Magna Power ALx2.5-200-600/UI+GPIB DC Electronic Load

Overview

The Magna Power ALx Series DC electronic load utilizes linear MOSFET-based dissipative elements to achieve a wide voltage-current operating range within the model's maximum power rating. Using proven heat management technology from Magna Power's programmable DC power supplies, the ALx Series provides reliable operation with continuous full-power capability in environments up to 50°C ambient temperature.

The ALx Series uses MOSFETs operated in the linear region to allow full power and complete control over the entire VA rating. Closed-loop control circuitry enables multiple MOSFETs to share load current equally, delivering among the industry's widest full-power operating ranges for its product class.
