Dummy Load

  • 1W-5kW RF Coaxial Dummy Loads are avaiable.
  • A dummy load is a device used to simulate an electrical load, usually for testing purposes.
  • In radio a dummy antenna is connected to the output of a radio transmitter and electrically simulates an antenna, to allow the transmitter to be adjusted and tested without radiating radio waves.
  • In audio systems, a dummy load is connected to the output of an amplifier to electrically simulate a loudspeaker, allowing the amplifier to be tested without producing sound.
  • Load banks are connected to electrical power supplies to simulate the supply's intended electrical load for testing purposes.
