I have an HP 6674A PSU (normally 60 V 35 A), but mine with an option that increases the voltage to 70 V, but drops the current to 30 A. The output terminals should be covered by a cover, a photograph of which I attach. I am trying to figure out how Agilent expects these to be used.?

It looks like there are areas on these which you can break away to give some sort of hole that is not round. I am using cables which are about 6 mm in diameter. I am not bothered about remote sensing, the smaller holes would do for m4 6 mm diameter cables, but one can not fit a grommet or cable grand as there is insufficient room inside (see internal picture). If instead I use the larger holes, I will not find a grommet or cable gland that will take cables as small as 6 mm diameter.?

I am quite tempted to just drill two holes in this, and put a couple of cable glands suitable for a 6 mm diameter cables. But I suspect that the plastic might shatter if I try drilling it.? Someone else said don’t bother with cable grands as this cover is too weak to take a good tug, so I might as well use grommets with? cable ties on the inside? to stop the cable pulling out. .?

I must be missing something, as Agilent seems to put a fair amount of effort into the design of his cover, but it seems virtually unusable to me.

Dave?
