Wire Gauge
considerations
Before connecting the unit to a power source,
the wire gauge must be taken into account.
Load wires must be large enough to resist
overheating when a short-circuit condition
occurs as well as to maintain a good regulation.
The size, polarity and length of a wire are all
factors in determining if a wire will withstand
short circuiting.
Wires that are selected must be large enough to
withstand a short circuit and limit voltage drops
to no more than 2V per wire. Use the table
below to help make a suitable selection.

Load Line
Inductance
Considerations
When using the LSG Series load generator,
voltage drop and voltage generated due to load
line inductance and current change must be
taken into account. Extreme changes in voltage
may exceed the minimum or maximum voltage
limits. Exceeding the maximum voltage limit
may damage the LSG Series.
To determine the voltage generated, the
following equation can be used.
E = L x (∆ I / ∆ T)
E= voltage generated
L=load line inductance
