    Jig (tool) for testing PSU's?

    Hi all,

    I just signed up on this site... I know that a P.S. must be tested 'under load'...

    one told me there is a 'jig' available at low cost, that provides a load for the P.S., and indicates performance by LED's... prob a 'quick', not 'deep', diagnostic tool, but it is all I have need for right now... have looked for, and have not found, such a thing...

    Can one point me toward it?

    Thanks in advance, for any and all responses...

    regards... dnorm

              This below is
              NO substitute for a "real load" and a "real meter"
              but if you want a quick way to kick one over and get an idea of whats happening

              its not bad

              https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2856

              there are LED versions, but like I said only as an indication, don't take what they say as being true that the supply is ok

              there is another thread going on building dummy load setups

                  Serious load for testing ATX PSU`s would be at least about 100w to 200w. I think a PSU who can give out that amount of power, would probably not the culprit.

                      Testing ATX PSUs under load - Does loading the ATX 24 pin also load EPS & PCIE?
                      by AJ847.63e
                      Hi Folks,

                      Just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding of mine (or what I expect is one). Isn't the 12V rail from the 24 pin, EPS and PCIE separated? IE if I put a power resistor on the ATX 12V pin that is not going to load, thus tell me if the EPS or PCIE rails are fine?

                      I was recently watching ArIs from Hardware Busters video on how to properly test ATX PSUs without using 5 figure Croma substations.

                      The PCB adapter he used breaks out the 12, 5 and 3.3V pins from the 24 pin and gives you banana plugs to connect to. That is a bit useless is it not? Aren't...

                      Some New Preliminary testing of 21700 Tool battery cells to 2.00
                      by sam_sam_sam
                      I decided to try a new approach to testing unbalanced battery cells with my battery testing machine that has more graph curve information and it looks like if you discharge them to 2.00 volts if the battery voltage does not come back to over 3.something volts you have some kind of issue with that battery cell

                      I going to do more testing and see if is the case or not

                      More to come later

                      Load Testing Audio PA Amplifiers
                      by dicky96
                      Hi, one of my customers who rents out equipment for events and carnivals asked me to make a passive dummy load so the can test amplifiers under full power without causing noise problems to other nearby businesses.

                      He wants 8 ohm and 4 ohm loads, originally he asked for 8 ohm 500w resistors, and I said we could use two resistors in parallel for 4 ohm 1000W

                      Then I found these cheap power resistors on Alibaba. It says they are 'Braking' resistors, but they seem to be suitably rated for my purpose
