Versatile & Economical DC Electronic
Loads
The 8500 series Programmable DC Electronic
Loads can be used for testing and evaluating a
variety of DC power sources. Their wide oper-
ating ranges of up to 500 V and 240 A, flexible
operating modes and excellent measurement
accuracy make the 8500 series well suited for
characterizing DC Power supplies, DC-DC
Converters, batteries, fuel cells and solar cells.
The loads can operate in CC, CV, CR or CP
mode while voltage/current or resistance/power
values are measured and displayed in real time.
Load terminals are isolated and floating.
Extensive protection, including over tempera-
ture, over power, over voltage, over current and
reverse polarity will help protect your valuable
prototype.
The DC loads are easy to use. All parameters
can be set quickly and precisely from the front
panel, or programmed via RS232 or USB inter-
faces.
The 8500 family offers 10 models with a wide range of ratings

When selecting a DC load, it is important to
consider not only voltage and current
requirements, but also power ratings. The power
used when testing must fall within the hatched
region for the appropriate DC load.
Some applications may require high voltage/low
current and low voltage/high current which a
single load may not be able to handle. B&K
Precision’s broad range of DC loads will allow
you to select the optimal model for your
requirements.
