Chroma Regenerative AC Electronic Load 63800R Series

Chroma Regenerative AC Electronic Load 63800R Series

The Chroma 63800R Series offers a range of AC electronic loads with regenerative capabilities. This series consists of three models, providing power ratings of 9kVA, 12kVA, and 15kVA. With a high-power density design, these loads deliver a maximum load capacity of 15kVA, all within a compact 3U chassis. To meet higher power rating test requirements, multiple units can be paralleled, and master-slave control can be employed for synchronized operation.

Key Highlights of the Chroma 63800R Series:

Efficient and Regenerative Design

These electronic loads are built to be highly efficient, featuring a regenerative capability. This makes them a top choice for a wide range of renewable energy applications, including Energy Storage Systems (ESS), hybrid PV inverters, AC Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), and bidirectional On-Board Chargers (BOBC) for Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) applications.

Energy and Cost Savings:

In contrast to traditional AC loads for UPS testing, the 63800R Series stands out by eliminating waste heat generation, resulting in significant reductions in electricity costs. Furthermore, it complies with the IEC 62040-3 standard for UPS testing.

Smart Functionality:

Utilizing advanced all-digital control technology, this series introduces a Stand-By function to handle rapid voltage fluctuations from the Device Under Test (DUT). This function keeps the load in an active state even when the DUT is in standby or off, instantly drawing power when the voltage source is reactivated. This functionality is particularly valuable for fully automated testing in smart factories.

Versatile Operating Modes:

In addition to fundamental functions like Constant Current (CC), Constant Power (CP), and Constant Resistance (CR), the Chroma 63800R Series offers advanced operating modes, including Rectified and Phase Lead/Lag mode. It can also simulate SCR and TRIAC component characteristics with its unique half-cycle load function.

User-Friendly Interface:

Featuring a 5″ LCD display with an intuitive user interface, these electronic loads ensure seamless operation.

Connectivity Options:

For swift remote and digital control, connectivity options include USB, LAN, and optional GPIB or CAN interfaces. This allows for PC control using Chroma’s SoftPanel software, and instrument drivers are provided for LabVIEW-integrated system control.

Experience the advanced capabilities of the Chroma 63800R Series for your testing needs, providing energy-efficient and cost-effective solutions for various applications.
