[Elecraft] Voltage drop in power cable

[hawley, charles j jr]

I wonder what the time constant is for that sense to respond...say to CW or SSB

I don't use the Lambda for the ham shack, but this would solve the problem. The sense leads would be connected as close to the transceiver as possible. They send a sample of the voltage at that point back to the power supply so the power supply can properly regulate the voltage at that point. The sense wires are typically small gauge wire because they don't carry much current at all. For safety, the sense lead should be fused at the voltage source. I would only use the supply to power the transceiver, or make sure all equipment is powered from the same point as the transceiver to avoid over-voltage to other equipment.
