TORKEL 860 Battery Load Unit
TORKEL 860 MULTI Battery Load Unit is designed primarily for people who travel from place to place to maintain battery systems having different voltages. It features excellent discharging capacity plus a broad voltage range and outstanding portability – a unique combination.
TORKEL 860 is used for systems ranging from 12 to 480 V, and discharging can proceed at up to 110 A. If higher current is desired, two or more TORKEL 860 units or extra load units, TXL, can be linked together. Discharging can take place at constant current, constant power, constant resistance or in accordance with a preselected load profile.
Testing can be carried out without disconnecting the battery from the equipment it serves. Via a DC clamp-on ammeter, TORKEL measures total battery current while regulating it at a constant level.
The TORKEL is connected to battery, the current and the voltage alarm level are set. After starting the discharge TORKEL keeps the current constant at the preset level. When the voltage drops to a level slightly above the final voltage, TORKEL issues an alarm. If the voltage drops so low that there is a risk for deep discharging the battery, TORKEL shuts down the test. The total voltage curve and the readings taken at the end of the test are stored in TORKEL Later, using the TORKEL Win program (optional), you can transfer these readings to your computer for storage, printout or export. If your PC is connected to TORKEL during the test, TORKEL Win builds up a voltage curve on the screen in real time and displays the current, voltage and capacity readings.
