[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 ...

Problem: your electronic load works fine, except for the occasional MOSFET bursting into flames. Solution: do what [tbladykas] did, and build a water-cooled electronic load. One can quibble that ...

DC electronic loads have been available for electronic testing applications for several decades. Today’s products include switched resistors, high-speed active loads utilizing power semiconductors, ...

EDN Labs (well…the part of it in my basement) has always been a bit short on power sources (and even shorter on electronic loads). A 5A buck-boost module recently caught my eye, and I’ve decided to ...

Electronic loads have found a variety of applications ranging power converter testing to current modulation. A large range of power sources can be tested using an electronic load from converters, ...

The type and number of electronic loads in customer facilities are truly the cause of a growing number of power quality (PQ) problems. Inevitably, the increasing complexity of these loads — further ...
