Manatronics PT04-FC 3 kW electronic load for fuel cell and power supply testing

The PT04-FC electronic load has been developed to accommodate testing of both fuel cells and low-voltage power supplies, including 24 V telecommunications power systems or power supplies. It is also useful as a general-purpose variable load.

The load is continuously rated to operate fully over the specified current and voltage ranges. The standard model gives constant current control, with a differential 0–5 V input for simple control systems, or can be paralleled for use in large systems.

The product includes constant power, resistance and voltage modes, as well as full ATE/remote control. The D9 connector on the rear panel provides access to the analog demand input, as well as all logic controllable functions and status lines.

Other features include: a simple, rugged and robust design; selectable range, with current control from 0 to 120 A on 24 V range or from 0 to 60 A on 48 V range; a 2.88 kW plus rating (at 40°C ambient); ultralow electrical noise; temperature-controlled quiet fans; and a 19″, 4U rack case.
