The EL1000 electronic load bank is designed to investigate single cells or complete stacks up to 100 V. Adding an additional external electronic load, the maximum current of 200 A can be raised up to 600 A and the corresponding power from 1000 W to 60 kW.
 
The EL1000 operates either as a standalone device under PC control for DC-only measurements, or in combination with a Zennium electrochemical workstation for both DC measurements and AC impedance measurements.
 
Customers not interested in operating the EL1000 as a standalone device can instead connect it to a Zennium workstation. The EL-Series potentiostats are controlled by an EPC42, which is a plug-in module for the Zennium workstations. Each EPC42 can control up to four EL-Series devices. Up to four EPC42 cards can control up to 16 ELs by one Zennium. The EL-Series is completely integrated into the Zennium operating environment. Thus, all acquisition and analysis techniques that run on the Zennium can be applied with the EL-Series load banks as well. The installation of one or more EL-Series load bank will upgrade the Zennium to an even more versatile, high-current electrochemical workstation.
