Functions
1.6 times more load power than conventional models
Four multiple operating modes
Constant Current (CC) Discharge
A set current is discharged. Even if the terminal voltage changes during discharge, a constant current can flow.
Constant Resistance (CR) Discharge
A set resistance is used to discharge. The discharge current value is determined according to the set value by measuring the terminal voltage value.
Constant Power (CP) Discharge
A set power value is used to discharge. If the terminal voltage changes during discharge, a certain amount of power can be consumed according to the change.
Constant Voltage (CV) Discharge
A set voltage value is used to discharge. Even if the terminal current changes during discharge, it can be operated at a constant voltage.
Auto switching between operating modes
With the auto-switching, the operating mode where the load current is minimized is automatically set in response to the set value. The individual function of CC+CV mode, CR+CV mode, and CP+CV mode using the auto-switching remains as it is.
Switching mode
The mode enables to switch periodically between two values.
It is available for CC mode, CR mode, CP mode, and CV mode.
- Slew rate (in CC mode, Range H)
30 A/μs to 1 mA/μs
Setting resolution 1 mA/μs - Frequency
0.1 Hz to 20 kHz Setting resolution 0.1 Hz - Duty cycle
0 to 100% Setting resolution 0.1%
* at 10 V or more and at 100 A or more, with no voltage drop due to wiring
Sequence function
- Current/Voltage/Power/Resistance setting the value of each program
(Available for the mode where the load current is minimized) - Step setting time 10 us to 1000 h
- The setting is available for up to 1,024 steps of 10 programs.
- Repetition frequency: infinite, or 1 time to 10000 times
The sequence function offers a set of step time, amplitude, ramp, and along with the end of the sequence, so you can create programs on the front panel.
VI Curve mode
It is possible to register up to 128 by combining the voltage value with the current one. The mode provides a simulation of loads such as laser diodes and LEDs which have non-linear resistance characteristics.
Short circuit mode
Easily transfers to a low impedance state.
- CC/CP mode: Maximum
- CR mode: Maximum conductance
The function of total current and power calculation
Displays the Elapsed Time of load-on and total current, total power.
Soft start/stop
Allows slow rise/fall of the current at load-on/off. It is desirable to match the ride time on the power supply to reduce the occurrence of the current overshoot.
- Time: 10 μs to 500 ms
- Rising waveform: linear/saturation curve
- Minimum operating voltage: 0.05 V
Timer setting
Available the time settings that automatically turn the load off in a certain period from the load on.
- Setting time: 1 second to 10000 hours
Input/Output of sequence program
Reads and writes sequence programs using USB memory.
Spreadsheet software is available for files in CSV format.
Data logging function
Recoeds the measurement values of current and voltage with USB memory at regular intervals.
- Interval: 0.1 s to 300 s
Parallel operation mode
Up to five EW series electronic loads can be combined to operate as a single device.
The primary unit shows the summed set value and the monitored value.
The power can be increased to 12 kW by combining four boosters with EW150V-2400W.
EW-MS cables or commercially available LAN cables can be used for the connection.
