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 ...

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 ...

While it might seem counterintuitive on the surface, there are a number of cases where dumping a large amount of energy into a resistor simply to turn it into heat is necessary to the operation of a ...

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 ...

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 ...
