B&K Precision Unveils New DC Electronic Load
Yorba Linda, CA — B&K Precision has introduced its new 8600 Series programmable DC electronic loads. Delivering the performance of modu- lar system DC electronic loads in a compact benchtop form factor, the 8600 Series marks the latest addi- tion to the company’s standalone DC load offerings. The new series in- cludes three models of 150 to 250W DC electronic loads that can sink current up to 60A at wide voltage ranges up to 500V. All models provide fast transient
Combined with a high resolu-
tion and high accuracy 16-bit meas- urement system, the instrument’s bright dual-line display allows users to view both measured and set pa- rameters simultaneously. Other use- ful features include adjustable cur- rent slew rates, built-in rise and fall measurement, and voltage turn-on capabilities to start and stop dis- charging of a power source at a spec- ified voltage level. For remote control and programming, the 8600 Series includes standard GPIB, USB, and RS-232 interfaces supporting US- BTMC and SCPI communication protocols. The instrument also of- fers terminals on the rear for ex- ternal triggering, input On/Off control, voltage fault monitoring, remote sense, and external analog current control and monitoring. LabVIEW drivers are provid-

operation speeds up to 25kHz along with built-in battery and LED test mode functions, making these high- performance DC loads suitable for testing and evaluating a variety of DC sources such as DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, LED drivers, and photovoltaic arrays. Most electronic loads regulate
their input current or voltage using constant current (CC) mode or con- stant voltage (CV) mode. The 8600 Series can operate in any of these modes along with constant resistance (CR) and constant power (CW) mode. In addition, the loads provide tran- sient, list, and automatic test func- tions for more complex loading pro- files of varying load levels, switching times, and operation modes.
ed along with free application software for front panel emula-
tion, generation and execution of test sequences, and logging measure- ments using a PC. Users can inte- grate this application software with National Instruments’ Data Dash- board app to create custom dash- boards on smartphones and tablets for additional monitoring functions. Furthermore, 8600 Series models
provide these protection modes to pre- vent damage to the unit and device under test: overvoltage (OVP), overcur- rent (OCP), overpower (OPP), overtem- perature (OTP), and local/remote re-
verse voltage (LRV/RRV) protection. Contact: B&K Precision Corpo- ration, 22820 Savi Ranch Parkway,
