting (dou-
bling the voltage setting if the outputs are in series).
If the output voltages are increased above
Uo nom via R-in-
put control, option P setting, remote sensing or option T, the
output current(s) should be reduced accordingly so that
Po nom is not exceeded.
Option T Current Sharing
This option ensures that the output currents are approxi-
mately shared between all paralleled modules and in-
creases system reliability. To use this facility, simply inter-
connect the T pins of all modules. The load leads should
have equal length and cross section to ensure equal volt-
age drops. Not more than 3 units should be connected in
parallel. If output voltage adjustment is requested we
strongly recommend to use the R-input instead of option P,
as with option P the required setting accuracy is difcult to
achieve. The output voltages must be individually set prior
to paralleling to within a tolerance of 1...2% or the R pins
should be connected together.
