Hello everyone!!
I had been designing a power supply (switching/linear) and needed to test its load regulation. I thought of using power resistors..but eh too big..not really elegant.
So I came up with a solution: its a variable constant current 'dummy' load. I designed a quick pcb for it and now I have several copies of it.
IF ANYONE WHO HAS/WANTS TO BUILD A POWER SUPPLY SHOULD HAVE THIS IN THE TOOL BOX.
If interested, pm me using my username here.
ADMINS: Give this thread a day before moving it to the FLEA MARKET sub forum. Not everyone goes there and I feel its important that ppl should know that they have an alternative other than power resistors for dummy loads.
