1-4-5. Load Wiring

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-H 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-H Series.
To determine the voltage generated, the following equation can be used. E = L x (∆ I / ∆ T)
E= voltage generated L=load line inductance
I= change of current (A) T= time (us)
Load line inductance (L) can be approximated as 1uH per 1 meter of wire. (∆ I / ∆ T) is the slew rate in A/us.
The diagram above shows how changes in current can affect voltage.

Limiting Load line inductance
Load line inductance can be reduced in two methods.
Method 1
Ensure load wires are as short as possible and twist the positive and negative load wires together.
“Twisted pair” will be shown on any connection diagram
where the load wires should be twisted together.
Method 2
Current change can be limited by limiting the slew rate or response speed when switching in CR and CC mode.

1-4-6. Load Wire Connections

Description
The LSG-H Series has input terminals on both the front and rear panels. Follow the procedures below for all load connections. Please adhere to the following precautions to ensure your safety and to protect the unit from damage.
Connection
When connecting the LSG-H Series to the power source, make sure that the polarity of the connection between the DUT and the unit matches.
Ensure that the maximum input voltage is not exceeded. The maximum input voltage is 800 volts.
Caution
If the polarity to the input terminals is reversed, the reverse voltage protection function is tripped. The reverse voltage protection function is tripped when reverse voltages greater than about -0.3V are detected.
Warning
Do not touch any of the input terminals when the voltage is applied to an input terminal.
Warning
Connecting the input terminals to the wrong polarity can damage the power source or the LSG-H Series.
Warning
The front panel and rear panel input terminals are physically connected. Any voltage that is input to one set of terminals will also appear on the other set of terminals.
