Before attempting to connect wires to the rear output terminals, make sure to turn
off the power supply first to avoid damage to the circuits being connected.

To satisfy safety requirements, load wires must be heavy enough not to overheat when
carrying the maximum short-circuit output current of the power supply. If there is
more than one load, then any pair of load wires must be capable of safety carrying
the full-rated current of the power supply.
