BK Precision 8500 300W Programmable DC Electronic Load
The affordable, laboratory grade model 8500 Programmable DC Electronic Load is well suited for testing and evaluating a wide variety of DC power sources. This 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 is fully programmable via RS232 or optional USB interface.
Extensive protection, including over temperature, over power, over voltage, over current and reverse polarity will help protect your valuable prototype. Its flexible operating modes and excellent measurement accuracy make this DC electronic load a great choice for characterizing DC Power supplies, DC-DC Converters, batteries, fuel cells and solar cells.

Description
BK Precision 8500
The BK Precision 8500 series Programmable DC Electronic Loads can be used for testing and evaluating a variety of DC power sources. Their wide operating ranges of up to 500 V and 240 A, flexible operating modes and excellent measurement accuracy make the BK Precision 8500 series well suited for characterizing DC Power supplies, DC-DC
Converters, batteries, fuel cells and solar cells.
The loads can operate in CC, CV, CR or CP mode while voltage/current or resistance/power values are measured and displayed in real time.
Load terminals are isolated and floating.
Extensive protection, including over temperature, over power, over voltage, over current and reverse polarity will help protect your valuable prototype.
The DC loads are easy to use. All parameters can be set quickly and precisely from the front panel, or programmed via RS232 (included) or USB (optional) interfaces. Features
■ Constant current (CC), resistance (CR), voltage
(CV) and power (CP) operation
■ Wide voltage and current range, 0 to 500 V, 0
to 240 A (5000 W max)
■ Low minimum operating voltage of < 0.1 V
and minimum input resistance of 5 mΩ (model
8518) allowing the load to sink high current at
low voltages, required for fuel and solar cell
applications
■ Selected models operate up to 500 V, suitable
for high voltage applications
■ Built-in transient generator
■ Short circuit test
