Caution! The mainframes can only be used in combination with a module and vice versa. B version modules and mainframes are interchangeable with their A version counterparts.
The PEL-2041B is a module and belongs to the GW Instek PEL-2000B series.
The GW Instek PEL-2000B series are high precision programmable DC loads, suitable for various applications. These loads can be connected with multiple parallel loads, which increases the maximum power. This makes the solution scalable.
Unique to these loads is that they work with 2 or 4 modules, which can be inserted into the mainframe. This makes it possible to create a varied device, and it is possible to adjust the loads during use. It should be noted that the PEL-2000B series always needs both a mainframe and a module to work. The mainframes are available in 2- or 4-slot models.
The mainframes can be connected in parallel with up to 5 modules, which means that a maximum power of 7 kW can be reached.
The PEL-2000B models have various operation modes. They can be used in constant current (CC), constant resistance (CR), constant voltage (CV) and constant power (CP) mode. It is also possible to switch on CC+CV, CR+CV and CP+CV modes. This allows the electronic loads to automatically switch between modes when a threshold is exceeded.
The electronic loads can also be programmed. They can vary in 2 ways over time. A static mode, in which they take a value for a longer period of time, or a dynamic mode, in which they switch between two settings.
Electronic loads have to endure high currents and voltages, so they are protected in various ways. With adjustable OCP, OVP, OPP, and UVP safety can be guaranteed. There is also a temperature limit, which automatically switches off the electronic load when it exceeds the temperature limit.
