How It Is Used
Used as a controllable lab rheostat, the bank is connected across a generator, battery or power supply and its resistance is stepped down to draw more current. Readings of terminal voltage and current at each step show the regulation of the source and help in stress-testing circuits.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Loading Rheostat 3KW Bank cooled?
By forced air from built-in fans through a ventilated enclosure, with an over-temperature cutout that trips if the bank gets too hot.
