2.7.3 Connecting Single Loads
Figure 2-9 and Figure 2-10 show recommended load and sensing connections for single loads.
Local sense lines shown are default J3 connections. Refer to Section 3.3.1 Connecting
Remote Sense Lines for more information about the sense line shield.

2.7.4 Connecting Multiple Loads
Proper connection of distributed loads is an important aspect of power supply applications. Two
common methods of connection are the parallel power distribution method and the radial
distribution method.
P ARALLEL P OWER D ISTRIBUTION
This common method involves connecting leads from the power supply to one load, from that
load to the next load, and so on for each load in the system. This distribution method results in
the voltage at each load depending on the current drawn by the other loads, allowing dc ground
loops to develop. Except for low current applications, this method is not recommended.
