Load Protection Switch

8640A930-1, 3-1/8" Flanged RF Load Protection Switch provides an added layer of safety for the water-cooled Moduloads by preventing RF power from reaching it before proper coolant flow has been established. This device protects the Moduloads from damage that can result in costly downtime. It also simplifies the protection method by no longer requiring a connection between the Moduload’s interlock terminals to the RF Sources being measured.

The Bird Protection Switch is an easy-to-use device that efficiently enhances the level of protection for Bird Moduloads.
