AE Techron 7224RLY Power Amplifier/Current Source

Description

AE Techron 7224RLY Power Amplifier/Current Source is designed to meet the demanding requirements of the power utility industry. Capable of outputting a 40 mSec pulse with up to 52 amperes peak current, the 7224RLY is powerful enough to put protection relays, fuses and other critical components through a full range of tests. The low noise floor, low distortion and minimal phase error of the 7224RLY make it the ideal amplifier for power grid modeling.
