Chroma 63102A Dual-Channel Programmable DC Electronic Load

Overview

The Chroma 63102A is a dual-channel programmable DC electronic load module for power supply testing and validation. With 20A, 80V, and 100W maximum capacity per channel, it provides flexible operation modes and precise measurement capabilities for both design verification and production testing applications.

Key Features

• Dual-channel configuration: 20A, 80V, or 100W maximum per channel
• Multiple operation modes: constant current (CC), constant resistance (CR), constant power (CP), and constant voltage (CV)
• Dynamic loading capability with speeds up to 20kHz
• Fast slew rate: 0.32mA/s to 10A/s response time
• 16-bit precision voltage and current measurement with dual-range
• Remote sensing for accurate measurements without voltage drop errors
• Over-current protection (OCP) testing and detection
• Programmable operation sequences: up to 100 stored configurations
• Digital I/O control for automated test integration
• Comprehensive protection: overvoltage (OV), overcurrent (OC), overpower (OP), overtemperature (OT), and reverse polarity
• Interfaces: USB, GPIB, and RS-232 (mainframe dependent)

Applications

• Power supply design and verification testing
• Load transient response simulation and measurement
• Automated test sequences with programmable configurations
• OCP circuit validation and design verification
• Battery and supercapacitor discharge testing
• Parallel load configuration for higher power applications
