Questions tagged [electronic-load]
An electronic load (sometimes called an "e-load") is a device which simulates an electrical load, often as a way to test a circuit's behavior under various load conditions. Many e-loads can be programmed to act as a constant resistance, constant current, constant voltage, or constant power load.
