Compact Single DC Load Mainframe for Benchtop

63600-1 mainframe allows for a space saving, lower cost electronic load for portable benchtop testing

June 26th, 2009

Lake Forest, CA, June 26, 2009: Chroma’s new 63600 Series DC electronic loads are now available for use in a single mainframe. The 63600-1 mainframe allows for a space saving, lower cost electronic load for portable benchtop testing. Three load modules are available for the mainframe: 100W x 2(Dual), 300W, and 400W maximum power with three current ranges per load. The system I/O port on the rear panel of the 63600-1 mainframe is a 15-pin connector (D-SUB 15pin male connector). It includes 0-10VDC analog signals to monitor voltage and current, external analog signal input and TTL compatible digital I/O signals.

The 63600’s state of the art design uses DSP technology to simulate non-linear loads using a unique Constant Impedance (CZ) operation mode allowing realistic loading behavior. The 63600 series can draw its full rated current to almost zero volts ensuring the best loading performance for modern point-of-load devices.

Chroma’s 63600 Series DC electronic loads are designed for testing multi-output AC/DC power supplies, DC/DC converters, chargers, batteries, adapters, and power electronic components and devices of all types. In use by small and large companies around the world, these loads are intended for use in all aspects of the product life cycle including R&D, production, quality control, incoming inspection, vendor screening and design verification testing.
