Hello guys,

I have question about creating stable 24V/80A power supply. Can we connect two SITOPS of 24V/40A to get this and if that's possible, how can I do it (which components I need to use)? 

Thanks in advance

Hello,

maybe you check here.

Hello,

it's possible, see the technical datasheet of the power supply.

e.g. 

SITOP PSU8200/3AC/DC24V/40A - 6EP1437-3BA10
number of parallel-switched equipment resources for increasing the power  = 2

That's mean that you can wire 2 PS parallel and you have the 24 V/80 A.

Thanks a lot !

 Hi Voulez,

I'm looking for information to perform the same action, that is, to connect Siemens power supplies in parallel. I wanted to know if you have encountered any issues after some time or what your experience has been like.

In my case, I have a large number of hydraulic valves (60A Load), I will use 2x (6EP3437-8SB00-0AY0),

but I'm not sure wich one is better option: to increase the total power of the load or to distribute it.

Since you said you have a lot of actuators why don't you just split them across 2 different power supplies?

Personally I would even divide things further with some 8x10A selectivity modules, this way I don't have to size the wiring for 40A, and if an actuator shorts I don't lose everything.
