The 8540 DC electronic load is a very compact, economically priced instrument that is at home on both the bench and the production floor. Though this is an instrument in a small package, it can reliably test a 5 volt power supply to 30 amps and do it continuously. The load can operate in CC, CV or CR mode while voltage/current or resistance/power values are measured and displayed in real time, making it well suited to test a variety of DC power sources. The 8540's performance is comparable to most full size bench DC electronic loads, yet it does the job at half the price and takes up half the space on your bench.

Outstanding features of the model 8540 DC Electronic Load include:
● Operates between 0 to 60 V, 1 mA to 30 A (150 W max)
● Constant current (CC), resistance (CR), and voltage (CV) operation
● Easy to operate
● Bright, easy to read display
● Very compact and light weight (6lbs.)
● Two current ranges: 3 A (1 mA resolution) and 30 A (10 mA resolution)
● Built-in high resolution (0.1 mA/1 mV) voltage and current measurement
● Over-Current and Over-Voltage Protection
● Short mode to simulate shorts
● Saves up to 400 instrument settings.
