5-2. Remote sense connections

Remote sensing compensates for the voltage drop in applications that require long lead
lengths. It is useful under low voltage high current conditions. The remote voltage sense
terminals (Vs+) and (Vs-) of the load are connected to (+) and (-) output of the AC/DC
Source. Be sure to observe the correct polarity or damage may occur. The power and
sense cables should be bundled or tie wrapped together to minimize inductance.
Fig 5-2 illustrates a typical set up with the electronic load connected for remote sense
operation.
If V-sense is set to 'ON' and the sense terminals are connected to the DUT the load will
check and compensate for all voltage drops. The maximum voltage sense compensation is
the same as the rating of the 3270.
