Single Loads

Figure 2.6

and

Figure 2.7

show recommended load and sensing connections for

single loads. Local sense lines shown are default J2 connections.

You do not need remote sensing for basic operation of your supply. However, if you
wish to correct for any small drops in your load lines, then use this feature. Refer to

Using Remote Sensing

for more information.

Loads

Proper connection of distributed loads is an important aspect of power supply use.
Two common methods of connection are the parallel power distribution method and
the radial power distribution method.

Parallel Power Distribution

This distribution 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 method results in the voltage at each load depending on the
current drawn by the other loads and allows DC ground loops to develop. Except for
low current applications, we do not recommend using this method.
