The heart of the device that [Kerry] designed is based on 6 power MOSFETs, a few operational amplifiers and an Arduino compatible ATmega328p microcontroller. Sense resistors are used to measure how ...

How do you deliver constant power when the load impedance isn't constant? That problem arises, for example, in trying to maintain a warm LCD display on an outdoor gas pump in cold climates. As the ...

The circuits in Figures 1 and 2 show how you can emulate a constant-power load for cases when a simple load resistor is unacceptable. For example, using a simple resistor as a load is unacceptable for ...

Actuators and sensor systems sometimes include a resistive load that requires a controllable, constant-power drive, regardless of the load's resistance value. If that value changes with operating ...

Some projects are both educational and useful. We believe that [Jasper’s] Arduino based electronic load is one of those project. [Jasper’s] electronic load can not only act as a constant current load, ...

It is crucial to comprehend how the electric load reacts to changes in the supply voltage, especially when voltage reduction is now being utilized more often by utilities as means to reduce electric ...

The input stage of an off-line power converter usually contains an LC averaging filter. A common practice is to damp the LC filter using additional reactive/dissipative components. In this article, we ...
