Magna Power ALx20-500-2000/208SP DC Electronic Load

Overview

The Magna Power ALx Series DC Electronic Load is an air-cooled, programmable electronic load utilizing linear MOSFET topology to achieve a very wide voltage-current operating range within the model's maximum power rating. Using advanced heat management innovations, the ALx Series ensures long product life with continuous full-power operation in ambient temperatures up to 50°C.

The ALx Series uses MOSFETs operated in the linear region to allow full power and full control over the entire VA rating of the product. Closed-loop control amplifiers enable multiple MOSFETs to share load current equally, delivering exceptional stability and linearity across the operating range.
