The HP/Agilent 60504A is a 600W DC electronic load module engineered for precision testing of power supplies, batteries, and power components. Operating across 3V to 60V input with load currents to 120A, it delivers constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), and constant resistance (CR) operating modes. The module integrates into compatible 6050A and 6051A mainframes via GPIB interface, enabling automated characterization, dynamic load testing, and comprehensive power measurement with extensive protection and status reporting.
