Output Connections
Front panel binding posts are available to connect load wires
for bench operation and are paralleled with the rear panel
(+) and (–) connections. Both the front and rear panel
terminals are optimized for noise, regulation, and transient
response as documented in
Chapter 7.
Available connections on the rear output terminals include
the (+) and (–) outputs, the (+) and (–) sense terminals, and
an earth ground terminal. The rear output terminals accept
wire sizes from American Wire Gauge (AWG) 24 to AWG 14.
Current ratings
Table 1- 7 lists the characteristics of the AWG copper wire.
Before attempting to connect wires to the rear output terminals, make
sure to turn off the power supply first to avoid damage to the circuits
being connected.
When making load connections from the rear output terminals, four load
wire connection is recommended to keep good CV load regulation if
carrying the full-rated current of the power supply.
