Electronic Loads

Transcat Axiom Rentals offers a broad selection of AC electronic loads, DC electronic loads, AC / DC combination loads, and portable load banks from top manufacturers like Chroma, EA Elektro‑Automatik, NH Research, Avtron (ASCO), Kikusui, BK Precision and more. An electronic load is a programmable instrument that safely sinks power from a device under test so engineers can simulate real‑world operating conditions and measure performance. Modern loads operate in modes such as constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), and constant power (CP), and many include advanced features like data logging, automated sequences, and protection limits for repeatable, automated testing. 

AC electronic loads are built to handle mains and three‑phase testing, making them ideal for validating UPS systems, inverters, and AC power supplies where waveform, power factor, and dynamic response matter. DC electronic loads focus on battery packs, chargers, solar arrays, and DC power supplies; they are rated by voltage, current, and power and range from bench sized units to high‑power systems. For high‑power applications we offer both non‑regenerative and regenerative high-power DC load rental options, plus high-voltage and specialty configurations. If your test requires extreme capacity, we provide high power electronic load rentals up to 1mW and high-power custom rack systems engineered to deliver maximum output in a smaller amount of space. 

Typical applications include battery characterization and cycling, EV/HEV powertrain and charger validation, energy storage system testing, transportation motor or battery power testing, data‑center and UPS verification, solar inverter and grid‑tie testing and power‑electronics design validation for compliance, reliability and long-duration stress testing. Industries that need to rent electronic loads include Automotive and EV development, Aerospace and Defense, Alternative Energy Testing, battery and energy-storage system development, telecommunications, and manufacturing test labs. Several factors go into determining the right load for your test; our knowledgeable sales team will consider your power, measurement, and operation requirements to recommend the best AC or DC load, whether you need portable load banks, regenerative systems, or custom rack solutions.
