x
Tape cables together to minimize the inductive losses. A separation of weld cables surrounding an area
of one square foot could result in losses of up to 65% (figure 2-1).
x
Bolt connections directly together. Do not place washers between the terminals of the 250DP and the
terminals of the cables. Tighten connections securely, they must be free from oxidation, dirt and/or
grease (see figure 2-2).
