- All, I just won a rackmount, 5kW termination load, with peak reading wattmeter off ebay. The load was made by Sierra Electronics, division of Philco. The model is a 400A-Z. I'm now looking for a manu

- Does not look to be able to handle 5KW rms, maybe peak pulse only. I have the Palstar DL5K. It is quite a bit larger and has two large fans to help keep the two huge resistors cool. The resistors are

- Keith, That could have a couple of resistors that size in it as I'm familiar with the Palstar load. The cabinet is about 4" high, and a good bit deep so it may have two large or say 4 smaller ones in

- You must be thinking about some other unit. The DL5K is 9"W x 8"H x 14"D and weighs 12 pounds. If you buy a new one you will have to take the cover off to remove the packing materials before using. T

- Keith, No, I didn't mean the Palstar was 4 inches high, the Sierra one is about that and a rack cabinet type. The Palstar has a higher cabinet as you say. The two resistors are about 2" O.D., and abo

- Dave, That's ok as no more than I have in it, I'll rip out the small load resistor and replace it with a load bank that will fit in the cabinet. The peak power meter and rack cabinet was worth the $9
