Table 1 – Wire Gauge Rating
Before connecting wires to the output terminals, turn
OFF the power supply to avoid damage to the
instrument and the device under test (DUT). For safety,
load wires must have a wire gauge size large enough to
prevent overheating when the power supply operates at
maximum short circuit output current. It will also
prevent large voltage drops from resistances in the
wires.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Hazardous voltages may exist at the outputs and the
load connections when using a power supply with a
rated output greater than 40V. To protect personnel
against accidental contact with hazardous voltages,
ensure that the load and its connections have no
accessible live parts. Ensure that the load wiring
insulation rating is greater than to the maximum output
voltage of the power supply.
