Default Re: Temporary load for power supply testing

Somewhat more sophisticated is a length of stainless steel thin wall tube between a couple of hoses with water flow through. Electrical connections can be via big crocodile clips or a bit better, worm drive hose clips.

Don't forget to turn on the water..... hoses blowing off red hot tube in a cloud of steam is a bit lairy

5l/min water and 60C rise is good for 20kW.
