[sdiy] Load testing dual PSU

[Rob Spencer]

Hi,

I've recently developed a +-12v PSU, with +5v and post voltage protection and am looking to do some load testing. I know I could stick a low resistance across it but that's going to get very hot very quickly. The other thing I'm thinking is to place some 12v light bulbs across the rails and leave it running for a few days with temperature monitoring in place on the voltage regulators.

I'm wondering how other people have tackled this in the past.

Cheers

Rob
