PEL-5000G Series

The GW Instek PEL-5000G Series is a high power programmable DC electronic load engineered for demanding power-electronics and battery validation. Each single-channel module sinks 4 kW, 5 kW or 6 kW across three voltage families, 150 V, 600 V and 1200 V: and Turbo Mode pushes current and power to 1.5x the rated value for up to a 2-second period, so a 6 kW / 600 A module reaches 9 kW / 900 A for transient and peak-load testing without a permanently oversized load.

A high power DC electronic load: 4 kW to 6 kW per module

The PEL-5000G is a high power DC electronic load built for full-power validation of power supplies, rectifiers, EV battery packs, DC fast chargers and renewable-energy inverters. Each module provides a continuous 4 kW, 5 kW or 6 kW with minimum operating voltages as low as 0.7 V at 400 A on the 150 V models, 10 V on the 600 V models and 15 V on the 1200 V models, letting you load low-voltage, high-current sources realistically. Eight modules of the same voltage family combine in master-slave parallel operation (1 master + 7 slaves) for as much as 48 kW, and you can mix per-module power ratings to match the power profile of the device under test.

Programmable DC load with Turbo Mode, Surge and BMS test modes

As a programmable DC load, the PEL-5000G runs the full set of operating modes, CC, CR, CV, CP, CV + Current Limit, CV + Power Limit, Dynamic and short-circuit: under front-panel or remote control, with a maximum dynamic-mode slew rate of 24 A/µs on the 6 kW models (20 A/µs on 5 kW, 16 A/µs on 4 kW). Turbo Mode delivers 1.5x current and power for up to a 2-second period, supporting the Surge, BMS and Short / OCP / OPP functions, while the Surge Test Mode simulates capacitive inrush (surge current up to 900 A, surge time 10–2000 ms) so you can verify power-supply start-up under worst-case loading. A unique strength for a high power load is CV-mode parallel operation: where most loads restrict paralleling to CC, CR and CP, the PEL-5000G also parallels in CV mode. A dedicated BMS test mode exercises battery-management-board short, over-charge and over-discharge protection, and the programmable SEQ load steps current or power with microsecond-class timing for fast transient profiles.

High power DC load for EV battery, charger and inverter validation

For high-voltage work, the 1200 V models are a standout 1200 V electronic load and high power DC load: they deliver full rated power up to 1000 V and 60% power output at 1200 V: better than the typical 50% derating of comparable loads, which gives EV battery, DC fast-charger and high-voltage inverter teams more usable power at the top of the range. The 600 V and 1200 V models carry a built-in slow-starter (soft-start) circuit that protects both the load and the device under test at power-up and removes manual ramp-up setup. Built-in battery-discharge modes (CC, CP, CV + Current Limit, CV + Power Limit) stop on programmable cut-off by voltage, time, Ah or Wh, and automated OCP and OPP test functions plus 150 sets of parameter storage speed up repeatable production sequences. A large LCD shows 5-digit V / A / W readings simultaneously, with voltage readback accuracy of ±0.025% and current readback of ±0.05% of (reading + range).

The PEL-5000G model lineup

The series has nine models: three power ratings across each of the three voltage families. Within a voltage family the modules differ in power and rated current; Turbo Mode raises current and power by 1.5x on every model.

GSAS helps you select the voltage family, per-module power and number of paralleled units that match your DUT’s voltage, peak current and total-power requirement with margin to spare.

Applications

The PEL-5000G’s high power, 1200 V reach, Turbo Mode and dedicated battery/BMS modes make it well suited to:

• EV battery pack and module testing: high-current discharge with cut-off by voltage, time, Ah or Wh, plus BMS protection-board verification, for EV and energy-systems and two-wheeler EV programmes.
• Server, telecom and industrial PSU validation: full-power and peak-transient loading, hold-up time and surge-inrush behaviour.
• DC fast charger and on-board charger testing: high-voltage, high-power sinking up to 1200 V with usable power across the range, including automotive electronics lines.
• Renewable-energy inverter and DC-DC converter validation: dynamic and sequenced loading at module and rack power levels.
• Production test and protection screening: automated OCP / OPP, short-circuit and BMS test functions with parameter storage for repeatable sequences.

For lower-power bench work, the PEL-3000A Series and PEL-2000A Series programmable DC electronic loads cover up to a few kW per chassis. To complete a battery or charger test bench, the ASR-6500 and PSB-2000 Series bidirectional sources pair naturally with the PEL-5000G for source-and-sink validation. GSAS helps you size the right combination of DC electronic loads and programmable supplies for your power level.
