The following table lists the characteristics of AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire for some
common wire sizes that can be accommodated in the output connectors.

Voltage Drops and Lead Resistance
To optimize the performance and transient response in your test system, please observe the following
guidelines:
Twist the load leads together and keep them short. The shorter the leads, the better the performance.
Twist the sense leads together, but do not bundle the sense leads with the load leads.
For best performance, keep the total cable length to the load to about 5 meters (15 ft) or less.
The load wires must also be of a diameter large enough to avoid excessive voltage drops due to the
impedance of the wires. In general, if the wires are heavy enough to carry the maximum short circuit
current without overheating, excessive voltage drops will not be a problem.
