HVL Series B&K Precision DC Electronic LoadsHVL Series

The HVL Series DC Electronic Loads are designed for high-voltage and high-power testing applications, offering a wide operating voltage range up to 1000 V and high power density of up to 6 kW in a 5U form factor. These loads are ideal for evaluating DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, photovoltaic arrays, and other high-power DC sources. The HVL Series supports continuous, pulse, and toggle transient operations, with transient speeds up to 10 kHz in CC mode. For scalability, up to 10 identical units can be combined in parallel to achieve total sink capabilities of up to 60 kW.
Key Features:

High Power Density: Up to 6 kW in a compact 5U form factor for space-efficient applications.
Wide Voltage Range: Operating voltage up to 1000 V, making it suitable for high-power systems.
Operating Modes: Supports Constant Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), Constant Resistance (CR), and Constant Power (CW) operating modes.
Transient Operation: Offers continuous, pulse, and toggle transient modes with speeds up to 10 kHz in CC mode.
Parallel Operation: Combine up to 10 units for a total power sink capacity of 60 kW.
List Mode Programming: Advanced programming for dynamic and automated testing sequences.
Adjustable Loop Response: Fine-tune the response speed to match the dynamic load requirements.
Thermostatically-Controlled Fans: Ensures quiet operation with temperature-dependent fan speeds.
Adjustable Slew Rates: Control voltage and current ramp-up and ramp-down rates for precision testing.
Comprehensive Protections: Includes OVP (Over Voltage Protection), OCP (Over Current Protection), OPP (Over Power Protection), reverse voltage, oscillation protection, and key-lock protection for enhanced safety.
Connectivity: Standard USB (USBTMC-compliant), LAN, RS232, and GPIB interfaces for remote control and automation.
Software & Drivers: Includes LabVIEW drivers, operating software, and dedicated battery test software for seamless integration.
Safety Certification: cTUVus certified for safety compliance.
