开云体育Thank you Don, your blog is a treasure trove, you are a fine artist as well. The last time I saw an illustration like this, was in a 19th century sciense book: Question: how can I make up a 50 Ohm 10W dummy load,? for the B40 out of easily available resistors?? The store don't have 50 Ohm 10W or 2x 100 Ohm 5W resistors here. 73! George VE7WQ Wednesday, February 21, 2018, you wrote: DCvGI> More to come. DCvGI> Have fun! DCvGI> -Don, ND6T |
Use a multiple of 50 with and additive amount of watts.?Put them in parallel and you'll have 50 ohms at 10 watts. Example: 5 times 50 = 250 ohms each, 5 times 2 watts each equals 10 watts. Example: 20 times 50 = 1000 ohms, 20 times 1/2 watt each equals 10 watts. Kirchoff's Law is your friend. Also don't use wire wound resistors. They're inductive. ? Sent from Yahoo Mail.

Yes, what he (Thomas) said! But keep them close, no big runs. Unless you are going to feed full CW into it for a long time, go for less power dissipation.5 watts will do for 10 PEP SSB continuous. Even less needed for shorter times. Best of all, experiment!
And thank you VERY much for the kind words! Best 73, Don |

开云体育Thank you Thomas, just to be sure,? using 5 pieces a 250 Ohm 2W composite resistors in parallell, will make a 50 Ohm 10W dummy load. Right? 73!

Yep, but just for fun try nine 470 ohm resistors and one 1.2 K ohm resistors in parallel. All should be 1 watt or better. ? Sent from Yahoo Mail. On Wednesday, February 21, 2018 8:31 PM, VE7WQ <v@...> wrote: Thank you Thomas,

开云体育Thank you Dexter, it's getting better and better all the time.? I'll delay my shopping for a while :) 73! George VE7WQ Wednesday, February 21, 2018, you wrote: DNM> All above, plus ease of procurement: 20 x 1000 parallel = 50 ohms, 20 x DNM> 1/2 = 10 Watts. Matrix 4x5 for least lead length. |
It's workable, (lotsa work though!), but at that stage, the area of the thing becomes antenna-like. I can remember my elmer, (RIP Walt), demonstrating how a shielded air-cooled dummy load could be heard for a block with a portable transceiver. It was very directional, but still...
