Electronic Load Project Part 1

waelect

Hi Everyone,

 

This is a project that most people including myself have been wanting to do for a while. I would firstly like to thank for the inspiration to actually get off my ass and start the project.

 

As I am slowly delving into the world of Video Blogs I have decided to take this project online to document my progress along the way. Similar in principlle to what other blogs are and looking at expanding the project further to create a more complex controllable solution like PC control or Embedded control (more likely).

 

For the beginner this should be easy to follow,for the advanced I think I oversimplified the concept a bit too much.

 

The beginning starts here:

  • Hi Malcolm and Peter,

    I too am building a DC load. I have my schematics and have breadboarded and bench tested the subsystems of my design. Since I do not have the extensive knowledge that you have it will be a bit of luck if my design works properly. Fortunately my needs are fairly simple so it will probably be adequate. If it works as planned I should be able to cover the range of 3 to 35 volts and up to 6 or 7 amps. I have a planned a system that adds current limiting power resistors as the voltage is increased so that the active device is not stressed at the higher voltages. I am taking pictures and making notes and I planned to write a blog when I have a working unit. I began working on this back in February, inspired by Peters Power Supply Build. Thanks to both of you for the ideas and inspiration.
