Brand: BK Precision · SKU: 8540 · MPN: 8540 · Category: Components
The BK Precision 8540 is a compact, 150W DC electronic load tester belonging to the 8500 series. It is designed for continuous and reliable testing of DC power sources, capable of testing a 5-volt power supply up to 30 amps. It operates in Constant Current (CC), Constant Voltage (CV), or Constant Resistance (CR) modes, allowing for real-time measurement and display of voltage/current or resistance/power values. Its performance is comparable to larger bench loads but at half the price and taking up half the space. It includes over-current, over-voltage protection, and a short mode to simulate shorts. It can save up to 40 instrument settings (with firmware v1.60+).
