result in a 3-phase power system. Most specifications and capabilities are maintained with a usable frequency range up to
600 Hz. Positive or negative DC voltage offsets and individual
phase control are still available."
Fernando said B&K Precision's DC loads are used for testing
and evaluating DC sources including DC power supplies, DC/DC
converters, and batteries. "The latest 8500B Series is uniquely
suited for battery testing applications at a value price point," he
said. "One specific application involves charge/discharge cycle
testing where the primary objective is to determine the usable
battery life. B&K Precision offers battery charge/discharge software to meet this specific battery testing method. The software
combines source capabilities of our 9115 or 9200 Series DC power
supplies with the 8500B Series DC loads to evaluate batteries."
Users can log both charge and discharge
data, create custom test sequences, and
calculate battery capacity using the software, he added.
of power supplies for benchtop applications, adding that the
supplies when rack-mounted make it easy to create large
synchronized networks. The company recently added a 2-kW
model, which can test electronics for 48-V mild hybrid vehicles.
The PLZ-5WH2 is high-voltage (1,000 V) and high-powercapacity (20 kW) load. "Some of the target industries include
battery suppliers, high-voltage UPS suppliers, electric-vehicle
applications, and any other applications that are in the higher
