Series 2380 programmable DC
electronic loads can sink a wide range
of voltages and currents. The 200W
Model 2380-500-15 can accept up
to 500V or 15A. The 250W Model
2380-120-60 can accept up to 120V
or 60A. The 750W Model 2380- 500
30 can accept up to 500V or 30A.
These single-output, stand-alone
electronic loads are cost-effective and
self-contained.
Multiple Operating Modes
• 200W, 250W, and 750W models
• Supports up to 500V or 60A
• Constant current (CC),constant
voltage (CV), constant resistance
(CR), and constant power (CP)
operating modes
• LED simulated load test mode
• Readback voltage and current
resolution down to 0.1mV/0.01mA
• Dynamic mode with cycle rate up
to 25kHz
• Voltage rise and fall time
measurement
• Current monitor function
• List mode
• Battery test mode
These DC electronic loads can operate
in constant current (CC), constant
voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR),
or constant power (CP) mode. They
can also be configured to provide
a dynamically changing load to the
DC source with load switching times
as fast as 25kHz. Versatile internal, external, and remote triggering options allow
synchronizing the dynamic load behavior with other events.
Comprehensive Protection
Protection functions built into Series 2380 DC electronic loads ensure the reliability
and safety of all tests. These functions include over temperature protection (OTP),
over voltage protection (OVP), over current protection (OCP), over power protection
(OPP), and local/remote reverse voltage (LRV/RRV) protection. A power-on system
self-test ensures the instrument is operating properly.

Full Complement of Settings and Controls
To maximize testing efficiency, you can save test parameters into any one of
100 memory locations for quick recall. All load parameters, such as voltage,
current, slew rate, and dynamic mode time intervals, can be set using the front
panel controls or programmed remotely. A numeric keypad and rotary knob
allow entering settings quickly and setting parameters to their full resolution
easily. USB-TMC, GPIB and RS-232 interfaces are built in for remote control and
communication. A current monitor interface simplifies monitoring input current
waveforms by providing a connection for an oscilloscope.
• Built-in GPIB,USB, and RS-232
interfaces

available resolution.

The voltage/current input is no less than 10% FS (FS indicates the full scale). Accuracy is defined as: % of reading + % of full scale.
The range of read-back resistance is between (1/(1/R + (1/R)*0.01% + 0.08) Ω and 1/(1/R– (1/R)*0.01%–0.08)) Ω.
The voltage/current input is no less than 10% FS.
Ascending/descending slope: 10%–90% current ascending slope from 0 to maximum current.
