Specifying the Load Operating Mode
The operating modes of operation for Keysight EL30000 Series electronic load are:
– Constant current (CC) : In this mode, the electronic load will sink a current in accordance with the pro-
grammed value regardless of the input voltage. Note that a programmable voltage limit is not available. If the
DUT imposes a voltage above the voltage rating of the module, the overvoltage protection will trip.
– Constant voltage (CV) : In this mode, the electronic load will sink enough current to control the DUT voltage to
the programmed value. The load acts as a shunt voltage regulator when operating in voltage priority mode.
– Constant resistance (CR) : In this mode, the electronic load will sink a current linearly proportional to the
voltage in accordance with the programmed resistance value.
– Constant power (CP) : In this mode, the electronic load will maintain the input power at the specified pro-
grammed power level.
When programmed to a mode, the electronic load remains in that mode until the mode is changed or until a fault
condition, such as an overpower or overtemperature, occurs.
