8600 Series Programmable DC Electronic Loads

B&K Precision 8600 Series Programmable DC Electronic Loads offer the performance of modular system DC electronic loads in a small benchtop design. Fast transient operation speeds and high 16-bit measurement resolution allow the 8600 series to be used for testing and evaluating a wide variety of DC sources such as DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays. The 8600 DC loads can operate in constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), or constant power (CW) mode. They can be configured to provide a dynamically changing load to the DC source with fast load switching times. Versatile internal, external, and remote triggering options enable the dynamic load behavior to be synchronized with other events. Productivity may be increased by saving test parameters into any one of the 100 memory areas for quick system recall. All load parameters such as voltage, current, slew rate, and width can be set through the front panel or programmed remotely.
