6310 Modular Loads

 
Overview: Instruments are configurable from 1 to 8 independent and isolated loads per mainframe.  Load sizes are available from 100W to 1200W and current ranges up to 240A.   Loads maybe used independently or in parallel and include build-in CC, CR, short circuit and pulse modes.  RS232 control is standard and optional GPIB available.  Plug-and-Play Drivers and softpanels are included at no extra charge.
 
Low Voltage Operation: The 6310 loads can draw current down to approximately 0VDC with full current available to approximately 0.75VDC.  Click here for de-rating curve.
 
High Power Loads: For high power and current levels (15KW continuous/40KW (peak) up to 1000A) see Chroma's 62300 series.

BENEFITS OF CHROMA’S MODULAR 6310 LOAD SERIES

 

 

1)   Price:  Chroma’s Model 6310 loads are usually the lowest priced in the market for multiple output applications. 

 

2)     Low Voltage/High Current: Chroma's loads will draw full current down to about 0.75VDC, competitors start de-rating at much higher voltages.  This makes Chroma's loads better suited for modern low voltage/high current converters and VRMS.  De-rating curves for Chroma’s loads can be provided.

 

3)     Ease of Use: Chroma's loads have individual front controls and readouts, others require user to scroll through a single channel at a time (not ideal for bench use).  Additionally, Chroma's loads easily plug into front of mainframes allowing them to be reconfigured without removing mainframe from cabinet or removing cover.

 

4)     Front Connections:  Chroma's loads have front panel connections allowing for shorter connections to the UUT.  This reduces IR cable drops allowing lower voltage/high current supplies can be tested.  Shorter cables also mean lower inductance so higher di/dt's are possible.  

 

 

5)     Highest Load Density:  6310 mainframes can be populated with up to eight independent and isolated loads, the highest number in the industry.  This means fewer mainframes and modules are needed when a large number of loads are required, reducing costs, space and weight.

 

6)     Market Leader:  Chroma is the largest worldwide supplier of loads.  We ship about 1,000 per month.  Chroma almost always ships from stock, most competitors have 4-8 week lead times.

 

7)     Designed for Power Electronics:  Chroma's loads are specifically designed for power supply testing so front panel short-circuit buttons, programmable pulsing, front connections, etc are provided.  Competitor's loads are general purpose load not optimized for power supply testing.
