Axiom Blog: Ease the Loads When Testing AC/DC Sources

Ease the Loads When Testing AC/DC Sources - RF CafeAxiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that informs people about the versatility of an electronic load. When an AC or DC supply must be evaluated, during design or even for maintenance, an electronic load provides much needed capabilities. Electronic loads provide insights into how the power source behaves under different load conditions for AC or DC power sources. By keeping an electrical parameter such as voltage, current, power, or resistance fixed, it can measure voltage/current or power/resistance under constant-voltage (CV), constant-current (CC), constant-power (CP), and constant-resistance (CR) conditions. Starting the search for an electronic load usually begins by understanding an application's requirements, for AC or DC testing...
