Zero-Ohm Load

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

In Search of the Zero-Ohm Load High-wattage resistors often are used as test loads for power transformers. Resistors don't introduce phase shifts, and it's easy to check that a transformer's voltage regulation remains within spec at different rms currents. The effect of various primary tap and secondary loading combinations also can ...
