Chapter 5 Applications

This chapter details the basic operating modes along with some common applications in which the
3110 series Electronic Load are used.

5-1. Local sense connections

Local sensing is used in applications where the lead lengths are relatively short, or where
load regulation is not critical. When connected in local sense mode the 5 digit voltage meter
of the 3110 series Electronic load measures the voltage at its DC input terminals. The
connecting leads between the DUT and the Electronic Load should be bundled or tie
wrapped together to minimize inductance.
Fig 5-1 illustrates a typical set up with the electronic load connected to the DC power supply.
