1
The 4- terminal current shunt is used to eliminate output current measurement error caused by voltage drops in the
load leads and connections. It has special current-monitoring terminals inside the load connection terminals. Connect
the voltmeter directly to these current-monitoring terminals.
2
A ratio transformer is required only when verifying output voltage readback to MIL-STD-45662A 4:1 test
equipment ratio requirements.

Test Setup

Figure B-1 shows the setup for the tests. Be certain to use load leads of sufficient wire gauge to carry the
full output current (see Chapter 2).
