GETTING STARTED Protection features The protection features of the PEL-5000G series Electronic load modules are as follows: The Electronic Load will turn OFF Load OFF if the Overvoltage overvoltage circuit is tripped. The message OVP protection will be displayed on the LCD. When the OVP fault has been removed the load can be set to sink power again.
Page 14
A minimum of 15cm is recommended. After a suitable cooling period the load can be switched. The PEL-5000G series load module will tolerate a Reverse Polarity reverse current up to the maximum current rating of the load module. The”-“symbol will be shown on the voltage and current displays.
Page 15
If a reverse polarity situation occurs the load will sink Caution power even if the LOAD button is OFF. No current will be displayed on the PEL-5000G series load module. Current up to the load’s maximum current rating will be tolerated in reverse polarity. However there is no OVP OCP and OPP protection.

PEL-5000G Series User Manual allows for a controlled transition from one load setting to another. It can be used to minimize induced voltage drops on inductive power wiring, or to control induced transients on a test device (such as would occur during power supply transient response testing).
Page 21
GETTING STARTED Therefore, both minimum transition time and slew rate must be considered when determining the actual transition time. Following detail description is excluding in specification sheet. The minimum transition time for a given slew rate as about a 30% or greater load change, The slew rate increases from the minimum transition time to the Maximum transition time at a 100% load change.
A dynamic waveform can be programmed from the front panel of the PEL-5000G series Electronic Load. The user would first set a High and low value of load current using the Level button. The Dynamic Setting then allows for the rise and fall time between these 2 current values to be adjusted.

PEL-5000G Series User Manual Local sense connections Local sensing is used in applications where the Background lead lengths are relatively short, or where load regulation is not critical. When connected in local sense mode the 5 digit voltage meter of the PEL- 5000G series electronic load measures the voltage at its DC input terminals.
DUT the load will check and compensate for all voltage drops. The maximum voltage sense compensation is the same as the rating of the PEL-5000G series. Vmax of PEL-5004G-150-400, PEL-5005G-150-500, Example and PEL-5006G-150-600 is 150Vdc so maximum Vsense is also 150Vdc.
Discharge Characteristics and the Life Cycle of cells and battery packs. In CC operation the PEL-5000G 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.

Page 170
The PEL-5000G series load will track and load according to the external signal as long as it is within its dynamic capability. The input signal can be the range of 0-10V (dc+ac).
APPLICATION Constant Voltage mode application In Constant Voltage (CV) operation the load will Background 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.

This feature is found within the dynamic settings as RISE slew rate. Even in static mode the PEL-5000G 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 OFF”.

(Fig b). Operating the PEL-5000G 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.
Page 176
PEL-5000G Series User Manual Along with static operation the load can also be operated dynamically in CP mode. The dynamic functions allow the ramp, fall and plateau times to be adjusted between 2 levels of power. This capability means that “real world” loads can be more accurately simulated.
CV mode operation (charging device) Operating in the current-limiting CV mode, the Background PEL-5000G series can limit current or power when operating at a Constant voltage load. It is especially suitable for charging piles, Constant current sources and other power product testing applications.

APPLICATION battery. When the battery is accidentally short-circuited or over-current, when the voltage on the second pin of the IC (the voltage division of the MOSFET’s threshold voltage on-resistance) is greater than the over-current detection voltage, the discharge terminal of the first pin of the IC outputs a low level, the discharging MOSFET is turned off, and stops Discharge.

. For this difficulty, GW Instek integrates the BMS test into the PEL-5000G series electronic load. In addition to the functions of the normal PEL-5000G series, the set test current required for battery BMS testing is increased.
DC load. The 9923 load current waveform plug-in generator can be installed on a wide selection of DC loads, including high power electronic loads such as the PEL-5000G series.
APPLICATION PC application software is provided with the 9923 generator to allow waveform editing, oscilloscope waveform download and other programming functions. The DC Load Current Waveform Generator supports up to 2048 steps per timing sequence output voltage and the ability to cycle this waveform up to 9999 times.
PEL-5000G Series User Manual In addition to manually editing the required current waveform, the user can also use an oscilloscope to capture and store the actual current waveform using a comma separated value file (*.csv). The 9923 application software can read this current waveform file and then download it to the 9923 Load Current Waveform Generator for Electronic load simulation use.

PEL-5000G Series User Manual The next step will compare the test steps. 9923 software will not download to the 9923 EEROM if the test steps are the same. The 9923 software will prompt the user whether to download to 9923 if the test steps are not the same. In that case, the system will show a prompt [Have modify.
APPLICATION Stand-alone application (no need for a computer connection) The 9923 supports stand-alone operation as well. In this case, the user need only download the waveform data to the 9923 EEPROM. If there is no need for the application software to record the voltage, current and other information, the computer connection can be removed.
PEL-5000G Series User Manual This requires 16A/ V, 66.666/16 = 4.166V. Thus, the 9923 application software voltage must be edited to 4.166V and then through the following diagram connected in parallel with three PEL-500G-1200-160. Each PEL-5004G-120-160 will be seen an input voltage level equivalent to a 66.666A load current, resulting in a total of 200A.
APPLICATION SEQUENCE LOAD (remote only) SEQUENCE LOAD function, the time sequence can be 2~16 STEP, each STEP must set the load value and time, after starting the test, it will be executed repeatedly according to the set value until the voltage is less than VTH (threshold voltage) value, or received Stop the command to stop the test.
