Kikusui's PLZ4W Series DC Electronic Loads feature faster rise/fall times with variable slew rates for transient testing on high speed DC/DC convertors, DC power supplies, Batteries and Fuel Cells.

The PLZ4W Electronic Load is available in 165, 330 and 1000 watt versions. For higher powers upto 5 units may be connected in parallel or a 2000 watt booster (PLZ2004B) can be used with the PLZ1004W giving a max of 9kW (1 x PLZ1004W + 4 x PLZ2004B).PLZ4WA has 0V input even at maximum rated current enabling testing of single cell fuel cells and is available in 165 watt and 660 watt versions.

Test modes are constant current, constant resistance, constant voltage, constant power, or a combination of these modes. Current setting resolution can be as low as 10uA. Sequence function permits 10 sequence patterns to be saved in the built in memory. Battery cell discharge times from load on to load off can be measured. Other functions include soft start, short, ABC memory, set up memory, switching. PLZ4W has GPIB (SCPI compatible), RS232c and USB as standard.
