The Keysight (Agilent/HP) N3302A is a 150 W DC electronic load module designed for use in the N3300A and N3301A series mainframes. It provides constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), and constant resistance (CR) modes for comprehensive testing of power supplies, batteries, and other DC power sources. As a modular load, it operates in a multi-channel environment, making it suitable for automated test equipment (ATE) and manufacturing systems.
