Application Note- 303

The connection rule of Electronic Load

1. Electronic Load testing connection:
When the Current/Watt rating exceeds the Plug-in unit rating.

Two or more Plug-in units may be paralleled to increase the power rating. Different electronic load modules (such as a 3310 and a 3320) may be paralleled together.
Delete short key of Electronic Load is recommended for parallel operation.
Prodigit strongly advises against series wiring of Electronic Loads.

2. Vsense and Imonitor connection

Due to the large changes of load current will cause a voltage drop on the conductor, the Vsense input BNC is designed to compensate this condition. Prodigit 3310/3320 series Electronic Loads are equipped with Auto-Vsense capability. The DVM will measure Load input binding post when Vsense BNC to clip cable is not used. The DVM will measure the power supply output terminal voltage when Vsense cable is used, the connection diagram is shown below:

3. Multiple output (both +/-) power supply testing connection:

There is a rule for connection between a multiple output power supply and a multi-channel Electronic Load: Rule: The potential of Electronic Load's positive input (Red binding post) must be higher than the Negative input (black binding post)
