Description

30-Second Fit Check

Input: 0-80V, 0-510A, 7200W with true autoranging (U/I/P).
AC supply: 90-264V AC via standard IEC socket, 45-65Hz.
Derating: Peak power 7200W, steady power 4500W at 21°C ambient.
Regulation: Load regulation CV ≤0.1% Umax, CC ≤0.2% Imax.
Protections: Adjustable OVP (0-103% Umax), OCP, OPP, plus OT, PF.
Built-in function generator, battery test, MPPT tracking, and resistance mode.

What It Is + Why It Matters

Ultra-high-current programmable electronic load for battery discharge, power supply burn-in, solar inverter MPPT tracking, and automotive electronics.
Autoranging input – delivers full 7200W across wide voltage/current range; no manual range switching.
Built-in function generator with sine, triangle, rectangular, trapezoid, arbitrary (99 points), ramp, DIN 40839, plus battery test and MPPT tracking (4 modes).
Internal resistance simulation (CR mode) for realistic battery loading.
Master-Slave parallel – up to 16 units for total power up to 115kW; true current sharing via Share bus and digital MS bus.
High dynamics: Current rise time < 23 μs (10-90%).

Note: Remote sensing compensates voltage drop at source terminals (max 5% of Umax). Always use DC terminal covers – low voltage but high current requires proper cable sizing.

GPIB optional (option 3W replaces module slot).
Remote sense for accurate voltage measurement at source terminals.

Best for / Not for

Best for: High-current battery discharge testing (EV battery modules, lead-acid banks), DC power supply burn-in and regulation test, solar panel MPPT characterization, fuel cell loading, automotive component test (DIN 40839), and general-purpose electronic load applications up to 80V/510A.
Not for: Applications requiring energy recovery (use PSB series); series connection of multiple loads (not permitted); source operation (power supply only).

Selection Checklist + Integration

Confirm source voltage ≤80V DC and current ≤510A (peak 7200W). Note steady power limit of 4500W at 21°C.
DC cable cross-section: For 510A, use at least 2x 120mm² (2x AWG250) per pole; use ring lugs.
Mounting: 19" rack, 3U height, allow >30cm rear clearance for airflow.
For master-slave parallel: Connect Share bus (twisted pair) and MS bus (RJ45 CAT5); terminate ends via DIP switch. Up to 16 units.
For battery test: Use built-in static or dynamic discharge mode with adjustable discharge voltage, time, and capacity thresholds.
For MPPT tracking: Select mode MPP1 (find MPP), MPP2 (track), MPP3 (fast track), or MPP4 (user-defined curve via USB).
For remote sensing: Use supplied sense connector to compensate voltage drop; do not connect NC pins (80V model has no NC restriction).
Firmware updates via USB-B and EA Power Control software (included).
