Connecting Single Loads
Figure 2-3 shows the recommended load connections for a single load
which is sensing its voltage locally. Local sense lines shown are the
default connections at the rear panel APG J1 connector (see Figure 4-1 on
page 4–5). The load lines should use the largest gauge and shortest length
of wire possible to ensure optimal performance.
You do not need remote sensing for basic operation of your power supply.
However, if you wish to correct any small drops in your load lines, then
use the remote sensing feature. See “Step 7: Connecting Remote Sensing”
on page 2–13 for more information.
Connecting Multiple Loads
The proper connection of distributed loads is an important aspect of
power supply use. The common method of connection is a radial load
connection. Power is connected to each load individually from a single
pair of terminals designated as the positive and negative distribution
terminals. This pair of terminals may be the power supply output
terminals, the load terminals, or a distinct set of terminals especially
established for distribution use. In this scheme, there are no ground loops
and the effect of one load upon another is minimized.
