B&K Precision 8601B DC Electronic Load, 120 V, 60 A, 250 W, No GPIB
$1,037.00
B&K Precision 8601B DC Electronic Load
Overview
Transient operation reaches 25 kHz and voltage and current measurements use 16-bit resolution, making the load suitable for testing power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, chargers and photovoltaic arrays. List mode, adjustable CC slew rate, short circuit test and a built-in battery test function are included.
Remote communication uses USB (USBTMC-compliant) or RS-232 with SCPI protocol support; GPIB is not included on this model. Protection covers OVP, OCP, OPP, OTP and local/remote reverse voltage, and remote voltage sensing compensates for lead drop.
