When connected in local sense mode the 5 digit voltage meter of the 3270 series Electronic load measures the voltage at its DC input terminals. The connecting leads between the DUT and the Electronic Load should be bundled or tie wrapped together to minimize inductance.
118 PRODIGIT 5-2. Remote sense connections Remote sensing compensates for the voltage drop in applications that require long lead lengths. It is useful under low voltage high current conditions. The remote voltage sense terminals (Vs+) and (Vs-) of the load are connected to (+) and (-) output of the AC/DC Source.
Discharge Characteristics and the Life Cycle of cells and battery packs. In CC operation the 3270 series can operate as a static load with switchable high and low current levels. It is also possible to operate the load dynamically enabling the user to adjust sink current with time.
This feature is found within the dynamic settings as RISE slew rate. Even in static mode the 3270 series load will regulate its current demand at ‘Load ON’ in line with the adjusted RISE slew rate. The FALL slew rate also in the dynamic settings allows the current ramp down to be controlled at ‘Load...
3270 Series Operation Manual 121 5-5. Constant Voltage mode application In Constant Voltage (CV) operation the load will attempt to sink as much current as required in order to reach the set voltage value. CV operation is useful in checking the load regulation of dc current sources.
(Fig 5-6b). Operating the 3270 series electronic load in CP mode is ideal for testing the characteristics of a battery. This is because as the battery voltage drops the load current will automatically increase in order to keep the CP setting.

That is, the greater the current through the current protection component, the shorter the Reaction time to protect the circuit. Due to this feature, the 3270 series AC & DC electronic load, in particular for the Verification of current protection components, has developed a Fuse Test function to test...
Page 137
Components need the fuse action, therefore the test current needs to be greater than the Fuse current rating. For the trip test mode of the 3270 series AC & DC electronic load, the LCD shows the Repeat times and the blow time of current protection component after the tested fuse blows.
