robp823 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 just curious to hear what some of you guys use for load testing??Any pictures of your setups would be cool. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Currently, (pun intended) I am using a sealed beam headlight for most testing but this only draws about 3-4 amps. I'm considering a 1 ohm, 10 watt resistor with a 194 bulb (or so) across it. The resistor will flow about 12 amps and the bulb would give visual indication of current flow. Conversly, one could simply measure the voltage dropped across the resistor to figure circuit integrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I think it really depends on what you're load testing. A carbon pile, blower resistor, ballast resistor,headlamp,test light, etc. can be considered load testers on some circuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
