Electronic Loads kikusui PLZ150U (60A-150V)

Description

The PLZ-U Series provides a set of compact, high-performance multi-channel electronic load systems capable of operating in three modes – constant current, constant resistance, and constant voltage. Adopting the modular (plug-in) design, the Series consists of four models – two frame models and two load unit models. The PLZ-30F frame can configure the load units up to three channels, and the PLZ-50F frame can configure up to five channels. Two load unit models are available, the PLZ-70UA (75-watt load that operates even at 0V) and PLZ-150U (150-watt load that operates from 1.5V up). Load units can be operated in parallel to increase the current capacity or power capacity. By combining different models of load units and frame, the power capacity can be changed from 75W to 750W (when five PLZ150U units are mounted in a PLZ-50F frame). Supporting the GPIB and RS-232C interfaces as standard, the electronic load can be built into various types of test systems, making it useful in testing fuel cells, secondary cells0, DC/DC converters, switching power supplies, multiple-output power supplies, and more. Both interfaces support IEEE 488.2 as well as the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) commands, developed for testing and measuring instruments.
