March 8, 2019 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rentals and
sales company headquartered in North County San Diego, has published a blog post
explaining how to source the right electronic load for your next project.
Engineers working with power circuitry can use
this post as a guide towards what specifications are important to know when selecting
a load. The post goes over AC loads, DC loads, combination AC/DC loads, and whether
the load will be used for manual or automatic measurements, for testing one circuit
or unit under test at a time or multiple units under test.
Reliable, high-performance DC and AC electronic loads are available from several
manufacturers and are typically characterized as low, medium, and high-power loads.
Mainframes with interchangeable modules to customize a solution for testing are
available, as are programmable loads - which are capable of operating as AC and
DC loads.
Need an electronic load, but still unsure of which type will meet your needs?
Contact Axiom Test Equipment to speak with one of our account managers who will
listen to your project needs and guide you into the right load to fit your requirements.
Rent an electronic load from Axiom Test Equipment - your source for electronic
test and measurement equipment. Axiom rents, sells, repairs and accepts trade-in
of test equipment to support your specific test & measurement needs. If you
would like help selecting test equipment for your project, contact Axiom Test Equipment's
sales department at

Learn More About Electronic Loads
Electronic loads may be somewhat mysterious to some engineers, but they can be
invaluable test instruments in the development of power circuitry. Electronic loads
provide the means to generate precisely controlled electrical power for simulation
and test, with control of key parameters, such as current, voltage, and load impedance/resistance,
to aid in development of new products and in the maintenance of existing products.
Electronic loads come in various forms, including AC electronic loads, DC electronic
loads, and even combination AC / DC electronic loads. Learning more about electronic
loads and how they work can encourage electronic designers to achieve optimum performance
levels from the power circuitry, power supplies, batteries, and fuel cells in their
designs.
Both AC and DC electronic loads provide the capabilities to measure voltage,
current, resistance, and power, whether for AC or DC powered circuits and systems.
Both types of electronic loads provide several operating modes, maintaining one
electrical power parameter constant to study the effects of a unit under test (UUT)
on other electrical parameters, such as constant current, constant voltage, constant
resistance, and constant power. As with other electrical test instruments, different
AC and DC electronic loads cover different operating ranges for their electrical
parameters, and the voltage, current, and power ranges of commercial AC and DC electronic
loads can serve as useful starting points in the search for an electronic load for
an application. In terms of power ratings, most electronic loads convert electrical
power into heat, which must be dissipated, although regenerative electronic loads
are also available in which the electronic load efficiently converts load power
into reusable electric power rather than heat...

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
