PLZ-5W User’s Manual 3
The PLZ-5W Series Electronic Load is a multifunctional
system designed to offer the highest levels of reliability
and safety. The electronic load contains a stable and high-
performance current control circuit that enables high-
speed load simulations. Designed to allow high-precision
current setting, it provides outstanding resolution.
Because the electronic load comes standard with
RS232C, USB, and LAN communication functions, it can
easily be incorporated into a wide range of inspection sys-
tems.
PLZ-5W series lineup
Features
In addition to basic constant current, constant resistance,
constant voltage, and constant power modes, the PLZ-5W
Series offers a variety of other functions. The PLZ-5W
series also provides better performance than previous
models.
High-speed response
The rise time has been improved from 10 µs to 5 µs.
Expanded voltage range
The minimum operating voltage has been improved
from 1.5 V to 1.0 V, offering support of low voltage input.
Arbitrary I-V characteristics mode
Arbitrary I-V characteristics mode that allows current to
be set arbitrarily in relation to voltage input. This mode
can be used for simulation of LED loads and the like.
Color liquid crystal display (LCD)
Allows easy-to-see display in color. The voltage value,
current value, power value, current capacity value (Ah),
and power capacity value (Wh) at the load input terminal
are indicated on the display.
Increased power capacity and current capacity
Power capacity and current capacity 1.2 times those of
previous models have been realized while keeping the
size unchanged.
Larger capacity achievable
Larger capacity can be achieved by connecting optional
boosters (PLZ2405WB) to the PLZ1205W. Up to four
booster units can be operated in parallel using a
PLZ1205W unit as the master unit (up to 10.8 kW,
2160 A).
Support of synchronized operation
Load on/off control and the execution of sequences can
be synchronized for multiple PLZ-5W units.
