Introduction
This particular Load has been designed to operate with Telecom 48V Rectifiers and
Power Supplies with output Voltages in the range of 38V to 60V and is extremely cost
effective.
The load is continuously rated at 200 Amps at up to 60V DC, i.e. 12kW. The standard
model comes with Constant Current and Options for Constant Power, Constant Resistance and
Constant Voltage modes. The mode selection will be via the front panel. The load
current is continuously variable over the entire current range. The current is controlled
via two knobs on the front panel, one coarse and one fine control.
The Load is powered from the mains supply. The unit uses forced air cooling. The Load
is housed in a 6Ucase with an option for 19 inch Rack Mount case. It can also be used as a portable Load.
The case has various rear panel connectors and the front panel has two LCD digital panel
meters, one for the DC input Voltage and one for the load current. There are also eight
LED’s to indicate the status of the Load.
The load has been designed to be very reliable and easy to use. It is thermally safe and
has fan fail detectors on all fans together with air blockage detectors. The DC input has
overvoltage protection included. The DC power connection is via an Anderson SB ®
Series connector on the rear panel. Monitor points are included on the front panel for
access to the internal shunt. This is also provided via a D type connector on the rear
panel.
Control selection is made from the front panel between “Load ON”, “Load OFF”, “Data
Logger Control”, “External Input Control”, (e.g. suitable for UPS control).
The rear panel has a connector to link to the “Manatronics Data Logger DLM-09” or
for an external load on / off control, (e.g. suitable for UPS control).
Applications
- Telecom Rectifier testing
- General Power Supply testing
- Suitable for run-up bench and product design/development.
- Load bank for Burn-in room facility
- Battery discharge testing
If this unit is also required to carry out Battery Discharge testing there is an option to
have an in-built LVD, (Low Voltage Disconnect). This can be enabled and disabled from
the front panel. It is possible to select the “End Voltage” for both 48V and 50V systems
with an equivalent “End Voltage” per cell from 1.55V PC up to 1.90V PC. When
enabled the load monitors the overall battery Voltage and when it drops to the “End
Voltage” it will automatically disconnect the load and the current will drop to zero.
Thus, the Load now becomes an intelligent Load, in that if it is left unattended it will
prevent deep discharge of the batteries and hence prevent any possible damage to them.
When this load is used in conjunction with the “Manatronics Data Logger DLM-09”,
(which is recommended), the “End Voltage” will be programmed from the Logger and
this will automatically disconnect the load when the Logger senses that the “End
Voltage” has been reached. This feature will override the LVD in the load.
