Electronic Load Devices
Electronic load devices are programmable test instruments that draw current at a set value from a power source to test the source under real operating conditions. They are used to measure the behavior of power supplies, adapters, chargers and DC-DC converters under load, and to see the capacity of batteries by discharging them at a specific current. The category includes the Unit UTL8211+, UTL8212+, UTL8511+, UTL8512B+ and UTL8513 DC electronic loads; the product data includes load voltages of 150 V and 500 V, load currents such as 30 A, 40 A and 120 A, powers such as 150 W, 300 W, 400 W and 600 W, and an RS232 interface. Compare load voltage, load current and total power values that cover the highest voltage, current and power of the source to be tested, the channel count, the dynamic test frequency and the communication interface. DC electronic loads generally operate in constant current, constant voltage, constant resistance and constant power modes; verify the modes the model supports from the manufacturer's data. An electronic load draws energy from the source; it does not replace a laboratory power supply that feeds a circuit.

How to choose Electronic Load Devices
Electronic load devices are programmable test instruments that draw current at a set value from a power source to test the source under real operating conditions. They are used to measure the behavior of power supplies, adapters, chargers and DC-DC converters under load, and to see the capacity of batteries by discharging them at a specific current.
- Identify the measurement or fastening task and the required insulation safety rating.
- Select jaw profile, cross-section range and accessories for the conductor or fastener standard.
- Check CAT voltage category and replacement tip or die availability for field conditions.
