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 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 34210A.
For example Vmax of 34110A is 60Vdc so maximum Vsense is also 60Vdc.
For example Vmax of 34210A is 600Vdc so maximum Vsense is also 600Vdc.
For example Vmax of 34310A is 1000Vdc so maximum Vsense is also 1000Vdc.
