Note that the minimum wire size required to prevent overheating may not be large enough to prevent
over-voltage tripping or maintain good regulation. Under most conditions, the load wires should also
be heavy enough to limit the voltage drop to no more than l.0 V per lead.
To help prevent nuisance tripping of the over-voltage circuit, select a wire size sufficient to handle the
FULL output current of the unit no matter what the intended load current or current limit setting.
Load lead resistance is also an important factor relating to the CV stability of the instrument when
remote sensing capacitive loads. If high capacitance loads are expected, you should not use wire
gauges heavier than 12 to 14 AWG for long runs of load lead.

Notes:
1. Capacity for AWG wires from MIL-W-5088B. Maximum ambient temperature: 55°C. Maximum wire temperature: 105°C
2. Capacity for metric wires from IE Publication 335-1.
3. Capacity of aluminum wire is approximately 84% of that listed for copper wire.
4. “x” indicates wire is not rated for the maximum output current of the power module.
5. Because of wire inductance considerations, it is also recommended that you keep your load leads twisted, tie wrapped, or
bundled together and less than 50 feet (14.7 meters) in length per lead.
