The B+K Precision BK85xx series devices are programmable DC electronic loads. They can be used for testing and evaluating a variety of DC power sources. The instruemts' wide operating ranges (up to 500 V and 240 A), flexible operating modes and excellent measurement accuracy make them well suited for characterizing DC power supplies, DC/DC-converters, batteries, fuel cells and solar cells. The loads can operate in CC, CV, CR or CP mode (constant current, voltage, resistance and power) while voltage/current or resistance/power values are measured and displayed in real time. Load terminals are isolated and floating. The devices offer over-temperature, over-power, over-voltage, over-current and reverse polarity protection.
