« on: October 03, 2020, 02:26:47 am »
Just wondering if it's safe to connect 2  x Korad 6005D power supplies in series, safely?
Cheers.

If you connect they in series, you will get 60+60=120 V.  :-DMM

This is definitely is NOT SAFE! Such voltage is very DANGEROUS!

Even 60 V is not safe.
I suggest you to treat any voltage above 30 V as dangerous.
And at some conditions even 20 V may be dangerous.

Yes well some users still require a HV DC current source dangerous or not.
To series 2 supplies of the same make is not uncommon and clues to max voltages for doing so are in the datasheets listed as their max elevated voltage WRT mains ground.

This same question came up recently about multi channel PSU's in series mode being placed in series for even higher voltages.
Here, 120 VDC @ 6A is possible:
