As part of a power electronics design project involving a 3.6-V dc-dc converter, it became necessary to test and accurately characterize the planar transformer shown in Fig. 1. Transformer operating ...

Like most engineers, I have used dummy loads spanning DC through RF, and from a few watts to hundreds of watts. Most of these loads were built up from basic resistors, and in some cases special ...

Testing DC supplies can be done in many ways, from connecting an actual load like a motor, to using a dummy load in the manner of a big resistor. [Jasper Sikken] is opening up his smart tester for ...

I sold low-power FM transmitters in a former job, and one of the things I learned is that most customers lacked a suitable dummy load for testing. In new LPFM or translator applications, you can save ...

Figured this was the best place to put it.<BR><BR>I'm making 50 ohm RF dummy load with resistors. So I'm using 0.5W metal film resistors in parallel, a fair few of them.<BR><BR>I have 49.9 ohms ...

I'd like to ask if it's safe to use a PSU to just power CCTV Cameras and recorder (which uses 12v) without using a computer. (are there things i should watch out if i do this like using dummy loads ...
