Hi Ian,
if my brain has not been a BSE fail the original value is 120 Watts over
10 minutes and 2 minutes with 1kw. But - a high change in resistance -
negativ dir, mine came to 33 Ohms after a while. I put a radial fan on one
side and plenty wholes of the opposite. Now the dummy consumes 1kw continous
and 2.5 kw shortly a couple of minutes (dark red) without exploding hi.
Hope this helps
73, Uwe, DL9NC
