Part 1 of this series focuses on high-performance electronic loads for testing power supplies that have low output voltage and high current. It describes the necessity for special electronic loads, ...

If you’re testing a power supply or battery pack, an electronic load is a nice tool to have. By watching the voltage as you crank up the resistance, you can verify the unit’s real-world capabilities ...

The general approach to an electronic load is to use a transistor across the input terminals so the current flows from drain (collector) to source (emitter). A resistance is affected by causing a ...

Having been around since the early 1960s, electronic loads evolved out of the need to emulate real world applications in testing power supplies as well as batteries, and now fuel cells. The first ...

The project is designed to shut down the power supply when it is overloaded. Conventional circuit breaker like MCB based is on thermal bimetal lever trip mechanism. The project is designed to shut ...

When clients call you because operating problems on pieces of their 120V equipment cause them to suspect their facility's power supply, you have to decide where to start your investigation. Don't ...
