Voltlog #108 – 150W Electronic Load Review

I never expected this electronic dummy load to be so bad because I kinda liked the way it’s built and how it looks. Unfortunately it’s way out of spec on the measurements and also has some firmware bugs.

Voltlog #82 – DIY Adjustable Analog DC Electronic Load

In this episode I am building an analog adjustable dc load with parts easily obtainable from ebay and banggood.

I was able to push mine up to 60W dissipation, but it is recommend to stay under 50W to protect the mosfet.
