The Agilent/Keysight 6060A is a 300 W single-channel DC electronic load for testing and characterizing DC power sources, batteries, and power conversion circuits. It operates across 3 V to 60 V and sinks up to 60 A, with four programmable operating modes: Constant Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), Constant Resistance (CR), and Constant Power (CP). The instrument delivers fast transient response (<2 ms), built-in voltage, current, and power measurement with GPIB readback, and comprehensive protection including over-current, over-voltage, over-power, over-temperature, and reverse-polarity safeguards.
