300W DC Load: Korad KEL2010 or Tonghui TH8402A ?
(1/6) > >>
nctnico:
I'm contemplating on getting a DC load to replace my Agilent N3301 which is quite large and with it's 600W rating it is overkill for many jobs that I have.

So I went looking around to see what kind of DC loads are out there. A hard requirement is to have banana jacks on the front. The Korad KEL2010 and Tonghui TH8402A caught my eye. Specs are in the same ballpark although the Tonghui has more functionality and in my mind Tonghui is a higher quality brand compared to Korad.

Tonghui:


Korad:


A dillema with a purchase decission is that I can buy the Korad locally but the Tonghui is only available from Aliexpress. So if there is something wrong with the Korad, I can return it and/or get support. If there is something wrong with the Tonghui, I'm left with an expensive doorstop. And then there is also the more expensive (and bigger) Tonghui TH8202A which has 3 measurement ranges and might be more suitable for dealing with low currents.

I have not been able to find any reviews so it is hard to tell which one is a good buy. Has anyone tried one of these loads?

I Have a multicomp (but it's a Korad). I made a review of the Sigelnt SDL too (in it's thread) so if you want a dedicated measure/feeback  let me know.

I'd get a Rigol DL3031 and add banana to spade adapters to the terminals if they are that important.
I'm not recommending Siglent here as I have one (SDL1020) and it gives me random startup boot errors.

The price for the DL3031 is about twice of that of the Korad / Tonghui for similar or even better specs.
