The PEL-2004A and PEL-2002A are multiple channel, programmable DC electronic
loads with a modularized structure.
The PEL-2000A Series includes two types of mainframes and 4 types of load modules
to accommodate users' requirements in a flexible manner. Any load module combination
can be used with a mainframe to tailor a test system based on the number of channels,
the maximum load power, voltage, and current of each channel. Multiple loads
can be connected in parallel to provide a higher-power load. This flexibility
significantly reduces the investment needed for future projects that have different
power requirements.
The PEL-2004A is a 4-slot mainframe with a master control unit to hold 4 load
modules, while PEL-2002A is a 2-slot mainframe with master control unit to hold
2 load modules. When the PEL-2004A is configured with 4 load modules rated at
350W each, the PEL-2002A is able to sink up to 1.4kW of power.
For higher load capacities, mainframes can be linked together in parallel with
standard MIL 20-pin connectors. A maximum of 5 mainframes, including one master
and 4 slaves can be chained together to create a total load capacity of 7kW for
high current and high power applications. Using 4 dual channel load modules,
the PEL-2004A is able to test 8 power supply outputs simultaneously.
The Sequence function allows each channel to change its load sink according to
a predefined sequence at a rate of up to 100 s per step. Each sequence is able
to run concurrently under the control of one clock. This is one of the most powerful
features of the PEL-2000A Series as it is able to realistically simulate a multi-output
power supply load. Under Dynamic mode, the load current or load resistance pulses
between two preset levels at a pre-defined speed of up to 25 seconds per step.
This is often used as the standard test procedure to verify the response of a
power supply to quick load changes. Most remarkably, multiple load channels can
be connected in parallel to run Dynamic tests synchronously under a single clock.
This Parallel Dynamic functionality gives the flexibility to perform dynamic
tests for a high-power power supply without the need of another high-power load.
