NH Research 4600 Series Programmable AC Electronic Load - RF Cafe

NH Research 4600 Series Programmable AC Electronic Load - Linear & Non-Linear AC Loading In Several Emulation Modes With Power & Crest Factor Control

September 7, 2022 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, Inc., an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post titled "Modular Test Solution Speed Semiconductor Testing," that explains how electronic loads are able to enhance the performance of AC and DC power supplies and energy sources. Connecting an AC or DC electronic load to the output of an AC or DC power supply, respectively, enables it to replace the electronic circuitry normally at that point in an electronic design or product and study the behavior of the power supply under a variety of operating conditions.

A power supply can be analyzed by connecting it to a suitable-sized resistor to sink current to ground. However, such a passive load is not representative of most actual applications. An electronic load mimics the complexity of a real-world load with resistance, inductance, and capacitance that can vary under changing conditions. Whether by manual tuning or programmed under computer control, an electronic load can mimic the many different load conditions facing a power supply in a circuit or system and be part of testing that provides data on how a power supply responds to those conditions.

Selecting an electronic load can be guided by the application to be tested, whether a sizeable 220 VAC three-phase unit under test (UUT) maintained by a regular schedule of measurements or a lower power, lower voltage DC supply that must be tested in large volumes as part of production-line quality-assurance measurements. Learn more information about electronic loads by reading the full post on Axiom's Website. 

AC, DC Loads Evaluate Electrical Use

Electronic loads are versatile test tools and invaluable instruments that enhance the performance of AC and DC power supplies and energy sources. Connecting an AC or DC electronic load to the output of an AC or DC power supply, respectively, enables it to replace the electronic circuitry normally at that point in an electronic design or product and study the behavior of the power supply under a variety of operating conditions. Combined with a power analyzer and often an instrument-grade power supply, the electronic load can reveal enough about the power supply to lead to higher efficiency, greater stability, and an even longer operating lifetime. The best electronic load for an application will be determined by the ranges and limits of the voltage, current, and power of the power supply or source to be tested.

A power supply can be analyzed by connecting it to a suitable-sized resistor to sink current to ground. However, such a passive load is not representative of most actual applications. An electronic load mimics the complexity of a real-world load with resistance, inductance, and capacitance that can vary under changing conditions. Whether by manual tuning or programmed under computer control, an electronic load can mimic the many different load conditions facing a power supply in a circuit or system and be part of testing that provides data on how a power supply responds to those conditions.

Electronic loads operate in numerous modes when analyzing a power supply, including constant current (CC), constant resistance (CR), constant voltage (CV), and constant power (CP) modes. Commercial electronic loads also provide modes to test power supplies for key comparative performance parameters...
