Title: RE: Programmable DC Electronic load
Post by: Jayy on October 05, 2015, 05:25:01 am

Hi,

I would like to buy Programmable DC Electronic load for R&D and general purpose electronics.
I have attached datasheet. please take a look and tell me if this model is any good.
it does not have CV and how important is that.

Thanks and Regards,
Jai.

It looks pretty similar to the Atten and maybe the Array 3700 series Electronic Loads.  You can search here on Atten, Array, and also Maynuo and BK Precision Electronic Loads.  You'll see a fair amount of discussion; I think there are other users here with the Atten and Array versions.  Here is a thread that might get you started:

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

how important is CV (constant voltage) feature.

Regards,
Jai.

I think constant voltage might be a pretty worthy feature but you'll get lots of guidance on that and more shortly....
I just came across this - you might enjoy it:

Definitely take a look at Maynuo too.
