# GW Instek PEL-5015C-600-1050 15kW 600V/1050A Programmable DC Electronic Load # GW Instek PEL-5015C-600-1050 15kW 600V/1050A Programmable DC Electronic Load ## Key Features At A Glance - Power ratings from 6 kW to 24 kW across the series for high-power DC load testing - Three voltage classes available: 150 V, 600 V, and 1200 V models to match diverse DUT requirements - Current ranges scaling with model from tens of amps up to 2000 A maximum - Multiple operating modes: CC, CV, CR, CP, plus CV+CC and CV+CP combination modes - Built-in MPPT mode using P&O algorithm with configurable 1000 ms to 60000 ms P&O interval for solar array simulation - Dynamic mode with programmable Thigh/Tlow timing from 0.010 ms to 9999 ms and slew rates up to 36 A/µS on top-tier models - Surge test capability with 1–5 surge steps and 10–1000 ms surge time for transient load profiling - Comprehensive protections: OPP at 105%, OCP at 104%, OVP at 105%, and OTP at 90°C ±5°C The GW Instek PEL-5000C Series is a family of high-power programmable DC electronic loads engineered for demanding power electronics, energy storage, fuel cell, solar inverter, and EV-related test applications. Spanning power ratings from 6 kW through 24 kW and offered in three voltage classes — 150 V, 600 V, and 1200 V — the series provides a coordinated range of models that share a common operating-mode set, measurement architecture, and protection scheme so that test procedures can scale across power levels without recharacterizing instrument behavior. Each PEL-5000C model supports a comprehensive set of load operating modes used in power-source characterization and qualification: Constant Current, Constant Voltage, Constant Resistance, and Constant Power, plus the combination modes Constant Voltage + Constant Current and Constant Voltage + Constant Power. Dedicated MPPT mode using a Perturb-and-Observe algorithm in CV operation supports solar array and PV-inverter testing with a configurable P&O interval. Dynamic mode with programmable high/low timing and configurable slew rate enables transient and pulsed-load testing, and a Surge Test mode with 1–5 surge steps and per-step durations from 10 ms to 1000 ms supports inrush and surge-event profiling. ValueTronics stocks and tests this equipment in our 20,000 sq ft secure facility at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois — the same building where every {{CONDITION}} PEL-5000C unit we ship is inspected, verified against the published specifications, and prepared for delivery. Unlike pass-through brokers and drop-shippers, we hold our inventory physically, which means availability is real, lead times are honest, and condition reports reflect what our technicians actually observed. ## Compare Other Models in This Series The PEL-5000C Series is organized as a coordinated family of 24 models across three voltage classes (150 V, 600 V, 1200 V) and eight power tiers (6 kW, 8 kW, 10 kW, 12 kW, 15 kW, 18 kW, 20 kW, 24 kW). Every model shares the same operating-mode set — CC, CV, CR, CP, CV+CC, CV+CP, plus MPPT, Dynamic, and Surge Test modes — and the same protection architecture, so the differences between models live in the power, voltage, and current envelopes rather than in feature availability. Within each voltage class, the higher-power models deliver proportionally higher current capacity and absorb more total energy, while the constant-resistance range and short-circuit characteristics scale accordingly. The model number encodes the configuration directly: PEL-5018C-600-1260, for example, indicates an 18 kW unit in the 600 V class with 1260 A maximum current. Each new PEL-5000C model below links to its own dedicated product page with condition-matched pricing, current availability, and the full specification sheet for that specific configuration. Click through to the page for the exact model your application requires. The primary axis of differentiation across the series is the combination of voltage class and power rating, which together determine maximum current capacity and the constant-resistance / short-circuit envelope. A 150 V model is appropriate for low-voltage high-current loads such as battery modules, fuel cells, and low-voltage DC supplies; a 600 V model targets industrial DC bus testing, mid-voltage inverters, and EV subsystems; and a 1200 V model addresses high-voltage strings, traction-class packs, and high-voltage DC power systems. Within a given voltage class, stepping up in power rating raises the current ceiling and the absorbed-energy capacity but does not change the voltage range or the measurement-accuracy specifications. The comparison table below lists power rating, voltage range, current range, minimum operating voltage, short-circuit characteristics, and chassis size for the models in this family so the right configuration can be selected against the specific DUT envelope.
