DL3021 to DL3031 Conversion Discussion
Pedrofabian:
Installing the missing MOSFETs and control circuitry seems pretty involved but fairly easy.
Now if only we had calibration documentation for these loads.

Tested DL3051A option. Model number changes (*IDN? -> RIGOL TECHNOLOGIES,DL3051A,DL...........,00.01.05.00.01)
On boot it shows error "Self-test error for OCP reference voltag" (after canceling error doesn't reappear until next boot).
Current ranges changed to 9/90A (compared to 4/40A or 6/60A), but max current limit remains unchanged at 70A (same as for DL3021/3031).
Max power setting increases to 500W (compared to 200 or 350W).
Other than that, seems to work, accuracy and functions remain unchanged.
So full mod to 150V/90A/500W DL3051A would require some work with FW (OCP reference?, max current limit) and HW (MOSFETs and driving circuitry).

Did you try resetting the settings again after changing the model? Maybe that would fix the max current limit issue

:clap: Thanks for testing!

Modded DL3031A can get over 200W in CR mode. Keep in mind that in lower 0.08 Ohm ~ 15 Ohm range voltage is limited to 8V (beeps and stops otherwise). Higher range (2 Ohm ~ 15 kOhm) does not have voltage limit.

Reset did not help, limit seems to be hardcoded in FW. Same 70A limit was available for 40/60A versions (i.e. no overlimit under normal conditions).
