Fast transient loading and standard discharge profiles for UN 38.3, ISO 6469, and IEC 62660 battery module and pack testing up to 2000 Vdc.
True AC load waveform emulation with programmable crest factors (1.4 to 5.0) and power factors (0.0 to 1.0) complying with IEC 62040 and UL 1741 standards.
Military-standard 400 Hz and 800 Hz AC loading alongside high-reliability DC loading for airborne power systems under MIL-STD-704 and DO-160 testing.
Multi-channel DC load mainframes designed for burn-in racks, server power supply qualification, and high-volume production line ATE systems.
Air-cooled electronic loads dissipate absorbed electrical power internally as heat using heat sinks and cooling fans. Regenerative DC loads (such as the 6RL Series) convert absorbed DC power back into synchronized line-frequency AC power, returning up to 95% of the energy to facility grid power. This lowers HVAC cooling load and cuts energy operating expenses for high-power burn-in applications.
Yes. The 3C and 3D Series AC loads offer dynamic crest factor control (1.4 to 5.0) and leading/lagging power factor adjustments (0.0 to 1.0) to accurately emulate real-world rectified AC load profiles, motor startup surges, and complex reactive utility conditions.
Every Adaptive Power Systems instrument is calibrated and quality-checked at our ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility prior to shipment, complete with factory calibration records traceable to NIST international measurement standards.
