63718-1200-40

Regenerative Electronic Load with a High Power Density Within a Compact 3U Form Factor - 1200V/40A/18kW

The Chroma 63718-1200-40 Regenerative DC Electronic Load is suitable for product reliability testing in various applications, including electric vehicle (EV) battery discharge, fuel cell discharge, high-power power supply ageing, DC EV supply equipment (EVSE), unidirectional on-board chargers (OBC), fuel cell systems, energy storage systems (ESS), AC/DC and DC/DC power supply burn-in tests, and various power electronics applications.

The 63700 Series offers high power density within a compact 3U form factor, with power ratings reaching up to 18kW per unit and currents of up to 540A. Users can parallel up to 10 units* for a maximum power of 180kW and a maximum current of 1,200A. Voltage options include 100V, 600V, 1,200V, and 1,800V.

The Chroma 63718-1200-40 comes equipped with external signal control functionality*, allowing for the simulation of real current waveforms. Master/slave control enables parallel operation of identical 63700 series units for synchronised dynamic loading.

The system can store up to 256 programmable sequences*, which can be loaded at any time, reducing test duration and increasing throughput during automated testing.

Regarding measurement capabilities, the 63700 Series can perform real-time and precise voltage and current measurements.

With the TFT touch display and rotary knob on the front panel, the 63700 Series offers convenient operation and setup. These units can also be controlled via LAN, USB, GPIB, or CAN.
