Providing modern electronic devices with a diet of healthy power is not straightforward. Small AC-connected equipment often uses a capacitor-input filter following a half- or full-wave rectifier.

[Kerry Wong] had some extreme MOSFETs (IXTK90N25L2) and decided to create a high current electronic load. The result was a two-channel beast that can handle 50 A per channel. Together, they can sink ...

The power transistor must be chosen to provide fast response while also withstanding high power dissipation. Several electrical and thermal characteristics must be considered: 1. An array of N current ...

Electronics engineers or test engineers developing or testing DC power supplies or batteries use DC Electronic Loads to quickly and easily simulate real-world loads in order to validate the ...

EL30000A DC electronic loads from Keysight provide one or two inputs in a compact bench form factor with a built-in data logger. Units offer 350 or 600 W of power and can be used to characterize most ...

[tinfever] needed a high-power benchtop electronic load for an upcoming project, and by their own admission decided foolishly to build their own. And we’re glad they did. The thing is, whilst this isn ...
