The Kikusui PLZ164WA is a multifunctional DC electronic load designed for precision power testing across a wide range of applications. Operating from 0 V to 150 V DC with a maximum input current of 33 A and maximum input power of 165 W, this unit delivers exceptional transient response capability with a maximum slew rate of 16 A/µs and 10 µs rise time. It supports six operating modes—Constant Current (CC), Constant Resistance (CR), Constant Voltage (CV), Constant Power (CP), CC+CV, and CR+CV—enabling dynamic load simulation and comprehensive power component validation.
The PLZ164WA excels in low-voltage testing applications through its 0 V input capability, allowing full-rated current operation at zero volts for single-cell fuel cell testing and similar low-voltage scenarios. A three-range configuration provides wide dynamic range, while 10 µA current measurement resolution in the L range ensures precise characterization. All measurements—voltage, current, and power—display on dedicated 5-digit readouts.
