PL Series DC Supplies: Remote Sense

Remote sense for precision regulation

Most laboratory power supplies quote impressive figures for load regulation. Unfortunately, the impedance of the connection leads can make this a nonsense for regulation at the load.

If the current is high, the meter will show a significantly higher voltage than the load is actually seeing. (for example, two 0.02 Ohm connection leads will drop 120mV at 3 amps).

The PL Series has easy access remote sense terminals - unlike many general purpose laboratory power supplies - to ensure perfect regulation and meter precision.

Remote or Local at the flick of a switch

Research shows that engineers choose not to use remote sense for many applications.

The New PL Series makes the choice as easy as possible with a front mounted local/remote sense switch.
