First you set Vout unloaded. Then you put a DMM in series 10A scale current measuring mode between plus out PSU and active load's red binding post. Black post directly connected to zero out PSU. You turn the active load's pot until you read 4A. You will not be able to measure & trim Vout for long before the little board sinks get very hot at such high constant current so beware. You could start with setting less test current like 1A. To see output cables Vdrop also measure Vout at load side.
OK I try without jumper, thks.No jumper at all is maxed out
Behaved well till 1.5ARe:load 2 dummy was 12W rated I think? 1.5A at 20V is already 30W so you scared it off. More amps it can soak only on smaller Vout tests.
Thing is how your freshly made L-Adapter behaved. Did it show indifferent behavior up to 1.5A?
What, the primary AC fuse you mean? 1.5A-2A slow blow for 120VA 230VAC Tx.I think I need to change the fuse for the power tx, 240VAC (mains) / 120VA = 2 + 10% tx efficiency & multiply x 2 = 8.8A?
The fuse manufacturers in their recommendations don't specify transformers shape they just categorize by primary voltage and VA capability.
Up to 400VA for less than 600V primary voltage single phase transformers they say +300% their primary current for SLB fuse value.
Primary current is VA/VAC primary. From 500VA to 2kVA they relax the recommendation to +170%. For more huge they say +125%
