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.
