The Amrel PEL60 is a programmable DC electronic load designed for testing and evaluating power sources across benchtop and automated test environments. Operating at 60W maximum power, the unit delivers four independent load modes—constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), and constant power (CP)—with precision regulation and accuracy suitable for device characterization and power supply validation.
