PEL-3000(H) User Manual Operating Mode Description CC Mode When the unit is set to CC mode it will operate as a CC Mode constant current load when connected to a constant voltage source. This means the unit will sink a designated amount of current, up to the rated power level, regardless of the voltage.
APPENDIX CC + CV Mode Load Input Voltage CV level Load Current CC Current Value Note that when the source voltage is less than the CV level, no current will flow due to a very high impedance. CR Mode When the unit is set to CR mode it will operate as a CR Mode constant resistance load when connected to a constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC)

PEL-3000(H) User Manual CR Mode Load Input Voltage CR Value Load Current When CR+CV mode is enabled, the unit will act as CR+CV Mode constant resistive load after the input voltage is greater than the user-defined CV level. At the CV level, the unit works as a constant voltage load.
APPENDIX CP Mode When the unit is set to CP mode it will operate as a CP Mode constant power load when connected to a constant voltage source. This means the unit will maintain a set power level, up to the rated current or voltage level, regardless of the input voltage.
PEL-3000(H) User Manual CP+CV Mode Load Input Voltage CP Value CV level Load Current Note that when the source voltage is less than the CV level, no current will flow due to a very high impedance. CV Mode When the unit is set to CV mode it will operate as a CV Mode constant voltage load when connected to a constant current source.
PEL-3000(H) User Manual PEL-3000(H) Specifications The specifications apply when the PEL-3000(H) is powered on for at least 30 minutes to warm-up to a temperature of 25˚C ± 5˚C, unless specified otherwise.
