ITECH IT-M3800: Regenerative Power Testing With Energy Recovery

The ITECH IT-M3800 Series is a programmable regenerative DC electronic load for power testing in R&D, production, and ATE applications. Up to 95% of the absorbed power is fed back into the grid instead of being dissipated as heat. This energy recovery reduces power consumption and cooling requirements in the test system. Automatic grid detection monitors grid voltage and frequency and synchronizes the regenerative operation.

With up to 6 kW in 1U and 12 kW in 2U, the series combines high power density with a model range from 10 to 1,500 V and up to 720 A. Different voltage and current ranges can be covered within a single product family, reducing space requirements and system complexity.

For higher power requirements, multiple units can be connected in parallel in master/slave operation. The isolated fiber-optic connection supports stable control and measurement performance in parallel operation. Programmable load profiles, battery discharge testing, and short-circuit simulation extend the range of test applications. Typical applications include burn-in and load testing of server and HVDC power supplies, industrial components, as well as PV and energy storage systems.

Alternative Products

If a DC source is also required, the ITECH IT-M3900B Series combines a bidirectional DC power supply and a regenerative electronic DC load in a single instrument. For regenerative DC load testing with higher power, voltage, or current requirements, the ITECH IT8000 Series is a scalable high-power alternative.
