DC electronic load BK8550

RS-232with USB interface

The BK8550 Series DC electronic loads provide many features and capabilities typically found in performance instruments, at a value price. Capable of sinking 350 W in a compact benchtop form factor, this series is well equipped for testing and evaluating power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays. Configurable list, transient, and automatic test modes offer dynamically changing load conditions for evaluating a variety of DC sources. The dedicated battery discharge mode simplifies battery testing. • High power density, up to 350 W in compact 2U half-rack form factor • Transient mode up to 20 kHz in CC mode • CC/CV/CR/CW operating modes • Front-panel remote sense terminals • List mode programming • Automatic test mode • Overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), Overpower (OPP) protection, remote reverse voltage (RRV), and key-lock function • Thermostatically-controlled fans for quiet operation • Short-circuit test • Configurable battery discharge test • CR-LED mode to simulate the loading behavior of typical LEDs • Adjustable voltage/current slew rate • Front panel USB host port for logging measurement data • Operating software and battery test software provided • RS232 and Handler interfaces
