Dummy load resistors

[Groppo91]

Hi I placed an order for dummy load resistors and was sent 2x of the same 10w 22ohm isn't one supposed to be different?

ah crap yes sorry they are supposed to be different. The 5V would give you about 230mA , so would still be enough for testing. But I will check the store stock I have and what's in my stock here and see what I've done wrong this time :roll: let me get back to you on that one.

Thank you, Also wondering when getting around to using them can I just solder wire to the legs to make longer for testing the psu as they seem rather short compared to the tutorial I found on youtube?

Not sure what video that is, I don't recall ever doing a video. But the resistors I used to a couple years back I used sell had longer leads. So you will likely have to solder a longer wire on them. But you can also use the PSU frame for a gnd also.

Thankyou I received the replacement dummy load resistor for the order.

Thanks for letting me know. I've updated the store image as well with a better one.
