Magna Power ALx15-1000-450/208SP+GPIB DC Electronic Load

Overview

The Magna Power ALx Series DC Electronic Load utilizes a linear MOSFET topology to achieve a wide voltage-current operating range within the model's maximum power rating. Using heat management innovations developed for high-density programmable DC power supplies, the ALx Series ensures long product life with continuous full power operation in environments up to 50°C ambient operating temperature.

Key Features

• MagnaLINK™ Distributed DSP Architecture
• 16-bit digital programming and monitoring resolution
• SCPI Remote Programming API
• Multiple control modes: voltage, current, power, resistance, and shunt regulator
• Wide voltage-current-power operating profile
• Integrated front and rear USB ports, RS485, and dual MagnaLINK™ ports
• Digital plug-and-play master-slaving for multi-unit systems
• Programmable protection limits
• Configurable external analog-digital user I/O
• Designed and manufactured in the USA

Technology

The ALx Series employs MOSFETs operated in the linear region for full power and control across the product's entire VA rating. MOSFETs are specifically selected for their linear region operation and safe operating curves well below maximum power ratings. Closed-loop control circuitry linearizes response and enables multiple MOSFETs to share load current equally.

Applications

• DC power supply testing and validation
• Battery discharge testing and characterization
• Power converter and inverter testing
• Renewable energy system evaluation
• Telecommunications equipment testing
