Over-voltage protection considerations
You must take into account any voltage drop in the load leads when setting the over-voltage trip point. This is
because the OVP circuit senses at the output terminals and not at the sense terminals. Due to the voltage drop in
the load leads, the voltage sensed by the OVP circuit could be higher than the voltage being regulated at the load.
Output noise considerations
Any noise picked up on the sense leads will appear at the output terminals and may adversely affect CV load
regulation. Twist the sense leads or use a ribbon cable to minimize the pickup of external noise. In extremely noisy
environments it may be necessary to shield the sense leads. Ground the shield at the power supply end only; do not
use the shield as one of the sensing conductors.
