I want to test an Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) it's a board of MOSFETs and MCU's that drive brushless motors. I want to solder one up to a circuit of some sort and on the other end connect motors and force amperage into it (force may not be the correct term) and see how many amps can it handle. Basically, I want to power test it. I will put a link for the ESC and I don't know if I can hook it up to a PWM signal generator and tell it to go to 100 meanwhile it's connected to a battery or power supply or what, then monitor with an amp meter that can handle 50, 60, 100 amps! The more the better.

A friend said I can purchase this https://www.racedayquads.com/produc...wbsacjFG58-qKgxPv7ekv-KO50riCPvMaAnM9EALw_wcB
and use this to turn the ESC on and off. And then use this: https://www.racedayquads.com/produc...lv8W8Qcp9qL6RL4rdmJ77mVqGOt4l0NAaAg1GEALw_wcB
to see how many amps it is pulling, obviously, i can't use a multi-meter most of them only do up to 10 amps.
The concern was that the ESC would only accept the amount of amps that it can handle comfortably, and then stop. Even at 100 PWM, I want to be able to push its limits and give it more amps than it can handle even if it does blow up, I have plenty of them.
We were trying to figure out what device, load, circuit, like what would actually allow me to put X amount of amps into the ESC and see how it does. Maybe I could monitor the power through an oscilloscope as well.
Hopefully, someone has more knowledge about this subject than we do and can lend some advice on how to pull this off. Maybe it isn't possible, Like the ESC is only going to accept the amount of amps it can handle. There may not be a device or tool or power load that can push amps into something. It may be a supply and demand thing where you offer the voltage and the ESC will produce what i can. But then maybe on the other end, the motor end i can put a bigger motor, or higher KV or a propeller with more pitch to pull more amps. I dunno, looking for some guidance, i really appreciate your time, and help.
Thank you in advance!
