1 Introduction

Output connections

Before attempting to connect wires to the front output terminals, make sure
WARNING
to disable the power supply output first to avoid damage to the circuits
being connected.
Voltage drops
The load wires must be large enough to avoid excessive voltage drops due to the
impedance of the wires. In general, if the wires are heavy enough to carry the
maximum short circuit current without overheating, excessive voltage drops will
not be a problem. The voltage drops across the load wires should be limited to
less than 2 V. Refer to the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard to calculate the
voltage drop for some commonly used AWG wire copper.
