Benefits of modular DC electronic load systems

Modular DC electronic load systems provide multiple load channels for testing multi-output devices such as power supplies, DC-DC converters, chargers and batteries. The following are common reasons to use a modular load over a standalone single-input load.

Flexibility
Although a single-channel load may meet the testing requirements for a product under development, multiple loads are often required for production quantities. The modular design allows for easy reconfiguration and multi-channel expansion depending on your application and future test requirements.

Increased Throughput
A modular DC electronic load system connects multiple load modules in parallel to perform measurements on several outputs simultaneously. This saves time compared to testing multiple outputs sequentially with a single-input load.

Simplified Control
On a modular DC electronic load system, multiple channels can be operated from a single mainframe controller. This eliminates the need to duplicate power supplies, chassis, and remote interfaces on an equivalent standalone system. Users can also synchronously control the inputs and program multiple channel sequences from a single instrument.
