We recommend operating the ENDURO 250 Volt Power Supply atlimiting voltage for most applications. See below for more details.Voltage LimitingFor most electrophoresis methods resistance increases throughout the run. Limiting thevoltage provides the following advantages:• Current and power decrease throughout the run, providing an improving margin of safetyover time.• The same voltage setting can be used regardless of the number or thickness of gels beingelectrophoresed.Current LimitingDiscontinuous buffer systems and, to a lesser extent, continuous systems increase resistanceduring the run. If you use the current limiting setting on the ENDURO 250 Volt Power Supply,the voltage will increase as resistance increases to satisfy Ohm’s law (V=IR). If no voltage limitis set and a local fault condition occurs, such as a poor connection, very high local resistancemay cause the voltage to increase to the maximum capacity of the power supply. This maylead to local overheating and damage to the electrophoresis cell or create unsafe conditions.When operating under constant current conditions, set a voltage limit on the power supply at orslightly above the maximum expected voltage.
