Versatile & Economical DC ElectronicLoadsThe 8500 series Programmable DC ElectronicLoads can be used for testing and evaluating avariety of DC power sources. Their wide operating ranges of up to 500 V and 240 A,flexible operating modes and excellent measurement accuracy make the 8500 serieswell suited for characterizing DC Power supplies, DC-DC Converters, batteries, fuelcells and solar cells. The loads can operate in CC, CV, CR or CPmode while voltage/current or resistance/powervalues are measured and displayed in real time.Load terminals are isolated and floating. Overtemperature, over power, over voltage, overcurrent and reverse polarity protection will helpprotect your valuable prototype and circuits.The DC loads are easy to use. All parameterscan be set quickly and precisely from the frontpanel, or programmed via USB interface.
