Selected User Reviews For Electronics-Salon 200W 5 OHM High Power Wirewound Potentiometer, Rheostat, Variable Resistor.
There are a bunch of wall warts in my house. It was important for me to know how much voltage and current they provided, so I built a box to test it. There is only a resistive load, so their dynamic behavior cannot be checked, but it's a start. I have two 2 ohm resistors in parallel at the bottom of the chain, so I can use the voltage drop to determine the I can measure the current using a voltmeter and an oscilloscope. I can adjust the pot so the current is equal to the rated current of the wall wart. In my experience, very few of my rated voltage, rated current computers supply their rated voltage. Thank you so much for constructing this for me. Despite the fact that it's a pot, it seems sturdy enough to last a long time.
A big, heavy machine that does the job.
