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. They are excellent for research, development, production, and incoming inspection applications. The 63600's state of the art design uses DSP technology to simulate non-linear loads using a unique CZ operation mode allowing realistic loading behavior. The 63600 series can draw its rated current under very low voltage, guaranteeing the best loading performance for modern Point-of-Load conditions and fuel cells. The 63600 series can simulate a wide range of dynamic loading applications, with programmable load levels, slew rates, duration, and conducting voltage. The 63600 also has a dynamic sweep function to meet testing requirements.
The Chroma 63600 Series programmable DC electronic loads offer versatile front‑panel operation with a VFD display, rotary knob, and remote control via Ethernet, USB, or GPIB. They support multiple operation modes such as constant current, constant voltage, constant resistance, constant power, and dynamic sweep, making them suitable for testing power supplies, chargers, batteries, and other electronic devices.
The manual details the hardware specifications, protection features, and interface options, including USB, optional Ethernet, and optional GPIB. It also lists dimensions, weight, environmental limits, and configuration options for single‑module up to five‑module mainframes.
