Overview
About PEL-3000A Series
The PEL-3000A Series is a programmable DC electronic load supporting seven operating modes including CC, CV, CR, CP, and combined modes (CC+CV, RC+CV, PC+CV). With a maximum slew rate of 16A/us and dynamic switching from 0.016 Hz to 20 kHz, this series handles demanding transient response testing. The PEL-3000AH variant extends the voltage range to 800V for high-voltage applications, while the PEL-3000AE provides an entry-level option with essential features.

The run program function with Go/NoGo judgment enables production-line pass/fail testing with programmable criteria. Adjustable OCP, OPV, and OPP settings protect the device under test, while parallel operation scales capacity up to 9.45 kW for high-power applications.
Engineers working on switch-mode power supplies, DC-DC converters, battery management systems, and renewable energy inverters use the PEL-3000A for load regulation testing, transient response characterization, and automated production verification across a wide voltage range.
