Current sharing
Warning: the four-wire current-sharing cable is for units that are using older (rev. 2) power
modules only.
If your system is using only rev.4 power modules, skip this section.
When two or more Centric units are operated in parallel, it is required that their current-sharing terminals be
connected together: yellow to yellow, orange to orange, red to red, and blue to blue. Connecting two or
more Centric units via their current-sharing terminals causes current-sharing to be take place between all
the modules of both systems together.
When
three
or more Centric units are operated in parallel, their current-sharing terminals should be
connected together as shown in Figure 42; for example:
Connect the current-sharing terminals on UPS "X" to those on UPS "Y", AND
Connect the current-sharing terminals on UPS "Y" to those on UPS "Z".
The parallel cable kit, supplied by Gamatronic, includes a prepared current sharing cable or cables.

When connecting current-sharing terminals, it is irrelevant which UPS is the "master" UPS and which are
the "slaves".
