Connecting the outputs
When E36731A is used as an electronic load, the input terminals are referred to as "outputs" or "output
terminals" throughout this document.
SHOCK HAZARD
The output terminal is designed for DC application. Ensure that transient voltages do not exceed 480 V
SHOCK HAZARD
Floating voltage must not exceed 240 V
must not be more than 240 V
DO NOT CONNECT FRONT AND REAR OUTPUT TERMINAL CONCURRENTLY
Do not connect the front and rear output terminal concurrently for the same output channel. When the front
output terminal is in used, the rear output terminal must be left unused. Failing to observe the connection
requirement could potentially raise a fire hazard if the input current exceeding 60 A.
DO NOT REMOVE THE MATING CONNECTOR
Do not remove the rear mating connector as it acts as safety cover to the rear output terminal.
All DUTs should either be connected to the front panel binding post or rear panel output.
Binding posts
SHOCK HAZARD
Turn off AC power before connecting wires to the front panel. All wires and straps must be properly connected
with the binding posts securely tightened.
SHOCK HAZARD
To prevent accidental contact with hazardous voltages, do not extend the wire beyond the contact area inside
the output connector.
The E36731A comes with high current detachable binding post that provides you with a quick and safe DUT
connections.
The binding posts accept wires sizes up to AWG 6 in location (A).
Wire size AWG 6 is the recommended wire. If you are connecting more than one wire on each binding post, twist the
wires to ensure a good contact and securely fasten all wires by hand-tightening the binding posts. If you are using a
slotted screwdriver, tighten the binding post to 8 in-lb (90 N-cm) for a secure connection.
Maximum current rating:
(A) = 80 A
Once you have connect the wire, simply push and attach the binding post to the front panel, as shown below.
