New range of high-quality multifunctional electronic loads

The range supports input voltages up to 650V and is used to evaluate EV and HEV in-vehicle chargers, DC/DC converters, battery cells and power supplies for high-voltage DC supply systems. PFC tests can be run on European and other three-phase 400V system input power supplies, and high-voltage components relating to such equipment can also be evaluated and tested.

This innovative range has six operation modes: constant current; resistance; voltage; power; constant current + constant voltage; and constant resistance + constant voltage.

Customers have a choice of four models with an operating voltage of 650V and current of 100A and power of 165/1000W. Up to 9kW/450A can be obtained by connecting the maximum of four PIZ2004WHB boosters.

Other features include voltage and current monitor output, switching operation, soft start, elapsed time display, auto load off timer, remote sensing, and an external load on/off control input. Also included is protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, overpower, overheat, undervoltage and reverse polarity.

The front panel has easy-to-operate controls with a clear LCD display on which tests can be set up quickly. In addition, an insulated type current monitor terminal has been built in to the front panel, which simplifies measurements of voltage and current.

All units are equipped with USB, GPIB and RS-232C functions for incorporating into a variety of inspection systems.
