The Continuous
Load Unit (CLU) provides the load during a capacity test. It may
be used with the BCT-2000, the BDS monitor, or stand-alone with
the Manual Control Box. Load units may be ordered in standard configurations
or built to individual customer needs. Configuration and design
of the resistive elements let the user adjust the load in small
increments through the entire test system capacity.
The load units may be used with any Alber data logging and load
control unit, or stand-alone. Together, the two instruments create
a system capable of providing a maximum range of configurations
tailored to customer needs.
Each CLU is housed in an aluminum enclosure with expanded metal
sides and top for excellent ventilation. This enclosure is mounted
on lockable, hard rubber casters for portability. The conservative
rating of the load resistors and the fan cooling system keep the
frame from reaching excessive temperatures.
All continuous load devices are rated in constant current, but can
be used for constant power testing when used with the Alber BCT-2000
battery capacity test system. Standard units are available from
21VDC to 270VDC. Custom load units for voltages outside this range
can be readily designed and manufactured.
