How Do I Combine Multiple Outputs of the DC Power Supply?

Caution  Do not exceed 60 VDC from any terminal to ground when cascading power supplies.

You can cascade multiple channels in series to generate greater voltage because the +25 V and - 25 V channels on the DC power supply are isolated from ground. For safety reasons, all terminals must be <60 VDC from ground. Any terminal on the isolated channels can be connected to ground. When you cascade channels in series, the DC power supply can generate up to 50 V, as shown in the following table.

Caution  The NI VirtualBench DC power supply does not provide isolation when using the +6V channel.
