B&K Precision 8602 Programmable DC Electronic Load

Overview

The B&K Precision 8602 is a benchtop programmable DC electronic load designed for testing DC power sources including power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays. With 200W power rating, 0-500V voltage range, and 0-15A current capacity, it delivers precise load simulation in a compact 2U half-rack form factor. The 16-bit measurement system provides high-resolution voltage and current monitoring for accurate test validation.
