2.7 Connection
2.7.1 Output Connection
The device under test positive and negative input terminal is connected to the “+” and “-” output terminals on the
front panel of the power supply respectively. When connecting, pay attention to the wire diameter, length and
polarity of the output cable. To prevent the wire diameter from being too small to affect the test accuracy and
generate large heat to cause safety accidents, please refer to "Table 6-1 Recommended Wire Diameters for
Cables" for wire diameter selection.
Figure 2-6 Power Supply Output Connection

The diameter of the wire connected to the load must be adequate so as to carry the
maximum applied current.

2.7.2 V-Sensing Connection
There are two kinds of V-sensing: local V-sensing and remote V-sensing.
FTP3000 series power supplies are able to compensate for the voltage drop caused by output connecting cables.
For remote sensing, be sure to connect the power supply’s remote sense connector “+S” to the load’s positive
input terminal and the “–S” connector to the load’s negative input terminal.
Do not reverse the connections.
