2-10. Connecting the load
2-10-1. Load Wiring
The following considerations should be made to select wiring for connecting the load to the power supply:
- Current carrying capacity of the wire.
◆Refer to "2-10-2. Current Carrying Capacity".
- Insulation rating of the wire should be at least equivalent to the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
- Maximum wire length and voltage drop.
◆Refer to "2-10-2. Current Carrying Capacity".
- Noise and impedance effects of the load wiring.
◆Refer to "2-10-4. Noise and Impedance Effects".
2-10-2. Current Carrying Capacity
Two factors must be considered when selecting the wire size:
1. Wires should be heavy enough not to overheat while carrying the power supply load current at the rated load, or
the current that would flow in the event the load wires were shorted, whichever is greater.
2. Wire size should be selected to enable voltage drop per lead to be less than 1.0V at the rated current. Although
units will compensate for up to 5V in each load wire, it is recommended to minimize the voltage drop (1V typical
maximum) to prevent excessive output power consumption from the power supply and poor dynamic response to
load changes.
◆Please refer to Tables 2-2 and 2-3 for maximum wire length to limit voltage drop in American and European
dimensions respectively.

For currents not shown in Table 2-2 and 2-3, use the formula:
Maximum length=1000/ (current x resistively)
Where current is expressed in Amperes and resistively in ohms/km or ohms/1000ft.
WARNING
!
Turn off the AC input power before making or changing any rear panel connection.
Ensure that all connections are securely tightened before applying power. There is a
potential shock hazard when using a power supplywith a rated output greater than 40V.

2-10-3. Wire termination
The wires should be properly terminated with terminals securely attached. DO not use unterminated wires for load
connection at the power supply.
CAUTION
!
When local sensing, a short from +LS or +S to -V or -S or -LS, will cause damage to
the power supply. Reversing the sense wires might cause damage to the power
supply in local and remote sensing. (Do not connect -S to +V or +S to -V.)
2-10-4. Noise and Impedance Effects
To minimize the noise pickup or radiation, the load wires and remote sense wires should be twisted pairs to the
shortest possible length. Shielding of sense leads may be necessary in high noise environments. Where shielding
is used, connect the shield to the chassis via a rear panel Ground screw. Even if noise is not a concern, the load and
remote sense wires should be twisted-pairs to reduce coupling, which might impact the stability of power supply.
The sense leads should be separated from the power leads. Twisting the load wires reduces the parasitic inductance
of the cable which could produce high frequency voltage spikes at the load and the output of power supply, because of
current variation in the load itself. The impedance introduced between the power supply output and the load could
make the ripple and noise at the load worse than the noise at the power supply rear panel output. Additional filtering
with bypass capacitors at the load terminals may be required to bypass the high frequency load current.
2-10-5. Inductive loads
Inductive loads can produce voltage spikes that may be harmful to the power supply. A diode should be connected
across the output. The diode voltage and current rating should be greater than the power supply maximum output
voltage and current rating. Connect the cathode to the positive output and the anode to the negative output of the
power supply. Where positive load transients such as back EMF from a motor may occur, connect a surge
suppressor across the output to protect the power supply. The breakdown voltage rating of the suppressor must be
approximately 10% higher than the maximum output voltage of the power supply.

2-10-6. Making the load connections
CAUTION
!
Ensure that the load wiring mounting hardware does not short the output terminals.
Heavy connecting cables must have some form of strain relief to prevent loosening the
connections or bending the bus-bars.

WARNING
!
Hazardous voltages exist at the outputs and the load connections when using a power
supply with a rated output greater than 40V. To protect personnel against accidental
contact with hazardous voltages, ensure that the load and its connections have no
accessible live parts. Ensure that the load wiring insulation rating is greater than or
equal to the maximum output voltage of the power supply.
