Question
What is the proper wiring method to use when wiring the input and output?
Answer
We recommend wiring the Power Supply with
the following method in order to minimize noise.
Separate the Power Supply's input wiring from its
output wiring and twist the wire pairs.
If the input wires are bundled with the output wires or wired too close
together, noise will be induced in the output lines.
Use heavy-gauge, short
input wires.
The input wires are a source of radiation noise, so use heavy gauge, short
input wires.
Do not make loops in the
input wiring or output wiring.
If there are loops in the wiring, the Power Supply may become a radiation
noise source for other electronic devices and the loops may act as
antennae that induce high-frequency noise.
Use a heavy-gauge, short
ground wire.
If a long wire is used for grounding, the attenuation capabilities of the
Power Supply's internal noise filter will be reduced, so use a
heavy-gauge, short ground wire.
Connect a noise filter
Connect a noise filter to the Power Supply's input line if there is a
device that produces surges (such as a large magnetic relay) connected to
the same AC input line and electronic devices connected to the Power
Supply's output are not functioning properly.
Also, we recommend grounding the noise filter; NF with a heavy-gauge,
short wire.
