The General Radio 783-A is an Output-Power Meter introduced in Catalog K3 (1944) that 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
