Designed specifically for automotive, military and aerospace BCI EMC testing, this mismatch tolerant Class A amplifier delivers power continuously into the varying match typically associated with this type of testing.

The Class A push pull design ensures a high reliability, low distortion linear performance across the frequency range. This design also ensures that the amplifier will continue to operate at full power even when presented with an open or short circuit at its output.

The unit is powered from a switched mode power supply for high efficiency, high power factor and wide voltage range operation. The unit is air-cooled with integral fans, and is protected against faulty cooling by excess temperature sensing. Two safety interlock connectors are provided, one to short for interlock and the other to open circuit. Front panel indicators are provided to indicate over-temperature, standby and operate and RF interlock operation.
