Artificial Resistive Load (326X)
Cost-effective, Portable Light weight Artificial Load Box
The TESCO 326X Artificial Resistive Load (Catalog No. 326X) is a modernized, field-ready load box designed for metering and utility testing environments that require a single, fixed 50A
resistive load. Built on the same design principles as the 326P, the 326X provides the same rugged construction, portability, and reliability—now optimized for applications requiring a
consistent, high-current load.
Weighing only 13 lbs., the 326X is one of the lightest artificial resistive load devices available, making it ideal for utility field personnel who need dependable 50A load performance
without the bulk of traditional load boxes. The unit supports multiple voltage inputs and retains the durable fieldfocused design TESCO is known for. As with all TESCO field instruments, the 326X is engineered for long-term reliability under real-world operating conditions.
