Traditional load bank solutions were limited by the minimum compliance voltage of internal power dissipating components and the lack of high-current handling capability. The markets for power electronics/ components, emerging fuel cell applications and energy storage sources (batteries, ultra capacitors and others) demanded a dc electronic load solution that was compact enough for simple portability with a voltage/current performance that allowed low-voltage operation at currents exceeding the standard current ratings.
AMREL’s FEL Series of "Low-voltage" dc Electronic eLoads offer affordable, compact rackmount-ready programmable loads for high-current dissipation at ultra-low compliance voltage. High current ratings go up to 200Adc.
You will discover a wide range of options in AMREL’s FEL Series of Ultra-low Voltage Programmable Loads. If you can’t find what you need, FEL models are capable of being custom-tailored to meet your application requirements.

Closed-case Calibration
With the eLoad line, there’s no longer a need to send your electronic load back to the factory for calibration or remove dozens of screws to reach a potentiometer. Simply follow the AMREL calibration routine from the front panel and you should be back up and running in a very short period of time (some electronic test equipment needed). This will virtually eliminate downtime and eradicate the annual cost associated with shipping your eLoad back to the factory for calibration.
Individual FET Protection
To ensure the reliability of the PEL & FEL Series, AMREL’s design includes individual FET protection. A programmable electronic load may contain many FETs in parallel, which can create a cascading failure if one of them was to short out. AMREL’s eLoad programmable electronic load design isolates failures so other components will not be affected or stressed, increasing the system’s level of protection against catastrophic failure. With individual FET protection, theMTTR is reduced and the electronic load quickly returns to full operation.
Customization
AMREL’s outstanding engineering team can provide customizations and modifications to any of the PEL & FEL units. AMREL’s customizations can range from a simple modification, such as a different front panel color, to a completecustom electro-mechanical design.
