The Keysight 60502B is a 300 W DC electronic load module engineered for testing and characterization of DC power sources and power components. Operating across 3 V to 60 V with maximum current of 60 A, it delivers precise load emulation through constant current, constant voltage, and constant resistance modes. A built-in programmable transient generator (0.25 Hz to 10 kHz) enables dynamic load simulation with user-defined amplitude, frequency, duty cycle, and slew rate parameters. The module mounts as a single slot in Keysight 6050A and 6051A mainframes and provides both manual front-panel control via LCD meters and full remote operation through GPIB with SCPI command compatibility.
