Abstract
Designers are developing high power gyrotrons for the next generation of electron cyclotron heating systems. Testing of both the gyrotrons and the systems require loads to dissipate the RF power produced or transmitted. Designers are developing 2 MW gyrotrons for long pulse or CW operation. This presentation describes development of RF loads capable of safely dissipating 2 MW of RF power continuously.
