Description

BK Precision 8518 Electronic Load Repair

The BK Precision 8518 Electronic Load is a programmable power supply – it holds a commanded voltage or current under whatever load the device under test presents, and switches between constant-voltage and constant-current regulation as that load changes. The output stage does the work, and it is where the heat and the wear concentrate.

Certified technicians at June Company service the BK Precision 8518 Electronic Load for test engineers, production test departments, R&D laboratories, and equipment manufacturers. Every instrument is repaired at component level and verified against reference standards before it ships back, with the measured results documented.

Common BK Precision 8518 Electronic Load problems we fix

Excessive ripple or noise on the output – invisible on the front panel and capable of corrupting whatever is being powered.
Output stage or pass-element failure.
Current limit not holding at the set value.
Output relay not switching.
Cooling fan or thermal shutdown.
Internal power supply faults.
GPIB, LAN, USB or remote-control faults – which breaks automated test sequences while the instrument still works from the front panel.
Display, keypad or front-panel faults.
Output voltage or current out of tolerance under load – a supply can read correct on its own display while delivering something else to the load – readback and actual output are separate circuits and they drift separately.
Will not regulate, or oscillates between CV and CC.

FAQs

Do you service instruments past manufacturer support? Yes. Much of what we repair is out of support, which is exactly where component-level work earns its keep.

What if it is not economical to repair? We tell you in the quote. The evaluation is free and there is no obligation to proceed.

Every repair carries a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty, with a firm quote before any work begins. Email us or submit a service request.

Shipping & Returns

Packing your equipment. You are responsible for packaging equipment adequately for transit. We strongly recommend the original manufacturer’s case, or double-boxing with at least two inches of shock-absorbing material on all six sides. We return your equipment in the packaging it arrived in, so please send it in packaging that will survive the return trip as well. If your packaging is damaged or inadequate for the return, we will substitute suitable packaging and may charge the cost of materials.

Insurance. Equipment is not insured by June Company while in transit. We strongly recommend insuring your shipment for its full replacement value.

Risk of loss. Risk of loss remains with you until your equipment is received at our facility, and transfers back to you when your repaired unit is delivered to the carrier (F.O.B. shipping point). June Company is not responsible for equipment lost, delayed, misdelivered, or damaged in transit, in either direction.

Return label. A prepaid and preprinted return shipping label should be included with your shipment. If one is not included, we will provide one.
