Output connections

Before attempting to connect wires to the front output terminals,

make sure to disable the power supply output first to avoid damage
to the circuits being connected.
Voltage drops
The load wires must be large enough to avoid excessive
voltage drops due to the impedance of the wires. In general,
if the wires are heavy enough to carry the maximum short
circuit current without overheating, excessive voltage drops
will not be a problem. The voltage drops across the load
wires should be limited to less than 2 V. Refer to the
American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard to calculate the
voltage drop for some commonly used AWG wire copper.
