PLH and PLH-P series Tour Map
PLH Series DC Power Supplies: Remote Sense
Remote sense for precision regulation
Remote voltage sense for "true" load 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.
Although the lower currents of the PLH
series makes voltage drop in the leads a less significant
problem than with lower voltage power supplies, perfect
regulation still requires sensing at the load.
The PLH Series has easy access remote
sense terminals - unlike many 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 PLH Series makes the choice as easy as
possible with a front mounted local/remote sense switch.
