3.1 Basic Operation Modes
The E-load has four basic modes:
1) Constant current mode (CC)
2) Constant voltage mode (CV)
3) constant resistance mode (CR)
4) Constant power mode (CW)
3.1.1 Constant Current Mode (CC)
In constant current mode, the DC E-load will sink a constant current, regardless of the
voltage of the source. See the figure below.
