Magna Power ALx20-500-2000/240SP+GPIB DC Electronic Load

Overview

The Magna Power ALx Series DC electronic load uses linear MOSFET dissipative elements to achieve a wide voltage-current operating range within the model's maximum power rating. The ALx20-500-2000/240SP+GPIB delivers 20kW of power dissipation at 500V and 2000A, with distributed DSP architecture and conservative cooling enabling continuous full-power operation in ambient temperatures up to 50°C.

This model features 16-bit digital programming and monitoring resolution, multiple control modes (voltage, current, power, resistance, shunt regulation), and IEEE-488 GPIB connectivity for integration into automated test systems.
