PEL-5000C Series

The GW Instek PEL-5000C Series is a high-power compact programmable DC electronic load built for high-current, high-voltage validation of power supplies, EV chargers, EV batteries and renewable-energy sources. A single unit covers a power range of 6 kW to 24 kW in 150 V, 600 V and 1200 V voltage classes, and up to 8 units run in master/slave parallel to deliver a maximum system power of 192 kW: so the same platform scales from a single high-power bench load to a full 192 kW electronic load test bay. GW Instek’s official application statement is direct: the PEL-5000C “can test and verify the specifications of batteries, electric vehicle chargers/charging stations, electric vehicle batteries and solar panels.”

As the authorized GW Instek engineering partner in India, GSAS Micro Systems positions the PEL-5000C as the high power DC load India battery, charging-station and renewable-energy teams reach for when ordinary benchtop loads run out of headroom.

The family spans 24 models (PEL-5006C through PEL-5024C) and supports flexible CC, CR, CV, CP, CC+CV (CV with current limit), CV+CP (CV with power limit), dynamic and short-circuit operating modes, with a 5-digit voltage, current and power meter and a large LCD for at-a-glance readout.

A high-power programmable DC electronic load: 6kW to 24kW per unit

The PEL-5000C is a programmable DC load designed where ordinary benchtop loads run out of headroom. Each unit handles 6 kW to 24 kW and is offered in 150 V, 600 V and 1200 V models so engineers can match the voltage class to the source under test, low-voltage high-current rails on the 150 V models, and high-voltage DC-bus, inverter and PFC stages on the 600 V and 1200 V models. With up to 8 units in master/slave parallel control reaching 192 kW, the series covers everything from a single power-supply line to large EV-battery and charger test stations on one common control platform.

Electronic load operating modes: CC, CR, CV, CP and dynamic

The PEL-5000C provides the full set of constant-mode operations expected of a professional electronic load: constant current (CC), constant resistance (CR), constant voltage (CV) and constant power (CP), plus combination modes CC+CV (CV with current limit) and CV+CP (CV with power limit), a dynamic mode for transient/step-load testing with adjustable rising and falling slew rate, and a short-circuit mode with settable short-circuit time. The instrument can also automatically perform OCP and OPP tests, run an inrush-current test mode, store up to 150 parameter sets, set the power-on state value and display voltage polarity as ”+” or ”−”: and it supports solar-panel MPPT testing, making it a single tool for source characterisation, protection verification and renewable-energy work.

Battery discharge test modes: EV, charger and energy-storage validation

For energy-storage work the PEL-5000C includes four dedicated battery discharge test modes, CC+CV, CP+CV, CC+UVP and CP+UVP: alongside time-period discharge, pulse discharge and RAMP discharge with adjustable slew rate. Engineers can set a fixed discharge time, discharge in pulsed-current mode, or ramp the load to profile real-world behaviour, with under-voltage-protection (UVP) cut-off to stop the test safely. This makes the PEL-5000C well suited to verifying the specifications of EV batteries, electric-vehicle chargers and charging stations, and grid/storage cells.

EV charger test load, battery test electronic load and MPPT test load in one platform

For India’s fast-growing EV and renewable-energy programmes, the PEL-5000C consolidates three high-power test roles into a single instrument. As an EV charger test load it loads DC fast chargers and charging stations across the 150 V, 600 V and 1200 V classes to verify output regulation, droop and protection at full rated power. As a battery test electronic load it discharges EV battery packs and energy-storage cells in CC/CP with CV or under-voltage cut-off, including pulse and RAMP profiles, to characterise real cycle behaviour. And as an MPPT test load it runs GW Instek’s solar-panel MPPT test mode to exercise photovoltaic panels and validate maximum-power-point tracking. These capabilities map directly onto GSAS’s EV & energy systems solutions, where high-power DC loading underpins battery, charger and solar validation. Note that the PEL-5000C is a high-power dissipative DC load; teams that require a regenerative (energy-recycling) load, for example AC source/UPS work, should look at the GW Instek AEL-5000 AC & DC electronic load, which GSAS supplies alongside the PEL-5000C.

PEL-5000C series specifications

Specific slew-rate, CR-range and minimum-operating-voltage figures vary by model; GSAS can supply the exact specification table for the configuration you select.

PEL-5000C model lineup

The series steps through 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20 and 24 kW in each voltage class for 24 models in total. Current rating scales with voltage class and power, and the 600 V and 1200 V models add PFC-test capability. GSAS helps you pick the voltage class and power rating that match your source, with margin for parallel expansion. For module-and-mainframe flexibility in mixed channel-count benches, GSAS also supplies the modular GW Instek PEL-5000G electronic load from the same high-power family.

Applications

The PEL-5000C’s high power, wide voltage range and dedicated test modes make it well suited to:

• EV battery and battery-pack discharge testing: CC/CP discharge with UVP cut-off and pulse/RAMP profiles for realistic cycle evaluation.
• EV charger and charging-station validation: high-power, high-voltage loading to verify charger output and protection behaviour.
• High-power DC power-supply and converter testing: load regulation, transient response and efficiency across CC/CV/CR/CP modes.
• Solar / renewable-energy characterisation: MPPT testing and I-V loading of PV strings and DC sources.
• Protection and PFC verification: automatic OCP/OPP tests and PFC testing on the 600 V and 1200 V models.
• Production load test stations: parallel expansion to 192 kW with optional GPIB/RS-232/USB/LAN for automated test systems.

The PEL-5000C supports engineering and manufacturing teams across power electronics and EV, renewable energy, battery and energy storage, and electronics test and measurement where high-power, high-voltage DC loading and battery-discharge profiling are required.
