Magna Power ALx2.5-500-250/UI+EIP DC Electronic Load

Overview

The Magna Power ALx2.5-500-250 is a 2.5kW DC electronic load rated for 500V maximum voltage and 250A maximum current. The ALx Series 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 ensures 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 provide complete control over the full 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 this product class.
