Questions tagged [electronic-load]

An electronic load (sometimes called an "e-load") is a device which simulates an electrical load, often as a way to test a circuit's behavior under various load conditions. Many e-loads can be programmed to act as a constant resistance, constant current, constant voltage, or constant power load.

What is the exact meaning of Load?

I am just starting off with hobby electronics and can't get hold of the concept of Load. Do electrical appliances also "Draw" current. An air conditioner upon start dims the light. My point is that if the voltage difference is not enough to move…

Electronic test load design

I'm considering designing/building a fairly basic electronic load (constant current, but possibly also constant power and resistance). However, after drawing up a few ideas for the basic operation, I got stuck. My first idea was to go the digital…

Why do we need a bench electronic load equipment and can't just rely on a potentiometer instead?

The bench electronic load is a type of equipment defined as "An electronic load designed to sink current and absorb power out of a power source. If a power supply is used to power a device, an electronic load is used to test the power supply by…

Do you think this circuit will work?

I searched the internet and made h-bridge circuit: By combining resistor R5 and R7 are connected to, when I give the pin HIGH, it will rotate counterclockwise when I give it LOW in the clockwise direction. I also shared the PWM pins. I will use…

Am I connecting these MOSFETs in parallel correctly?

I am designing an electronic load for a battery, and I don't want to use a single MOSFET that carries the entire current and has to be bolted to a large heat sink. So, I thought about connecting 3 MOSFETs in parallel to distribute the current and,…
