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.

| PEL-3031A | 0-150V | 175W | 16A/us | General-purpose loading |
| PEL-3041A | 0-150V | 150W | 16A/us | Mid-power validation |
| PEL-3041AH | 0-800V | High voltage | 16A/us | EV, solar, HV testing |
| PEL-3031AE | 0-150V | 100-500W | Entry-level | Cost-effective loading |
| PEL-3032AE | 0-500V | 100-500W | Entry-level | Mid-voltage entry-level |
| Feature | PEL-3000A / AH | PEL-3000AE |
|---|---|---|
| Operating Modes | 7 modes | 7 modes |
| Go/NoGo Testing | Yes | Not available |
| Normal Sequence Steps | Run program | Up to 1100 steps |
| Fast Sequence Steps | N/A | Up to 1000 steps |
| GPIB | Optional | Not available |
| USB / RS-232 / RS-485 / LAN | Yes | Yes |
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.

GW Instek Insights
Emulating Processor Power for Thermal Testing: Why Constant Power
A heat sink or a cold plate is qualified against a watt figure, not a volt figure. This application note explains why a thermal load is driven in constant-power mode, how the bench is built for air and for liquid cooling, and what to confirm before you buy.
CRPS and Rack Power Supply Testing: The Six Tests That Matter
A CRPS module has to hold up under an unbalanced grid, a 0 to 100 percent load step, a surge on the line and a redundancy handover. This application note sets out the six tests, and the one source capability that makes a long feeder reproducible on the bench.
GPU Power Board Testing: DC Input Verification Before Integration
A GPU power delivery board is cheap to reject on a bench and expensive to find in an assembled server. This application note covers the programmable DC input test that screens the board, and the same test applied to incoming server systems.
