Amp Output Testing

[anatech]

Hi mickeymoose,
Have you measured the hot and cold resistance?

2x400W/110V IR heaters in parallel: At room temp. 19.2 Ohms, after 1 hr. 19.8 Ohms, approximate heater temp. 350 deg. C at that time. E

ps: Please correct your wife: Just because you can, you must!

Ops, mea culpa. The heaters tested are 300W/110V, not 400W/110V. E

Hi mickeymoose,
Looks like you need a bunch to put in parallel, or some higher rated ones that have a lower resistance. The standard load is 8 R, with 4 R being used for car amps and the better home / MI amplifiers.

Don't ask me, I bought the proper ones.

I'm going to test some heater elements from a toaster oven. I did a quick test and it seems to be relatively stable but I want to make a video of it so perhaps ill post that here as private for now- tommorow I will see about that. Not too sure of the wattage from that but I guess all will be shown shortly...


Thank you Micky for taking the time to post your results and findings here!!
