Hello all,
I am in the need of a 1Kw, or a little higher , dummy load.
>From my own early business I have still a few boxes ( 2000 each ) of metalfilm
>resistors on the shelf.
Thought it might be possible to use them in serial /parallel combination to set
up a 1 Kw 50 Ohm dummyload. Since those resistors where delivered on rails of
2000, guess it would not be that difficult to replace the tape by a heavy wire
or copperstrips.
Knowing that Zt = R + jX and we only need R, jX need to have a value very near
to zero. ( not frequecy dependent
My question, since I dont dispose of the needed measuring instruments , is
there some one out there who had this nasty idee before. What about the jX
value of a metalfilm L and C. Did someone messured these values in a real
application. I should want to know before going any further, if someone
realised this approach, and what are the results?
Thanks for a shout.
