The Series 2380 programmable DC electronic loads can sink a wide range of voltages and currents. The 200W Model 2380-500-15 can accept up to 500V or 15A. The 250W Model 2380-120-60 can accept up to 120V or 60A. The 750W Model 2380- 500 30 can accept up to 500V or 30A. These single-output, stand-alone electronic loads are cost-effective and self-contained.

Multiple Operating Modes

These DC electronic loads can operate in constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), or constant power (CP) mode. They can also be configured to provide a dynamically changing load to the DC source with load switching times as fast as 25kHz. Versatile internal, external, and remote triggering options allow synchronizing the dynamic load behavior with other events.

Comprehensive Protection

Protection functions built into Series 2380 DC electronic loads ensure the reliability and safety of all tests. These functions include over temperature protection (OTP), over voltage protection (OVP), over current protection (OCP), over power protection (OPP), and local/remote reverse voltage (LRV/RRV) protection. A power-on system self-test ensures the instrument is operating properly.

Full Complement of Settings and Controls

To maximize testing efficiency, you can save test parameters into any one of 100 memory locations for quick recall. All load parameters, such as voltage, current, slew rate, and dynamic mode time intervals, can be set using the front panel controls or programmed remotely. A numeric keypad and rotary knob allow entering settings quickly and setting parameters to their full resolution easily. USB-TMC, GPIB and RS-232 interfaces are built in for remote control and communication. A current monitor interface simplifies monitoring input current waveforms by providing a connection for an oscilloscope.
