Ok to use a serious battery charger as a DUT, for testing an Electronic Load?
<< < (2/2)
Kleinstein:
It should be OK with a proper fuse in between. Its there to protect the charger and shunt in the E-Load in case the MOSFET blows. So maybe less than 10 A would be better - just a littler high than the current the load can stand.

It's usually better to have one fuse more in the circuit than needed.

Kleinstein, thanks for the help!

I did the test, using the battery charger. I had no problems. I did add the extra in-line fuse.

Why don't you share your results/measurements, if any? Some may be interested in your findings and performance of your load.

Good suggestion and I did just that, on the e-load thread, listed above. I hope you will join us, there. Thanks!
