About the 8540
The B&K Precision 8540 DC electronic load (60V/30A/150W)
can sink DC current in constant current, constant voltage, and
constant resistance modes. Measured values have 10 mV and 1
mA resolution. Shorts can be simulated. Storage is provided for up
to *40 groups, with 4 instrument setups per group. The instrument is
easy to use and will find many uses for testing DC power supplies,
batteries, and DC to DC converters.
Full digital control
1mV /1mA measurement resolution
Compact size
Bright, readable LED display
Operating modes: CC/CV/CR
Input on/off control
High reliability due to OCP/OVP (over
current, over voltage) protection
Storage for *40 groups, 4 setups
each
Easy operation
Features
Constant Resistance (CR) mode
In CR mode, the DC
load will sink a current
linearly proportional to
the voltage at the
terminals.

Constant Voltage (CV) mode
In CV mode, the DC
load will draw enough
current to keep the
voltage at the
terminals constant.
*40 groups are applicable for units with firmware
version 1.60 or above. For versions below 1.60, 100
groups are available. Go to “Verify firmware” section
to determine your instrument version.
