Chroma’s Model 6310 is a series of Programmable DC Electronic Load featuring maximum power capacity of 200 W, and parallel load modules in one frame, for testing multiple output SMPS. It offers ...

If you’ve got the hankering to own a lab full of high-end gear but your budget is groaning in protest, rolling your own test equipment can be a great option. Not everything the complete shop needs is ...

The ELR9000 Series offers four common regulation modes: constant voltage, constant current, constant resistance and constant power. The FPGA-based operational controls include a function generator and ...

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 ...

High-wattage resistors often are used as test loads for power transformers. Resistors don’t introduce phase shifts, and it’s easy to check that a transformer’s voltage regulation remains within spec ...

DC-DC converters are the backbone of power distribution systems. Whether for a satellite in space or laptop on your desk, they enable modern technology by transforming DC voltages to levels required ...
