Chroma 63030 DC Electronic Load Module 300W

The Chroma 63030 is a programmable DC electronic load module designed for the comprehensive testing of DC power sources and electronic components. It is part of the Chroma 6300 Series, which offers a range of modular loads integrated into mainframe units, allowing for flexible configurations. The 63030 module itself provides 300W of power handling capacity, with a maximum voltage of 64V and a maximum current of 60A. This electronic load is engineered to sink high current even at very low voltages, making it suitable for testing modern low-voltage power supplies, such as 3.3V variants, with the capability for operation down to zero voltage at proportionally reduced current levels.
