Re: Small Dummy Load


 

This is my attempt.? Different design due to different scrap material in the garage and SMA scavenged from some unidentified thing from the club junk box.? 100W element.? Dimensions are 35x35x15mm.??







By itself 10W is about the limit as it gets HOT.? Attached to a scrap CPU heatsink the hottest part gets to 70C at a continuous 100W, so well within the 100C limit from the datasheet.



The cover was left off for the tests so the resistor flange temperature could be measured.

Thanks for the prompt into action!? Nice to do some mechanical stuff.
