The 8510B electronic load is the ideal solution for applications requiring high currents at moderate voltages. With a maximum output of 600 W and up to 120 A input current, this model is aimed at developers and testers of high-performance DC power supplies, batteries, fast chargers and energy storage devices.
Thanks to four operating modes (CC, CV, CR, CW), adjustable slew rates, transient operation and extensive protection functions, the device is particularly versatile. The simple operation and PC control also enable seamless integration into laboratory and test systems.
Application areas:
- DC fast charger tests
- Battery tests with high discharge currents
- Evaluation of power supply units with high current output
- Simulation of dynamic load profiles

The 8510B offers twice the power (600 W) compared to the 8500B or 8502B and is specially designed for high current tests. It is ideal for applications where high currents (up to 120 A) are required. The 8514B surpasses it in terms of power and current, but is larger and heavier. If, on the other hand, you need high voltage, the 8502B with 500 V input voltage is the better choice.
