Voltage drops

U8001A/U8002A User's and Service Guide
Before attempting to connect wires to the front output terminals,
make sure to turn off the power supply first to avoid damage to the
circuits being connected.
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.
