BK8612

The BK8612 from B&K Precision is an 8600 series programmable DC electronic load. It provides the performance of modular system DC electronic load in a compact benchtop form factor. With fast transient operation speeds up to 25KHz and high 16bit measurement resolution and accuracy, this DC load can be used for testing and evaluating a variety of DC sources such as DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers and photovoltaic arrays. It can operate in constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR) and constant power (CW) mode. The instrument provides flexible triggering capabilities, analogue current control and monitoring and standard USB (USBTMC-compliant), GPIB or RS-232 serial interfaces for remote communication. It meets EN61010-1:2001, EU Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC and EMC directive 2004/108/EC, EN 61000-3-2:2006, EN 61000-3-3:1995+A1:2001+A2:2005 EN 61000-4-2/-3/-4/-5/-6/-11, EN 61326-1:2006 for electromagnetic compatibility.
