B&K Precision HVL600300: High Voltage DC Electronic Load

HVL Series

Key Features:

• Power: 6 kW
• Rated Voltage: 600 V
• Rated Current: 300 A
• USB, LAN, RS232 and GIPB
• 5U Rack Space

The HVL Series DC electronic loads are designed for high-performance applications, offering a broad operating voltage range of 600 V (HVL600), 800 V (HVL800), or 1000 V (HVL1000). With a compact yet powerful design, they provide up to 3 kW in a 3U form factor and 6 kW in a 5U form factor, delivering impressive power density. Ideal for ATE system applications, the HVL Series supports a variety of dynamic loading conditions, making it suitable for evaluating DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, photovoltaic arrays, and other high-power DC sources.

In addition to CC/CV/CR/CW operating modes, the HVL Series features continuous, pulse, and toggle transient operations to precisely switch between two load levels. Advanced list mode programming makes it easy to set up and execute complex load sequences from the front panel. For applications requiring more power, up to 10 identical HVL Series models can be combined in parallel to increase total sink capabilities to 60 kW.

Operating software provides remote instrument control and monitoring from a PC. Separate battery test software simplifies battery discharge testing with data logging. Built-in remote PC interfaces include USB (USBTMC-compliant), LAN, RS232, and GPIB supporting SCPI commands. The front panel USB host port enables data logging directly to a connected flash drive.

Special Applications

The HVL Series wide operating voltage range and high power capabilities make it a comprehensive solution for electric vehicle (EV) batteries, on-board EV charger, and charging station test applications.
