Section 3. Load Connection and Sensing
Load Connection
Load Wiring
To select wiring for connecting the load to the power supply, consider the following
factors:
• Insulation rating of the wire
• Current carrying capacity of the wire
• Maximum load wiring length for operation with sense lines
• Noise and impedance effects of the load lines
Insulation Rating Use load wiring with a minimum insulation rating at least
equivalent to the maximum output voltage of the power supply. If the output is offset
from ground, the insulation must be rated at least for the sum of the supply’s
maximum output and the offset.
Current Carrying Capacity As a minimum, load wiring must have a current
capacity greater than the output current rating of the power supply. This ensures that
the wiring will not be damaged even if the load is shorted. See
Table 3.1 for the
maximum current rating, based on 450 A/cm
2
, for various gauges of wire rated for
105 °C operation. Operating at the maximum current rating results in a temperature
rise of approximately 30 °C for a wire operating in free air. Where load wiring must
operate in areas with elevated ambient temperatures or is bundled with other wiring,
use larger gauges or wiring rated for higher temperatures.
