The Rigol DL3041 electronic DC load belongs to the DL3000 series and has a power of up to 450W. The electronic load has 1 channel with an input voltage of 200V and an input current of 70A with a resolution of 0.1mA/0.1mV.
The Rigol DL3000 series is a comprehensive range of programmable loads that offer a lot of functionality and possibilities. There are also several options to connect the electronic load to a PC for extensive logging. The electronic load is fully controllable, and extensive graphs and measurement results can be displayed. The loads have internal memory to store measurement results locally and can store them on a USB drive.
The main difference between the A and non-A versions is that the A version already includes optional ports like LAN and digital I/O. On top of that, the A versions have a higher resolution and a better slew rate. The non-A versions can also be upgraded to have a LAN and digital I/O port. With the digital I/O, you can trigger the load, which can trigger another device like an oscilloscope or other products.
The main differences between the models of the Rigol DL3000 series are shown in the table below.
