But you have only one 'sense' terminal that does detect the correct voltage
only on one point. At this point the voltage will be correct. The voltages
at other points depend upon the length and diameter of the cables to these
points and the current for the corresponding cable. Short cables between PSU
and bus boards are the best solution unless you have a separate power supply
with sense terminal for each bus board. And I dont know what happens if the
total length of the sense line (i.e. length of the power cable and the sense
feedback cable) comes into the range of 1 m or even more. Probably ir
depends upon the power supply used and one has to try out.

The existing A-100 suitcase if made of wood as well.
