The BK Precision 8600 programmable DC electronic load provides the performance of modular system DC electronic loads in a compact benchtop form factor. With fast transient, operation speeds up to 25 kHz, and high 16-bit measurement resolution and accuracy, this DC load can be used for testing and evaluating a variety of DC sources such as DC power supplies, DC-DC converters, batteries, battery chargers, and photovoltaic arrays.

This DC electronic load can operate in constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), and constant power (CW) mode. The instrument provides flexible triggering capabilities, analog current control and monitoring, and standard USB (USBTMC-compliant, or RS-232 serial interfaces for remote communication.
