ZVL SERIES OF ZERO-VOLT PROGRAMMABLE DC ELECTRONIC LOADS (ZVL-E ETHERNET-BASED MODELS 200kW-1.5kW)

Like the ZVL-L models, AMREL’s ZVL “E” Zero-volt Ethernet-based dc electronic eLoad models have the industry’s highest current rating for “0-Volt” operation. In addition, they offer Ethernet and USB connectivity as well as power ratings up to 1.5kW. That’s a lot of power in a compact fully-integrated, rackmount-ready package.

AMREL’s ZVL “E” Zero-volt Ethernet-based dc electronic eLoads are specifically designed for single cell fuel cell testing, ultra-low voltage battery testing, and 0-volt load applications. Custom-tailored voltage, power & current ratings, optional impedance measurement, and 16-bit precision make ZVL “E” Zero-volt eLoads perfect for many diverse applications. 

Traditional dc Electronic Load Solutions have inherent limitations for testing single cell fuel cells and PV cells/modules. Electronic loads use power-dissipating components that require a minimum compliance voltage of 0.6Vdc ~ 1.5Vdc for operation. However, single cell fuel cell and PV cells often require the dc electronic load to operate at below 0.1Vdc.  To meet single cell fuel testing and PV cell testing requirements, most electronic loads require an external booster supply. AMREL’s ZVL “E” Zero-volt Ethernet-based eLoads are manufactured with built-in booster supplies, substantially reducing cost and space.
