ZS, ZSLC, ZSLV Electronic DC Loads

Product catalog summary
Specifications:
The ZS series electronic loads are designed for various applications including laboratory, manufacturing, and quality control. They offer power ranges from 500W to 28,800W, with voltage classes of 60V, 120V, 300V, 600V, and 800V, and current capabilities up to 2,700A. The devices support multiple operating modes: Constant Current (CC), Constant Resistance (CR), Constant Voltage (CV), and Constant Power (CP). Cooling options include air-cooled and liquid-cooled systems.
Features:
The ZS series includes a standard analog interface with an optional fully isolated version. Devices can be connected in parallel (up to 3 devices) for Master-Slave operation. Data interfaces available include RS232, GPIB, USB, and Smart-LAN. The devices are housed in robust 19” rack mounts and can be used as bench units. They are equipped with retractable handles and optional castors for mobility.
Applications:
The ZS series is suitable for testing power supplies, generators, batteries, fuel cells, protection devices, battery chargers, and uninterruptible power supplies. It is also used for load simulation, dynamic tests, and lifetime tests.
Model Overview:
The document provides a detailed model overview, listing various power models across different voltage and current specifications. Special ranges can be configured to match specific requirements, including reduced voltage ranges for low-voltage applications.
Operating Modes and Control:
The devices support dynamic operation with adjustable controlling speeds and trigger voltage settings. Remote control is possible via analog I/O connectors, and analog control can be preset with specific voltage ranges.
Safety and Interfaces:
Safety features include touch protection covers for input terminals. Interfaces are modular and can be upgraded or exchanged as needed, with options for RS232, USB, GPIB, and system interfaces for multi-channel systems.
Hardware Extensions:
Optional hardware extensions include galvanically isolated analog interfaces, power I/O boards, castors for mobility, and zero-volt options for extended operating ranges. A temperature interface board and factory calibration certificates are also available.
Programming Functions:
The devices support SCPI programming with 16-bit resolution for settings and measurements. A data acquisition tool is available for quick data acquisition, simulation of exponential inrush currents, capacity measurement of batteries, and MPP tracking for solar panels.
Technical Specifications:
The electronic load measures ampere-hours (Ah) and watt-hours (Wh) and can record discharge curves with simultaneous activation of the measuring function. It features a fast 13-bit AD converter for simultaneous voltage and current measurement, with a reading rate of approximately 300ms for voltage and current. The memory can store up to 2000 voltage/current values with timestamps, and the data acquisition is synchronized with the programmed waveform.
Load Profile Generator:
The generator supports up to 50 steps with pulse durations ranging from 200μs to 2000s and ramp times from 0 to 2000s. It allows for single, n-times, or continuous repetition rates and includes programmable waveform and dynamic load variations.
Software Tools:
Includes load control for single and multi-channel systems, data acquisition with graphic display, and a waveform editor for generating load profiles. The basic communication tool allows sending SCPI commands, and MPP tracking is available for solar panel testing.
Accessories:
High current cables are available in standard and low inductance versions, with various lengths and diameters. 19" racks are designed for mounting electronic loads with adequate air outlets. Several main switch options are available for rack assembly, including single-phase and three-phase configurations.
Technical Data:
Various models are specified with different voltage, current, and power settings. Continuous power ranges from 500W to 9600W, with short-time power capabilities. Rise and fall times are specified for each model, and load terminals vary depending on the model.
Technical Specifications:
Subject to technical modifications, the document outlines the specifications for Hoecherl & Hackl GmbH's equipment. Key specifications include voltage of 500V with option ZS06, except for Zero-Volt-Option, full current from approximately 1V with linear derating below 1V, input impedance greater than 50kΩ for deactivated load input, input capacitance of approximately 2μF per 1,000W, and operating temperature from 5°C to 40°C.
External Control Functions:
Includes load switching, trigger input and output, range and mode switching, and emergency shutdown.
Protection Equipment:
Features current and power limitation, over-voltage protection up to 110% of rated voltage, protection against reverse polarity up to rated current (diode), over-temperature deactivation, and transient protection.
Additional Features:
Parallel operation up to 3 devices in master-slave operation (hardware-controlled), infinitely variable controlled fans and liquid cooling depending on the model, noise and dimensions refer to type overview and table on page 22, and mains supply of 115/230V ±10%, 50 to 60Hz.
Standards and Compliance:
Electric safety according to DIN EN 61010-1, EMC, CE-Mark according to DIN EN 61326-1, DIN EN 61000-3-2, DIN EN 61000-3-3.
