An array or bank of load resistors is often required for testing power products, characterization of solar panels, and many other applications that require evaluation under various well-defined loads.

It’s an unfortunate fact that a resistor can fail under pulse loads. When pulse power is dissipated to the device’s resistive element, it generates heat and increases the resistor’s temperature.

As the resistors used in electronic applications with low power consumption get smaller and smaller, their pulse load capability is becoming more critical. With continuous pulse loads and single pulse ...

Many electronic circuits are exposed to high pulse loads. In some applications, these occur regularly, such as in pulse-width-modulated (PWM) devices. In others, pulses are incidental, but also ...

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 ...

The mystery of adding LED lights to a modern BMW with CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) electrical system is easy to resolve. The “smart” CAN Bus smells a rat when you pop in an LED brake light or ...
