Alex:
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Chinese ARRAY (rebranded?) electronic loads:
http://www.array.sh/yq-3700e.htm

Any info would be useful!

Short Circuit:
Readings are not very accurate, and PC control next to worthless, clumsy terminals.
But overall, it's very good value for money. Offers various load modes, such as constant current, constant power, resistive.

I stand by the performance of my Itech (BK Precision) IT8511 DC electronic load... it is wonderfully designed and worth every penny if your work requires such a device

bsgd:
I am also looking for a electronic load for my lab, but I dont wanna spend a fortune... if you guys have some nice and cheap recommendations it would be pretty nice!

olsenn:
In my opinion, NEVER CHEAP OUT! If you only need a power resistor for something in particular than that will be cheaper and more reliable than any electronic load, but if you are going to go for a professional tool like that, then you're better off paying $500 for something that will last forever, as opposed to something that either breaks down in a year, or is so pathetic in terms of features and accuracy that you'll end up buying that $500 one eventually anyways, the $150 one will end up in a closet (and never come out again) and you'll have spent $650 for something that you could have gotten for $500.

That being said, if you are hell bent on spending no more than $200, then have a look on ebay; they have an assortment of cheap DC loads.
