Ways to avoid cross-connection of remote sense wires<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important to ensure the correct polarities of the power supply are use in the remote sense circuit; the +ve sense wire should connect at the load near the +ve Vload connection, and the \u2013ve sense wire to the -ve Vload connection. <\/p>\n

\"Simplified<\/a>

Simplified schematic of remote sense circuit with external output and sense wires<\/p><\/div>\n

If the remote sense wires are crossed-connected (i.e. +ve sense to \u2013Vload and \u2013ve sense to +Vload), current will flow in the sense lines and ultimately this will burn out the internal R-sense resistors, causing the power supply to malfunction. <\/p>\n

Typically, these internal R-sense resistors are around 10 to 100 Ohms with a maximum rating of 0.5W.<\/p>\n
