Can I put two 48V 25A power supplies in parallel?

Recently, I purchased two 48v 25A power supplies. I want to put them both in parallel. In reality, each PSU consists of 2 smaller individual units (see picture), so 4 units in total. Pin 8 of that ribbon wire connector is the pins you need to connect in order for the two smaller PSUs to output 48v at 25A.

Can a DC power supply be connected in parallel?

DC power supplies may be connected in parallel for either increased power output or improved redundancy. When connected in parallel, output current will be 2X of that of one individual power supply.

What is a parallel power supply?

Parallel power supplies refer to a configuration where multiple DC power supplies are connected in parallel to increase total output current. Each power supply shares the current load, ensuring that no single unit is overloaded. Higher Current Output – Allows for increased power delivery by combining the output of multiple units.

Why are power supplies connected in parallel?

Typically, power supplies are connected in parallel to increase the power/current rating and also to increase the system reliability by providing redundancy function. Series connection of power supplies can cater to special needs of the system when requiring higher output voltages. 1. Parallel Operation

Should I connect power supplies in series or parallel?

Connect power supplies in parallel if you want: To connect more devices in a parallel configuration. To install identical power supplies. Again, a customer service representative at Bravo Electro can not only help you choose between connecting power supply in series vs parallel but also offer recommendations on the specific PSUs you should use.

Why do designers connect power supplies in parallel?

Designers connect power supplies in parallel to obtain a total output current greater than that available from one individual supply as well as to provide redundancy, enhance reliability, avoid PCB thermal issues and boost system efficiency.
