The BK Precision 8624 programmable DC electronic loads provide the performance of modular system DC electronic loads in a compact benchtop form factor. With fast transient operation speeds and high 16-bit measurement resolution, these standalone DC loads can be used for testing and evaluating a variety of DC sources such as DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays. Versatile internal, external, and remote triggering options allow the dynamic load behavior to be synchronized with other events.
To ensure the reliability of your testing, the BK Precision 8624 provides a power-on system self-test and numerous protection features: overtemperature (OTP), overvoltage (OVP), overcurrent (OCP), overpower (OPP), and local/remote reverse voltage (LRV/RRV) protection. The BK Precision 8624 can execute multiple test sequences in automatic test mode. Up to 100 different sequences can be linked to run steps of various operating modes and loading conditions. Each sequence can also be programmed with upper and lower limit Pass/Fall criteria. The BK Precision 8624 provides standard GPIB, USB, and RS232 interfaces for remote communication.
