    Costa, Matheus Mulherchen Golz, Damasceno, Klaus Malone Martins, Nepomuceno, Erivelton and Tofoli, Fernando Lessa (2023) Modeling and design of a low-cost constant current electronic load. 2023 15th Seminar on Power Electronics and Control (SEPOC). pp. 1-6.

    Abstract

    Electronic loads are very useful tools for various applications in an electronics laboratory, but their high cost and lack of precise mathematical representation in the literature is a significant limitation. In this sense, this work presents the design and modeling of low-cost direct current (dc) analog electronic load. Design recommendations are presented in terms of a comprehensive design procedure. The related equations are presented, giving a broader understanding of the principles of operation. Three distinct test scenarios are analyzed, whereas the equipment relies on low-cost components.
