3.9.9 Connecting multiple loads, radial distribution method
Fig.3-12 shows multiple loads connected to one supply. Each load should be connected to the
power supply’s output terminals using separate pairs of wires. It is recommended that each pair of
wires will be as short as possible and twisted or shielded to minimize noise pick-up and radiation.
The sense wires should be connected to the power supply output terminals or to the load with the
most critical load regulation requirement.

3.9.10 Multiple load connection with distribution terminals
If remotely located output distribution terminals are used, the power supply output terminals should
be connected to the distribution terminals by a pair of twisted and/or shielded wires. Each load
should be separately connected to the remote distribution terminals (see Fig.3-13). If remote
sensing is required, the sensing wires should be connected to the distribution terminals or at the
most critical load.
