Description

The 8600 Series programmable DC electronicloads provide the performance of modular systemDC electronic loads in a compact benchtop formfactor.With fast transient operation speeds up to 25 kHz, and high 16-bit measurement resolution and accuracy,these DC loads can be used for testing andevaluating a variety of DC sources such as DCpower supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries,battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays.
The DC electronic loads can operate in constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), and constant power (CW) mode. The instrumentprovides flexible triggering capabilities, analog current control and monitoring, and standardUSB (USBTMC-compliant), GPIB, or RS-232serial interfaces for remote communication.
Wide voltage and current range, 0 to 500 V, 0 to 240 A
CC/CV/CR/CW operating modes
Transient mode up to 25 kHz
