Connecting the outputs

Binding posts
SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off AC power before connecting wires to the front panel. All wires and straps must be properly connected
with the binding posts securely tightened.
The binding posts accept wires sizes up to AWG 14 in location (A). Securely fasten all wires by hand-tightening the
binding posts. You can also insert standard banana plugs into the front of the connectors as shown in (B). A chassis
ground binding post is located on the front panel for convenience.
Maximum current rating:
(A) = 20 A
(B) = 15 A
Wire sizing
FIRE HAZARD
Select a wire size large enough to carry short-circuit current without overheating (refer to the following table).
To satisfy safety requirements, load wires must be heavy enough not to overheat while carrying the short-cir-
cuit output current of the unit. .

Notes:
1. Single conductor in free air at 30 °C with insulation
Output isolation
The outputs of the power supply are isolated from earth ground. Any output terminal may be grounded, or an
external voltage source may be connected between any terminal output and ground. However, output terminals
must be kept within ±60 Vdc of ground. Any one of the three terminals can be tied to ground as needed. An earth
ground terminal is provided on the front panel for convenience.
