| How to test negative power rail with electronic load |
| (1/1) |

Hi all, I've got a XHDZ-FZ-2D electronic load module from eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-1V-100V-Constant-Current-Source-Electronic-Load-Board-50W-Max-6A-Power-Tester-/232419643651 and wondering if I can use it to with a negative voltage. The DUT is floating so can I just reverse the leads on the load input terminals? The schematic for the module are here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4zALdueXAxdcm1jSWt6Tm9TZXc/view |

Yes, it can be used to test a negative supply. No, don't reverse the terminals. Connect the positive to the 0V rail and the negative to the negative power rail. |

Thanks! |

dont forget to add heatsink to the fleabay module, it can burn out pretty quick for higher load.. |

I have it for quite some time actually; it's in an enclosure with a big heatsink attached to it so no worries. |
