This constant resistance dummy load has not yet been tested in the real world. [YS] was inspired to come up with the circuit after reading Wednesday’s Re:load dummy load post. That was a constant ...

One part that I find myself using somewhat regularly in microcontroller-based experiments is the “USB power bank” that provides USB-standard 5-V DC output and offers some basic protection features.

While it might seem counterintuitive on the surface, there are a number of cases where dumping a large amount of energy into a resistor simply to turn it into heat is necessary to the operation of a ...

Testing bench power supplies would require the use of a current build and the best way to have one is to build yourself one. The article shows how a custom dummy load is built. Testing bench power ...

I sold low-power FM transmitters in a former job, and one of the things I learned is that most customers lacked a suitable dummy load for testing. In new LPFM or translator applications, you can save ...

At the NAB show next month, Altronic Research will show its Model 6606/12, a convection-cooled resistor load. The OmegaLine Models 6606 and 6612 are terminators for 50-ohm coaxial transmission line ...

This Generator Test Set, also known as a generator tester, load bank or dummy load, provides a fully controllable load that mimics the real load the generator would see in normal operation.
