Magna Power ALx12.5-500-1250/120SP+GPIB DC Electronic Load

Overview

The Magna Power ALx Series DC Electronic Load utilizes linear MOSFET-based dissipative elements to achieve a wide voltage-current-power operating range within the model's maximum power rating. MOSFETs are specifically selected for their ability to operate in the linear region with safe operating curves well below maximum power ratings. Conservative cooling design ensures long product life with continuous full power operation in environments up to 50°C ambient temperature.

The ALx Series uses closed-loop control circuitry to linearize response, with each MOSFET device producing load current defined by VC/Rn, allowing multiple MOSFETs to share load current equally. This architecture delivers among the industry's widest full-power operating range for DC electronic loads.
