2.5. OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
2.5.1. OUTPUT WIRING
The output terminal block, TB3, is located at the rear of the power system. The external
sense inputs allow the power system output voltages to be monitored directly at the load and
must be connected. The external sense wires are connected at TB2 on the rear panel. Refer
to Figure 2-1 for all connections.
The output power cables must be large enough to prevent a total voltage drop exceeding 1%
of rated output voltage between the FCS-18-P Power Source and the load. Table 2-2 shows
the AWG size of cables that may be used. Cable lengths not to exceed 25 feet. For lengths
greater than 25 feet, calculate the voltage drop from the following formula:
2 X DISTANCE X CABLE RES PER FT. X CURRENT = VOLTAGE DROP
