10 kW, Forced-Air Cooled Moduload™ RF Terminations


8630B Series, RF Loads are high-power 50-ohm loads that efficiently dissipate up to 10 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)

The 8640A930-1, Load Protection Switch provides an added layer of safety for the water-cooled Moduloads by preventing RF power from reaching it before proper coolant flow has been established. This device protects the Moduloads from damage that can result in costly downtime. Only Available for 8631B, 3 1/8 in Flanged Units
