The load control rheostat is used in starting the engine and in controlling the load applied to the engine by the dynamometer during steady state operation. The rheostat controls the current to the ...

Power resistors, rheostats (variable resistors), and other electrical loads are useful for testing power supplies and regulators. Though functionally equivalent to a mechanical rheostat, electronic ...

As part of a power electronics design project involving a 3.6-V dc-dc converter, it became necessary to test and accurately characterize the planar transformer shown in Fig. 1. Transformer operating ...
