[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 ...

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, ...

First, the easy choice: How to power the buck-boost converters. They need at least 18V in order to supply full current output at 32 V. Note that I can’t use a common supply for the modules, as input & ...

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 ...

[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 ...
