Connecting One Power Supply to a Single Load

Figure 4-5c shows how to connect a single power supply to one load. Keep output load leads close together (small loop area) to obtain a low inductance and low impedance connection to the load. If you wish to use remote sensing, connect the sense leads at the load as shown in the figures.

Connecting One Power Supply to Multiple Loads

Figure 4-5d shows how to connect a single power supply to more than one load. When connecting multiple loads to the power supply with local sensing, connect each load to the output bus bars with separate connecting wires. This minimizes mutual coupling effects and takes full advantage of the supply's low output impedance. Keep each pair of load wires as short as possible and twist or bundle them to reduce lead inductance and noise pickup.
