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.
