Water-Cooled
50 kW RF Loads
The 8770 Series provides reliable, high-power RF termination in a compact, water-cooled design. Built for continuous 50 kW operation, these loads are ideal for transmitter and transmission line systems where space is limited and thermal efficiency is critical.
Using a hollow resistive film element, the 8770 Series converts RF energy directly into heat, which is absorbed by internal water flow—virtually eliminating ambient heat and allowing for flexible, position-independent installation. With low VSWR and non-radiating performance, it’s a dependable solution for long-duration use in high-power RF environments.
Why RF Experts Choose Bird
For over 80 years, RF professionals have trusted Bird loads to deliver unmatched stability, low VSWR, and rugged reliability—whether on the bench or in the field. These aren’t just terminations—they’re peace of mind for your entire system.
