The Agilent/Keysight 60502A is a programmable 300 W DC electronic load module designed to simulate load conditions for testing and evaluating DC power sources and components. It operates across 3 to 60 V and accepts up to 60 A, delivering stable, repeatable measurements in research, production testing, and incoming inspection environments.
The module supports dual programmable operating modes: Constant Current (CC) with ranges of 0–6 A and 0–60 A, and Constant Resistance (CR) with three selectable ranges spanning 0.033–1.0 Ω, 1–1000 Ω, and 10–10,000 Ω. In CC mode, programming accuracy reaches ±0.1% ±65 mA across the 60 A range. Analog voltage control is available for CC mode operation.
