25kW, Forced-Air Cooled Moduload™ RF Terminations
8640B Series, RF Loads are compact high-power 50-ohm loads that efficiently dissipate up to 25 kW of RF over a wide frequency range up to 1 GHz.
Features
- Interlock control circuit provides fail-safe protection of the transmitter and load resistor in the event of an ac power failure to the blower or coolant pump.
- Compact, low-profile design saves space in crowded transmitter sites.
- Available Voltage Options (add suffix to model number).
- 115V @ 60 Hz (-115)
- 230V @ 50 Hz (-230)
- 230V @ 60 Hz (-230-6)
Notes:
- * Below 5°C, ONLY use 35% E.G. and 65% Dist. H2O mixture.
- ** Above 30°C (86 °F) with water only, or 25°C (77 °F) with a 35% ethylene glycol mixture, derate power to 20 kW max.
