The Keysight N3302A is a 150 W electronic load module designed for integration into N3300A or N3301A mainframes, enabling automated testing of DC power supplies in high-volume production environments. The module operates across 0–60 V and 0–30 A with stable operation down to zero volts, delivering precise programmable load control and real-time measurement capabilities. It supports constant current, constant voltage, and constant resistance modes, along with voltage, current, and power measurements. The built-in waveform digitizer and pulse generator enable dynamic load simulation and transient response testing.
