Stand for testing the load capacity of power sources.
The stand consists of a DC-DC converter, with a load variable resistor connected to it, rated at 3.3 ohms (bottom left). Voltmeters are connected to the input and output of the converter. An ammeter is connected in series with the load resistance. Testing is carried out at an input voltage of 12 V, output – 5 V, until the protection of the power source is triggered, or up to a current of 10 A.
