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 ...

As part of a power electronics design project involving a 3.6-V dc-dc converter, it became necessary to test and accurately characterize the planar transformer shown in Fig. 1. Transformer operating ...

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.

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 ...

The sound produced by any given electric guitar is shaped not just by the instrument itself but by the amplifiers chosen to make that sound audible. Plenty of musicians swear by the warm sound of ...

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.
