Kikusui PLZ334W

The Kikusui PLZ334W is a 330 W multifunctional DC electronic load engineered for precision testing of power supplies, batteries, DC/DC converters, and fuel cells. Operating across 1.5 VDC to 150 VDC at up to 66 A, it delivers six distinct operating modes—constant current, constant resistance, constant voltage, constant power, and two hybrid modes—enabling comprehensive characterization of switching power supplies and mobile charging circuits. The instrument achieves 16 A/µs slew rate with 10 µs rise/fall time, supporting transient response analysis and waveform simulation. Variable slew rate adjustment compensates for wiring inductance effects during load switching. Measurement resolution reaches 1 mV (voltage), 10 µA (current), and 10 mW (power) across a 5-digit display. Voltage accuracy is ±(0.1% of set + 0.1% of f.s.) in H range; power accuracy is ±(0.6% of set + 1.4% of f.s.) in H and M ranges.
