Remote voltage sensing
Normally, a power supply operating in the constant voltage
mode achieves its optimum line and load regulations, its
lowest output impedance, drift, and ripple and noise, and its
fastest transient recovery performance at the power supply
output terminals. If the load is separated from the output
terminals by any lead length, some of these performance
characteristics will be degraded at the load terminals —
usually by an amount proportional to the impedance of the
load leads compared with the output impedance of the
power supply.

WARNING
To satisfy safety requirements, load wires must be heavy enough not
to overheat while carrying the short-circuit output current of the
power supply.
