Intepro introduces DC electronic load with energy recovery

Aug. 12, 2015

Tustin, CA. Intepro Systems today introduced the ELR9000 Series electronic DC loads. The ELR9000 Series features an integral, grid-synchronized inverter designed to return up to 94% of the load test energy back to the grid. The rack-mounted unit is available, off-the shelf, with output ratings of 3.5 kW, 7 kW, and 10.5 kW—scalable to 105 kW.

The ELR9000 Series offers four common regulation modes: constant voltage, constant current, constant resistance, and constant power. The FPGA-based operational controls include a function generator and a table-based regulation circuit for the simulation of nonlinear internal resistances. Intepro’s PowerStar 6 software package enables the creation of test routines using a drag-and-drop menu where coding can be performed without programming.

“Our new ELR9000 Series of electronic DC loads offers all the necessary features of today’s electronic loads—plus the added benefit of energy recovery to mains,” said Gerard Sheehan, Intepro’s chief technical officer. “Recovering the load energy reduces energy costs. It also offers a cost-effective alternative to the expensive cooling systems used by conventional air- and water-cooled loads to dissipate energy as heat.”

Intepro Systems offers electronic loads as standalone units or as complete test systems. Maintenance contracts and onsite calibrations are also available for its test systems.

Price: starting at $8,186.00 Availability is 8-12 weeks.

Intepro systems can serve in production testing, ESS screening, and repair and characterization of power components and subassemblies.

Intepro Systems instrumentation and systems test and validate power supply systems and components used in aerospace, military, telecommunications, and other power electronics applications.
