KIKUSUI Multifunctional Electronic Load (CC/CV/CR/CP) PLZ-5WH2 Series

Ideal for high capacity power supply and rechargeable battery evaluation!

The PLZ-5WH2 high-power DC electronic load series is where durable, reliable ingenuity meets multifunctional, high-power design.Providing 5 variety of power range line-ups, from a 1 kW benchtop style model, to a high-power model that can sink up to 20 kW of power in a single unit.

You can easily select the applicable power range according to the load. Load simulation can be achieved faster than ever before thanks to the reliable, high-speed design of the PLZ-5WH2 current control circuits. Accurate current measures can be made with extremely high-setting resolution. A color LCD display allows for highly visible, user-friendly front-panel operation. RS232C, USB, and LAN digital inter faces are included as standard for simple integration into any system.
