within ratings
* For full voltage rating, signal sources to be switched
must be fully isolated from mains supply and safety earth.
† Differential voltage between channels must not exceed
rated voltage, additional caution should be used when
applying AC voltages as multiple asynchronous supplies
can create high differential voltages between channels.
‡ The capacity of the module to carry 30A on all channels
is chassis dependent and dependent on the number of high
power modules fitted to the chassis. Specification reflects
test conditions in a Pickering PXI chassis. Refer to supplier
for chassis cooling capacity, restrict average RMS current
over 5 minute period to 25A per channel for chassis
meeting the minimum PXI recommendations.
