A Simple HT Load

[pwdrive]

In the context of this thread and the said device it is what it says, it's designed to load (connect across) an HT line, the one that Alan designed and built is variable in increments to suit, you can use it to check the performance of power supplies (on board or outboard) etc by drawing a low current up to a maximum current from the supply, the maximum current drawn being set by the lowest load resistance connected and visa versa, a handy unit to have.

Mine was the usual homebrewers series strung horse shoe array of wire wound resistors, propped up with a bit of wire so it didn't burn the bench...
