The BK Precision BK-8500 Programmable DC Electronic Load is an affordable, laboratory-grade load, well suited for testing and evaluating a wide range of DC power sources.
The DC electronic load can operate in CC, CV, CR or CP mode while voltage/current or resistance/power values are measured and displayed in real time and are fully programmable via an RS232 or a USB interface.
Over-temperature, over-power, over-voltage, over-current and reverse polarity protection help to protect your valuable prototypes and circuits. Flexible operating modes and excellent measurement accuracy makes this DC electronic load a great choice for characterising DC Power supplies, DC-DC Converters, batteries, fuel cells and solar cells.
