DC electronic load BK8514B

programmableRS-232

The 8500B Series programmable DC electronic loads improve upon all aspects of its predecessor while maintaining dependability at a value price. This series supports both SCPI and the backwards compatible legacy protocol. With a transient mode speed of up to 10 kHz and multi-type input terminals for banana plug or spade connectors, these DC loads are suitable for testing and evaluating DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays. • Maximum input power up to 1500 W • CC/CV/CR/CW operating modes • Transient mode up to 10 kHz in CC mode • 16-bit voltage and current measurement system with up to 0.1 mV / 0.1 mA resolution • List mode and adjustable slew rate in CC mode • Short circuit test • Built-in battery test function with voltage level, capacity level, and timer stop conditions • CR-LED mode to simulate the loading behavior of typical LEDs • Remote voltage sensing to compensate for the effect of voltage drop in wires • Analog current control and monitoring • TTL (DB9) interface, includes TTL to USB adapter (models 8542B, 8500B, 8502B, 8510B) • USB and RS232 interfaces (8514B only) • OVP/OCP/OPP/OTP and local/remote reverse voltage (LRV/RRV) protection
