Load Wiring Length for Operation with Sense Lines
For applications using remote sensing, you must limit the voltage drop
across each load wire. Figure 2-3
shows some allowable wire lengths for
a given load current and wire size. We recommend that you use the larger
load wiring to ensure a smaller voltage drop (1 V typical maximum),
although
units will compensate for up to 5 V drop in each line. See also
“Local and Remote Sensing” on page 2–21.
