Electronic DC Load using TLE2141

₹3,040

The circuit shown here is a low-cost electronic DC load designed to sink current from a power source. This test equipment can be used to test power devices such as power supplies, chargers, solar panels, and batteries. The board is built using op-amp TLE2141, LM385 provides the reference voltage. Resistor R11 acts as a shunt resistor and provides load current feedback to the op-amp, potentiometer P1 is provided to adjust the load current, and D1 is the power LED. A 10-turn Potentiometer is provided for fine current adjustment. The user may use a single-turn PR1 trimmer potentiometer. The load current range is up to 2.5A, and the project can handle higher currents with large-size heat-sink and forced air using a Fan. You may use a 0 to 5A Current Meter in series to measure the load current.
