INTRODUCTION

The 

Dynaload

 

is

 

a

 

precision 

instrument

 

which

 

simulates

 

electrical

 

loads

 

to

 

test power

 supplies,

 generators,

 

servo

 

systems,

 

batteries,

 and

 

similar

 

electrical

 power

 sources. 

It 

simulates,

 

at

 

the

 

option

 of

 

the user,

 

resistive

 

loads 

(amps/volt)

 

or

 

may

 

be

 switched 

to

 

a

 

constant

 

current

 

load 

characteristic

 (current

 

regulated

 

at

 

a

 

pre-selected

 

value)

 

or

 

a

 constant

 

voltage 

type 

of

 

load

 

(similar

 

to

 

a

 

battery

 

or 

a

 zener 

diode).

 Provisions

 

are also

 

made

 

for

 

external

 

programming

 

in 

automated

 

test 

set

 

ups.

 

The

 

external

 

programming 

voltage

 

is 

from 

0-6V

 

with 

an 

input

 

impedance 

of 

10K

 minimum.

 

Load 

current

 

is

 

directly

 

proportional

 

to

 

programming 

voltage,

 and

 

the

 

sensitivity

 is

 

adjustable

 

with 

the front

 

panel

 current

 

adjustments.
