Regenerative DC Load. Sink and cycle power without the heat — CC/CV/CP/CR with energy recovery instead of dissipation.
What it does
The IMPEDYME N35500 platform integrates a bidirectional DC source, a regenerative load, a battery simulator and a solar array simulator in one chassis — so a single instrument covers the test instead of four. Output spans 0–2250 V across six voltage classes, up to 42 kW in 3U, and scales to megawatts through master/master paralleling, with energy returned to the grid at up to 93%.
