Electronic loads offer high current capability
The Dynaload RBL Series of single-channel electronic loads offer an exceptionally high current rating of 1000A, and are ideal for the testing of large batteries and other DC power equipment.
Compact bench power supply provides 175W
The EX355, new from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a single-output laboratory DC power supply providing an output from 0 to 35V at 0 to 5A.
A buzzer can be set to operate for pass/fail conditions if required, and the comparator can be operated via the digital interface.
The 1906 incorporates a large number of other 'smart' functions.
These include linear scaling with Offset (Ax + B), percentage deviation, min/max storage, and logarithmic (dB) calculations.
The meter has a built-in data logger that can store up to 100 readings into non-volatile memory.
Readings can be stored at any selected time interval from one per second to one every three hours.
Alternatively, storage can be triggered manually from the front panel or automatically from the RS232 or GPIB interfaces.
A simple recall sequence allows readings to be scrolled onto the display whenever required.
Results can also be downloaded to a computer or printer using the digital interfaces.
All AC functions are true RMS.
The wide-bandwidth AC measurement system can be used for frequencies up to 50 kHz.
The maximum measurable inputs are 1000 V DC, 750 V AC and 10 A DC or AC.
The 1906 offers manual or fully automatic ranging (including current ranges), and all functions, ranges and computing programmes can be controlled via its built-in digital interface.
As standard, the 1906 has an addressable RS-232 interface.
Alternatively a version with a GPIB interface is available which conforms fully with IEEE-488.2.
The meter is housed in a robust ABS case with a multi-position tilt stand.
An optional 2U high rackmount kit is available for system applications.
The 1906 is manufactured in the UK, and costs ?395 (plus VAT).
