TXL870 Extra Resistive Load Unit

These resistive extra loads do not perform any regulating functions. They are designed for use together with TORKEL battery load units. Their purpose is to provide higher load currents for use in constant current or constant power tests. Together, TORKEL and the TXL extra loads form a system that can discharge batteries with currents of up to several kA. TXL extra loads are connected directly to the battery, and TORKEL measures the total current using a clamp-on ammeter. TXL extra loads are shut down automatically when TORKEL is stopped.
