FaithTech FT68206A-1200-240 Ultra High Power Electronic Load 1200V/240A/6kW
The FT68200A/AL/E series is a family of high power programmable DC electronic loads from FaithTech, designed for high reliability and high power density operation. It enables precision loading of DC sources under a wide range of dynamic, steady state, and transient test conditions. Single modules range from 6 kW up to 60 kW, and multiple units can be paralleled in master/slave configuration to scale to hundreds of kilowatts.
FT68206A-1200-240 Unit range:
- Voltage: 0 to 1200V
- Current: 0 to 240A
- Power: 0 to 6kW
- Dimensions: 4U, standard 19-inch chassis design
Key Features & Capabilities
Modules available in increments from 4kW to 60kW; parallel operation supports expansion up to 600kW or more.
Supports operating voltages of up to 1200V. Current capability per unit reaches up to 2400A in the lower voltage models.
Designed for compact size, the module density is roughly 6kW per 3U of rack height.
Precise Accuracy & Fast Response:
- Voltage measurement accuracy: ~0.025% + 0.025% FS.
- Current measurement accuracy: ~0.05% + 0.05% FS.
Dynamic programming (current control) up to 50kHz; sampling up to 500kHz.
30kHz dynamic sweep (frequency scan) capability to probe worst case voltage behaviour.
Multiplexed Operation Modes:
- Supports standard bias modes: CC (constant current), CV, CR (constant resistance), CP (constant power).
- Also supports combinations and advanced modes (e.g. CV + CC, CR + CC, CP + CC) and transient / dynamic modes (CRD, CPD) depending on variant.
Can handle instantaneous overloads of more than twice the rated power for short durations, aiding in stress testing.
Supports built in functions for OCP, OPP, battery discharge, internal resistance (ESR) simulation, LED load modelling, load effect simulation, auto test sequences, time measurement (0.1ms to 20h), and Vpeak+/Vpeak– measurement.
Standard interfaces: RS232, RS485, LAN, USB. Optional: GPIB, CAN. Protocol support: SCPI, Modbus RTU.
Comprehensive protections including over voltage, over current, over temperature, power limit, reverse polarity, memory of power-off state, etc.
Rugged design intended for continuous operation in demanding test environments.
