Magna Power ALx12.5-500-1250/240SP+GPIB DC Electronic Load

Overview

The Magna Power ALx Series DC Electronic Load utilizes linear MOSFET-based dissipative elements, enabling a very wide voltage-current operating range within the model's maximum power rating. The conservative cooling ensures long product life with continuous full power operation in environments up to 50°C ambient temperature.

Technology

The ALx Series uses MOSFETs for power dissipation, delivering among the industry's widest full-power operating range for its product class. MOSFETs are operated in the linear region to allow full power and full control over the entire power rating. Control circuitry operates in a closed loop to linearize the response, with multiple MOSFETs sharing load current equally through synchronized control amplifiers.
