1 .2 Product
Overview
The PLZ-U Series Electronic
Load Unit is a compact,
high-performance, multi-
channel
electronic load unit that has
three operation modes: constant
current, con-
stant
resistance, and constant
voltage.
The PLZ-U
consists of a frame and
load units. Load units are inserted
into
the
frame
(control
section) for operation. The
PLZ-30F and PLZ-50F Frames
can accommo-
date up to 3
channels and 5 channels of
load units, respectively.
The current capacity
or power capacity can be
increased through
a
parallel
opera-
tion
of load units.
The load units can be
combined
to
produce a power
capacity from
75 W
to
750 W (when five PLZ150Us
are installed into the PLZ-50F).
In addition to
high-speed response and
highly precise preset
resolution,
various
functions are
provided including the soft
start function,
variable slew rates, switch-
ing function, ABC preset
memories, four setup
memories, and
sequence function.
Because the PLZ-U comes
standard with GPIB and RS-232C
communication func-
tions,
it
can easily be
incorporated into various test
and inspection systems.
The
communication
functions are
useful for testing batteries,
DC/DC converters,
switching power
supplies, and
multi-output power supplies.
