Magna Power ALx20-200-4800/208SP+GPIB DC Electronic Load

Overview

The Magna Power ALx20-200-4800/208SP+GPIB is a 20kW air-cooled DC electronic load that utilizes linear MOSFET-based dissipative elements to deliver a wide voltage-current operating range. The unit features the MagnaLINK™ Distributed DSP Architecture and provides continuous full-power operation in ambient temperatures up to 50°C with integrated cooling innovations for extended product life.

This electronic load supports multiple control modes including voltage, current, power, resistance, and shunt regulator. Remote programming is accomplished via SCPI API with integrated front and rear full-control connectivity through USB, RS485, dual MagnaLINK ports, and IEEE-488 GPIB interface for comprehensive system integration.
