GW Instek PEL-3032AE Programmable Electronic Load

Overview

The GW Instek PEL-3032AE is a single-channel programmable electronic load providing 300W (1V–500V, 15A) current sink capability. It features an easy-to-read LCD panel and user-friendly interface, making it ideal for testing electronic components, batteries, portable chargers, and power products that require low to medium power consumption, with operation starting from 60mA.

The PEL-3032AE offers seven operating modes: constant current, constant voltage, constant resistance, and constant power, plus three combined modes (CC+CV, CR+CV, CP+CV). It includes Static, Dynamic, and Sequence modes for flexible testing, with Normal Sequence supporting up to 1000 steps and Fast Sequence offering 25µs time resolution.
