Intepro's DC electronic load with energy recovery to AC mains
Intepro Systems is introducing the ELR9000 Series of electronic DC loads. A feature of the ELR9000 Series is an integral, grid-synchronised inverter designed to return up to 95 per cent of the load test energy back to the grid. The rack-mounted unit is available, off-the shelf, with output ratings of 3.5kW, 7kW and 10.5kW "" scalable to 105kW.
The ELR9000 Series offers four common regulation modes: constant voltage, constant current, constant resistance and constant power. The FPGA-based operational controls include a function generator and a table-based regulation circuit for the simulation of non-linear internal resistances. Intepro's PowerStar 6 software package enables the creation of test routines using a drag-and-drop menu where coding can be performed without programming.
Gerard Sheehan, Intepro's Chief Technical Officer, says: "Our new ELR9000 Series of electronic DC loads offers all the necessary features of today's electronic loads "" plus the added benefit of energy recovery to mains. Recovering the load energy reduces energy costs. It also offers a cost-effective alternative to the expensive cooling systems used by conventional air- and water-cooled loads to dissipate energy as heat."
Intepro Systems offers electronic loads as stand-alone units or as complete test systems. Maintenance contracts and onsite calibrations are also available for its test systems.
