3.2 Test Setup

Connect the power supply to the input terminal blocks and place the GND and 12V connections in the correct slots. Input current for this board is up to approximately 10A, therefore verify that the power supply is rated to handle 10A at 12V. Connect the electronic load to the output terminal blocks by placing the GND cables in the terminal labeled GND and the output cables in the terminal labeled 0V8. Increase the load to 80A.
