Use only the power cord that was supplied with your instrument. Using other types of power cords may cause
overheating of the power cord, resulting in fire.
SHOCK HAZARD
The power cord provides a chassis ground through a third conductor. Be certain that your power outlet is of
the three-conductor type with the correct pin connected to earth ground.
Ensure the AC voltage setting on the rear panel is correctly set prior connecting the power cord.
Connect the power cord to the AC inlet connector on the rear of the unit. If the wrong power cord was shipped with
your unit, contact your nearest Keysight Sales and Support Office.
Removing the power cord will disconnect AC input power to the unit.

Connecting the outputs
All loads should either be connected to the front panel binding post or rear panel output.
Binding posts
SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off AC power before making rear panel connections. All wires and straps must be properly connected with
the terminal block screws securely tightened.
The binding posts accept wires sizes up to AWG 14 in location (A). Securely fasten all wires by hand-tightening the
binding posts. You can also insert standard banana plugs into the front of the connectors as shown in (B). A chassis
ground binding post is located on the front panel for convenience.
Maximum current rating:
(A) = 20 A
(B) = 15 A
Rear outputs connections
SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off AC power before making rear panel connections. All wires and straps must be properly connected with
the terminal block screws securely tightened.
Disconnect the connector plug to make your wire connections. The 12 A connector plug accepts wires sizes from
AWG 12 to AWG 30. Wire sizes smaller than AWG 20 are not recommended. Connect the load wires to the + and terminals. Connect the sense wires to the +s and -s terminals.
Securely fasten all wires by tightening the screw terminals. Insert the connector plug into the back of the unit.
Secure the 12 A connector by tightening the locking screws. A chassis ground binding post is located next to the fan
ventilation hole for ground connections.
Part number information for the connector kit is provided under Standard Shipped Items.

Wire sizing
FIRE HAZARD
Select a wire size large enough to carry short-circuit current without overheating (refer to the following table).
To satisfy safety requirements, load wires must be heavy enough not to overheat while carrying the short-circuit output current of the unit. .

Output isolation
The outputs of all three power supplies are isolated from earth ground. Any output terminal may be grounded, or an
external voltage source may be connected between any terminal output and ground. However, output terminals
must be kept within ±240 Vdc of ground. The ±25 V supplies are tied together at one common terminal (Applies to
E36311A or when the power supply is in E3631A mode). Any one of the three terminals can be tied to ground as
needed. An earth ground terminal is provided on the front panel for convenience.
Multiple loads
When connecting multiple loads to the power supply, each load should be connected to the output terminals using
separate connecting wires. This minimizes mutual coupling effects between loads and takes full advantage of the
low output impedance of the power supply. Each pair of wires should be as short as possible and twisted or shielded
to reduce lead inductance and noise pick-up. If a shield is used, connect one end to the power supply ground
terminal and leave the other end disconnected.
If cabling considerations require the use of distribution terminals that are located remotely from the power supply,
connect output terminals to the distribution terminals by a pair of twisted or shielded wires. Connect each load to
the distribution terminals separately.
For multiple load application, all loads should either be connected to the front panel binding post or rear panel
output.

Parallel connections
Only connect outputs that have identical voltage and current ratings in parallel.
Connecting outputs in parallel provides a greater current capability than can be obtained from a single output.
The following figures show how to connect two outputs when in Auto-Parallel mode.
