I was looking to put together a cheap and cheerful resistive testing load, using 50 watt power resistors. 6 x 2.7 ohm resistors, so just over 300 watts. I would plan to switch in 50 watt increments up to the maximum value.
And I would use forced air cooled cpu heatsink, that can handle 150 watts each. So using two heatsink. Using relays to switch the loads in and out.
Can anyone see anything wrong with this idea, it's not critical for tolerances or presicion, more a quick testing load instead of using halogen lamps as I've been doing.
Thanks for reading, any feedback appreciated.
