I want to load test my power supply and see how it holds up.
If you have any ideas or suggestions on how to do this I would be very grateful.
Thank you

Re: Load test Power supply
Buy a couple of inexpensive headlights and wire them together, high and low beams, should need about 10+amps to fire them up.

Re: Load test Power supply
It is a 20 amp regulated 8 amp continuous with an amp meter, I just swapped out the main transistors and wanted to load test it. Copy on the headlights,Thanks MD.Windwalker 1 wrote:What size power supply is it ??
