AE Techron 7548RLY Power Amplifier/Current Source
Description
AE Techron 7548RLY Power Amplifier/Current Source is designed to meet the demanding requirements of the power utility industry. Capable of outputting up to 100 amperes peak current, the 7548RLY 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 7548RLY make it the ideal amplifier for power grid modeling.
