PL Electronic Loads

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and functionalities of the PL series electronic load devices, which are designed for testing and measurement applications. These devices offer various power ratings, dynamic functions, and protection features, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Specifications: The PL series includes 12 models with voltage ratings up to 400V and current ratings up to 150A. Power ratings are available at 500W, 1000W, and 1500W. The devices support short-time overload capacity and dynamic operation modes.
Operating Modes: The devices operate in Constant Current and Constant Resistance modes, both statically and dynamically. With RS232 or GPIB interfaces, a firmware-controlled Constant Power mode is also available. Manual load settings are adjusted using 10-turn potentiometers.
Dynamic Operation: The built-in modulator allows switching between two load levels (A and B) with adjustable switching times from 0.5ms to 500ms. This can be controlled via an analog I/O connector using a 3V to 30V pulse.
Protection Features: The devices include current limiting, power limiting, over-temperature, over-voltage, reverse-polarity protection, and protection of the GND line in the Analog I/O Connector. Exceeding input levels triggers a blinking display.
Analog I/O Connector: Provides a 0-10V measurement level for input voltage, load current, power, nominal current, and master-slave control. It also supports various logic input/output functions.
Interfaces: Options include RS232 and GPIB interfaces, allowing control of all functions and dynamic control of the device. The interfaces are galvanically isolated to prevent ground loop issues.
Software Tools: A program library on CD ROM includes applications for load control, programming load profiles, recording current limiting profiles, and battery testing. Updates are available online.
Technical Data: The devices offer a 12-bit resolution for input settings and a 13-bit resolution for voltage and current measurements. Dynamic load cycling and programmable load curves are supported.
Options and Accessories: Interface options include RS232 and GPIB. A 19” rack kit is available for different models. The devices comply with electrical safety and EMC standards.
Type Overview: The document provides a detailed type overview with technical data for each model, including continuous and peak power, voltage, current, resistance, dimensions, and terminal types.

Operating Modes: The PL series provides all necessary] functions needed for daily use. The device provides the operating modes Constant Current and Constant Resistance in both the static as well as in dynamic operation. In combination with the RS232 or the GPIB interface, firmware-controlled Constant Power mode is also possible. The manual setting of the load values is provided by two separate 10-turn potentiometers. The load setting can be changed between the values A and B by the use of the Dynamic Operation The built-in modulator controls the switching between the two load levels A and B....
