BK Precision 8522 for Rent, DC Electronic Load, 500V, 120A, 2400W

Product Highlights

The BK Precision 8522 Programmable DC Electronic Load can be used for testing and evaluating a variety of DC power sources, fuel cells and solar cell testing. All parameters can be set quickly and precisely from the front panel, or programmed via USB interface. The loads can operate in CC, CV, CR or CP mode while voltage/current or resistance/power values are measured and displayed in real time.

Load terminals are isolated and floating. Over temperature, over power, over voltage, over current and reverse polarity protection will help protect your valuable prototype and circuits. The BK Precision 8522 can operate well below 1V which is important for low voltage applications, and can regulate (provide a stable input) down to 0.1 V. The included Application Software supports front panel emulation of the load and includes a battery test application which provides A*hr rating of a battery and adjustable ending voltage levels.

Features

• Constant current (CC), resistance (CR), voltage (CV), and power (CP) operation
• Wide voltage and current range, 0 to 500 V, 0 to 240 A (5000 W max)
• Low minimum operating voltage of < 0.1 V and minimum input resistance of 5 mΩ (model 8518) allowing the load to sink high current at low voltages, required for fuel and solar cell applications
• Selected models operate up to 500 V, suitable for high voltage applications
• Built-in transient generator
• Short circuit test
• Built-in high resolution (0.1 mA/1 mV) voltage and current measurement (models 8500 & 8502)
• Bright, easy to read display (VFD technology)
• Over-Current/Over-Voltage/Over-Power/Over-Temperature Protection
• USB to TTL serial converter cables and application software included
• List mode operation for increased throughput.
• Battery testing mode to provide A*hr rating of battery (ending voltage level is adjustable)
• Flexible triggering: Create trigger events by front panel keystroke, back panel TTL signal, or software
• Remote voltage sensing to compensate for the effect of voltage drop in wires.
• Store 25 instrument setups
• Thermostatically-controlled fans allow operation in quiet environments with minimal disruption
• All models are rack mountable. Compact 300 W and 600 W models for bench use
