PLU-6k Loading Unit
T&R Test Equipment PLU-6K loading unit for the CU-Ps primary current injection system, giving up to 6000 A for 5 minutes and 12 kA for 1 second in parallel mode.
The PLU-6K is the higher-rated of the two loading units for T&R Test Equipment's CU-Ps primary current injection test system, alongside the PLU-5K. The CU-Ps control unit handles all metering, timing and tripping, while the loading unit delivers the high current output. Because the loading unit is compact, it can be placed close to the test object to keep lead lengths short.
Output is continuously variable from zero, and the unit has two outputs that can be connected in parallel or series. In parallel mode (0-3.3 V open circuit) T&R rates it at 3000 A continuously, 6000 A for 5 minutes on and 15 minutes off, and 12,000 A for pulses of 1 second or less. In series mode (0-6.6 V) the figures are 1500 A, 3000 A and 6000 A.

Product overview
It connects to the test object with T&R high current lead sets, such as the 6000AL leads (2 m, 1120 mm²) rated for 6000 A and 12 kA in pulse mode. T&R notes that currents above 3000 A need very short leads. The unit is built in a steel case with castors and handles, weighs 135 kg, and includes a duty cycle trip and thermal protection.

Questions about this part
Where can I buy the T&R Test Equipment PLU-6K?
Not on our shelf today. Z Power Electric sources this part through independent, surplus, and new-old-stock channels rather than waiting on the factory queue, and confirms price and lead time within 24 hours. Z Power Electric is an independent MRO supplier in Calimesa, California — we buy outside authorized distribution, which is why we can quote parts that a standard distributor shows as unavailable.
Is the T&R Test Equipment PLU-6K discontinued or obsolete?
Manufacturer lifecycle status changes by part number and region, so we confirm it per quote rather than publishing a claim that may be out of date. Either way it does not change what we do: we source discontinued, obsolete, and backordered parts as a matter of course, and the quote states whether we located the original or are proposing an equivalent.
How long does it take to get a quote on the T&R Test Equipment PLU-6K?
We respond to every sourcing request within 24 hours, and the quote states a confirmed ship date rather than an estimate. Mark the request urgent if the part is holding up a line.
Is Z Power Electric an authorized T&R Test Equipment distributor?
No — and that is the point. Z Power Electric is an independent supplier, so we are not limited to T&R Test Equipment's authorized channel or its order book. We source through surplus, new-old-stock, and independent inventory, and we state the condition and source channel of every unit on the quote.
