Traditional DC Electronic Load Solutions are bulky and large. Most are offered with standard voltage, current and power ratings. In the automated test equipment (ATE) world, rack space is a highly coveted asset, and application demands are constantly diversifying with new technology development.
AMETEK Programmable Power's PLW Series of Water-Cooled DC electronic loads are capable of being custom-tailored to meet your specific application requirements.
The PLW Series Water-cooled DC electronic load also offers a unique condensation protection design, the highest power density, and current rating, as well as the widest selection of high-voltage models on the market.

PLW Series Features and Benefits
Closed-case Calibration
With the PLW Water-cooled DC electronic load line, there's no longer a need to send your electronic load back to the factory for calibration or to remove dozens of screws to reach a potentiometer.
Simply follow the calibration routine from the front panel and you should be back up and running in a very short period (some electronic test equipment is needed). This will virtually eliminate downtime and eradicate the annual cost associated with shipping your Water-cooled DC electronic load back to the factory for calibration.
Individual FET Protection
To ensure the reliability of the PLW Series Water-cooled DC electronic load, the design includes individual FET protection. A programmable electronic load may contain many FETs in parallel, which can create a cascading failure if one of them was to short out.
The PLW water-cooled DC electronic load design isolates failures so other components will not be affected or stressed, increasing the system's level of protection against catastrophic failure. With individual FET protection, the MTTR is reduced, and the electronic load quickly returns to full operation.
Ultra-low Voltage Operation
The PLW design allows the Water-cooled DC electronic load to operate at voltage levels approaching .1V. They will typically dissipate full rated current below 1% of their maximum rated voltage.
For example, a 60V unit designed to dissipate 1500A will allow the user to operate at .6V and still dissipate the full amount.

The FL8000 Series field probes offer a three-in-one solution capable of measuring continuous-wave, pulsed, and modulated electric fields. Covering 5 kHz – 60 GHz, the FL8000 Series works great in commercial, automotive, military, and aviation applications. Each field probe is an electrically small, separable axis sensor capable of measuring both continuous wave and pulsed electric fields offering a unique bandwidth, sensitivity, and dynamic range. Functionality that historically necessitated several types of field probes is now encompassed in a single product.
This series offers exceptional linearity and dynamic range performance to enable the accuracy required for even the most demanding testing. With fiber power connectivity, the FL8000 Series provides an easy migration path, all while delivering the reliability that has made AR the world leader in field monitoring.
