Agilent dc Electronic Loads

Agilent dc electronic loads are ideal for the test and evaluation of

dc power sources and power components and are well-suited for

applications in areas such as manufacturing, research and devel-

opment, and incoming inspection.

The Agilent One-Box Solution

Agilent single-input loads and load mainframes are equipped with

standard GPIB interfaces. This built-in IEEE-488 interface allows

complete control of all load functions as well as readback of input

voltage, current, power, and detailed operating status. Each stand

alone load or load module also includes programming inputs that

allow control of load current via an analog voltage. Other system

features contributing to the one-box solution concept are internal

voltage and current monitors and an internal transient generator

with programmable amplitudes, frequency, duty cycle, and slew

rate. The one-box solution saves space, cost, and time while

making these dc electronic loads easy to integrate into automated

test systems.

Agilent dc electronic loads are optimized to address a broad

range of dynamic loading applications. They are specifically

designed for stability in applications where fast transients are

applied to the load inputs, such as during dc power supply startup

characterization or transient response testing. Dynamic load per-

formance can be further tailored to specific application needs with

the programmable slew rate feature.

Fully-Compatible Operation

These dc electronic loads respond to instructions from the

industry-standard SCPI command set. Moreover, the features of

these dc electronic loads are fully compatible with one another.

For example, test programs developed for 6060B 300 W single-

input electronic load or 60502B 300 W single-input load module

are interchangeable.

The dc electronic load family is also fully compatible with the

59510A relay accessory (see page 33). The 59510A provides physi-

cal isolation of the dc electronic load from the device under test or

any other test instrument by switching power and sense leads.

Capable of switching up to 60 A and 200 Vdc, the 59510A

can be controlled by rear-panel signals on the electronic load.

Battery Testing

The 6050A Option J10, 6051A Option J10 and 6060B Option J10

electronic loads are modified for battery testing. These products

provide tri-level pulse loading, to simulate accurate conditions on

batteries. They also feature a programmable minimum battery

voltage threshold (measured at load terminal). If the voltage of the

battery under test falls below this threshold, the load will automat-

ically turn off.
