Welcome to a new InTheMail, the series that will touch both your passion for electronics and your bank account at the same time. We’re gonna start with this kit of silicone hook-up wire, I was running out of thin silicone wire so I thought it would be a good idea to try one of these kits. The one I got is 26AWG, 6 different colors, each about 9m in length.

Voltlog #61 – Dummy Load Special
This episode will be taking a look at different dummy load models, these are all purchased either from ebay or from banggood so they’re easy to get and inexpensive. I just wanted to show them together and make a bit of a comparison just to help you understand the differences between these models so that you can choose the model that will fit your needs best. I have 5 dummy loads in total, starting from $5 a piece up to $20 a piece.
There might be slight variations of these available for purchase , some might come configured for different maximum power dissipation, some might have enclosure but those are all details that you can figure out on your own. Today I’m just going to point out the major differences and features of each one.

Voltlog #41 – 60W Dummy Load Mod 20mA to 999mA
This video is about the 60W dummy load discussed in episode number #38 and #39 and if you haven’t watched those two videos I recommend you do, there will be links below. In this video I am doing a mod to change the range of the dummy load from 0.2A-9.99A to a new range of 20mA to 999mA.
Voltlog #39 – 60W Dummy Load Reverse Engineering
In this video we’re discussing the dummy load again but this time I reverse engineered the dummy load schematic and I discuss it’s basic theory of operation. Check the video description for a link to the pdf schematic.
Voltlog #38 – 60W Dummy Load Review
In this video I am doing a review of the recently purchased 60W Electronic Dummy Load. I go through the different operating modes, a short stress thermal test and in the end I am presenting a conclusion whether or not this is a good buy.
