The General Radio 783A is an Output-Power Meter introduced in 1944 Catalog K3. It remained available through Catalog Q 1961.

The 783-A is acts as an adjustable load impedance, with a voltmeter calibrated directly in watts dissipated in the load. It can safely handle 100 W at audio frequencies. It can be used to test amplifiers, transformers, oscillators, filters, and similar networks.


CAUTION: This device contains asbestos.

Specifications

  • Power Range: 0.2 mW to 100 W in five ranges.
  • Impedance Range: 2.5 to 20,000 Ω.
  • Power Accuracy: ±0.25 dB at full-scale reading. Overall frequency characteristic of power indication is flat within ±0.5 dB from 20 to 10,000 Hz; within 0.75 dB to 15,000 Hz.
