Or just for current carrying capacity - 1milliohm at 50 W = 223A
New media/NAS server - still a couple of items to go but enough to get started
An 8700k NAS???
I guess so, maybe adding in a Titan V and populate all RAM slots. A few Intel 900P for storing movies and a 40Gbps QSFP+ NIC are absolutely necessary.

As I don't have any plan on it yet, series with car's battery, wonder if this is enough say coupled with scope at the sense wires to capture car's engine motor start up current ?

I wouldn't trust that they'll meet original tempco specs later though without some checks.

Thanks, as I expected, since as datasheet stated its capable of maintaining the +/- 0.1% tolerance up to twice the watt rating, and up to 5 seconds. Also up to 150C for 2 hours at the same tolerance.
5 seconds is more than what I need, as I just want to take a scope single shot during the motor cranking up and starts the engine, that should be way under 5 seconds right ? Did I miss anything ?
That's a pretty good spec IMO.
Don't know what I was thinking and changed previous comment down to 100% (double the rating).
If it not a diesel that have a higher draw you should be good to go.
Looking forward to the scope screenshots !

Minor compromise on some items given availability/price, we'll see how it goes.

Just use a clamp meter, it's easier ...
After all a happy end:
I now have an Agilent 6063B 0-10A,3-240V 250W DC Electronic Load in nearly mint condition to be used.
It was offered on *bay as "the 120V-Version".
I guess that's why I had not much competition on that auction and won it for 167EUR.
And it was indeed the 120V version. -But it's easily convertible to 220V/240V by switches inside -what I did.
Happy. Addiction satisfied once again
That's a great deal! I guess lots of people don't read the manual prior to purchase. That's a good thing.
That seems like massive overkill for a home NAS. I guess maybe if you also use it for other things it makes sense.
Nice looking case.
A NAS has been on my list for a while. I have 8 SATA drives in my PC and an external and most of it is not shared. The plan is to move to a NAS for everything except OS and Games which will go onto SSDs.
The downside is NASes are either weedy, plagued with nonsense software or really expensive.
Building my own is a nice idea. I tried a Raspberry PI. It just can't cut it under heavy interactive load like browsing video thumbnails on a smart tv would just lock it up with 12 fileserver threads hitting it simultaneously..
So I understand the want for some power too An i7 ... a little overkill though.
Scooped up a lot of precision resistors from eBay.

I am certain URI outbid me for the 6063 I too was shocked noone else was bidding on the unit so I thought I was going to steal it at $150...nice ctach mate, Im kicking myself!

I bought myself a Fluke 289 today. I've wanted 1 for a while now and finally pulled the trigger today! I should get it Monday or Tuesday so looking forward to that!
It's funny how we talk ourselves into "really" needing these things! Electronics is a very expensive hobby that could very easy get out of hand if your not careful......
