Power potentiostats and electronic loads today are indispensable tools in several fields of electrochemistry, for example in the research of fuel cells. The potentiostats of the EL series are designed to sink high currents up to 100A/25A at a total power dissipation of up to 300W/100W (EL300/EL101). Both modules may be connected in full cell or half cell schemes. Using an additional external power supply you easily can extend an electronic load of the EL series to a two-quadrant potentiostat, you need for example in the field of electrolysis.

The EL101/300 is controlled by an EPC40, a module which is plugged into an extension slot of the IM6/6e.  Each EPC40 can address up to 4 PP/EL modules. Up to 4 EPC40 cards can be installed in an IM6 system, 1 in an IM6e system. In total, an IM6 is able to control up to 16 EL101/300 devices, an IM6e up to four. Each potentiostat will hold all its values from one control access to the next one so that no potential or current disturbances can occur while scanning the potentiostats. If series measurements are performed with more than one EL module connected, spectra are taken from all modules in a definable order.

The EL series modules are implemented completely in the IM6/6e environment. Thus, all acquisition and analysis techniques that run on these systems can as well be applied with the EL modules. The installation of one or more EL devices will upgrade your IM6/6e to an even more versatile high-current electrochemical workstation.
