Functions and Advantages 

Power regenerative efficiency up to 95%

High energy regenerative efficiency.The IT8000series has a unique energy regenerative function that can regenerate electrical energy and then directly use it in the plant instead of consuming it in the form of heat. Its conversion efficiency can up to 95%, which not only will greatly reduce the user's electricity cost, but also avoid the use of air conditioning or expensive cooling systems.

High power density

Conventional electronic loads are not only with high energy consumption, but also with very large size and weight. Energy consumption electronic load with 30KW load is at least 24U, it is difficult to transport and the cost is higher. IT8000 series regenerative DC electronic load adopts high power density design of 18kW in only 3U high. Compared to conventional electronic loads, the size for IT8000 series is decreased by 80% under the same output power.

Power accumulation function

IT8000 series regenerative DC electronic load uses the power electronic transformation technology on the premise of completing test power experiment to make output energy of measured power supply regenerative recycled and reused. Through the inside fast sampling of voltage and current, the regenerative power value can be observed on the front panel of IT8000 series, including voltage, frequency and power of each phase, as well as total power, total current regenerative and total historical regenerative power, which makes the energy saving effect much easier. Re-open after power failure, IT8000 series will continue to accumulate the regenerative power value based on the last power off value.

List function

IT8000 series regenerative DC electronic load provides list mode, it can complete the complex arbitrary current change mode accurately and fast, and can synchronize with internal or external signals to complete multi-level loading precision test, which greatly save cost for customers. By editing the step value, pulse width and the slope of each step, IT8000 can generate a variety of complex sequences and help users to complete various loading waveforms test. In the CC mode, IT8000 series can set rising and falling speed.

Battery test function

IT8000 series regenerative DC electronic load simulate battery discharge test under CC mode, and support settable discharge cut-off conditions, such as cut-off voltage, cut-off capacity and cut-off time. When any of the three conditions are met, the discharge test will be stopped. Moreover, the battery voltage, discharge time and the discharged capacity can be observed during the test, which reflects the reliability of the battery and its remaining life.

Patented parallel technology

Advantage:
♦ IT8000 has adopted ITECH parallel technology
♦ All the function and performance will be the same as standalone unit
♦ No need to calibrate after paralleling
♦ Fiber transmission, good for anti-interference
♦ Digital paralleling, fully insulated, good for protecting DUT

Full protection

IT8000 series regenerative DC electronic load supports automatic detection the grid state . When grid connection is suddenly disconnected or power down, IT8000 will be turned off. IT8000 series can achieve reliable on-grid function and anti-islanding protection function. IT8000 supports monitoring on DC input voltage and frequency, and supports OCP, OVP, OTP, OPP function.
