The 8730 Series Econoload™ RF loads provide a compact, low-VSWR solution for dissipating up to 10 kW of RF power in high-performance transmitter and transmission line systems. Designed for direct water cooling, these non-radiating loads absorb heat efficiently with minimal ambient rise—enabling flexible installation in tight or thermally sensitive environments.
With broadband performance and a required flow rate of just 4 GPM, the 8730 Series is ideal for long-duty, high-power RF applications where cooling efficiency and compact footprint are essential.
Broadband, low-VSWR load for non-radiating, high-power transmitter testing.
Efficiently removes heat—ideal for enclosed, space-constrained, or thermally sensitive environments.
Mounts in any orientation with just 4 GPM of potable water flow.
Find the right RF load for your application—side-by-side technical specs across Bird’s trusted termination solutions.
Accuracy, protection, and lasting performance—Bird loads deliver where it counts. From convection to water- and air-cooled designs, each is built to absorb full RF power, minimize VSWR, and perform reliably in the toughest environments.
