E&I 2500L RF Power Amplifier 50 kHz – 12 MHz 500W
Description
E&I 2500L RF Power Amplifier 50 kHz – 12 MHz 500W is a rugged source of RF power for ultrasonic, induction heating and laser modulation as well as plasma applications. It is a totally solid state solution employing RF DMoS FETs in the power amplification stages, offering simultaneous forward and reverse power readouts, and an RS232 port for data collection.
Flexible Operation:
The 2500L produces 500 Watts of linear class A power over a frequency range of 50 kHz to 12 MHz, with a nominal power gain of 60 dB (±2dB). Operation over the entire frequency range is possible without the need for any switching.
The front panel display provides simultaneous measurements of forward and reflected power as well as the unit’s status. The RS232 connector at the rear of the unit can also be used to capture this data and reset the unit should a fault occur.
The E&I 2500L is a 19” rack mount unit 24.5” high. It employs an integral power supply capable of operation from 200-240 VAC 50–60 Hz.
