High-Power Electronic DC Load for Dynamic DC Testing
ITECH IT8100A/E: Realistic Testing of Load Transients and High DC Power
The ITECH IT8100A/E Series is designed for test applications in which high currents and fast load changes occur simultaneously. Typical DUTs include AI server power supplies, power modules, batteries, fuel cells, and power electronics. The instruments operate as electronic DC loads and absorb power delivered by the DUT; they do not replace a DC source.
Load transients, current profiles, and changing operating points can be simulated directly in the instrument. This allows, for example, the transient response of power supplies, OCP and OPP protection points, short-circuit behavior, or battery discharge to be tested reproducibly. User-defined current waveforms support tests with real or recorded load profiles.
For high-power test systems, multiple instruments can be connected via optical master-slave operation. This enables tests in the MW range with centralized load control. The high current dynamics also support testing of systems that must respond to rapid load changes.
IT8100A or IT8100E?
The IT8100E is suitable when dynamic high-power load testing, protection testing, and scalable DC load power are the primary requirements. The IT8100A adds EIS with Bode and Nyquist plots, CC Pulse, CC Sine, Table Mode, and DVM. This also makes it suitable for battery and fuel cell impedance analysis as well as high-current pulse testing.
The IT8100A/E Series instruments are electronic DC loads. If a DUT must both be supplied with power and loaded, bidirectional DC power supplies are the more suitable instrument class.
Alternative Products
If you require very high DC currents for conventional high-power load testing, the ITECH IT8400 high-power electronic DC load is a suitable alternative. For another conventional high-power DC load with a broad range of voltage and power ratings, the ITECH IT8900A/E high-power electronic DC load is also a suitable option.

Supplier
LXinstruments has been supplying ITECH equipment since 2020. When an individual instrument needs to become part of a complete test system, we support you with product selection, system sizing and integration into the automation environment. The key is to ensure that the DUT, power requirements, interfaces and test sequence work together.
We also use ITECH equipment in customized test systems. Depending on the test application, we combine power supplies, electronic loads, grid simulation and measurement technology so that the functions match both the DUT and the test sequence.
