Oil-Cooled
10 kW Series RF Loads
The 8930 Series RF loads are designed to dissipate up to 10 kW of continuous power from DC to 1 GHz. Available in standard and ultra-stable VSWR models, each unit combines oil-dielectric cooling with a built-in forced-air blower, ensuring reliable thermal performance during long-duration, high-power operation—without the need for external cooling infrastructure.
Ideal for semiconductor RF generator calibration, transmitter testing, reject loads, and system tuning, the 8930 Series supports both lab and field environments with rugged construction, low VSWR, and flexible 115 V or 230 V AC input options.
