Hey Guys,
Built this dummy load device from 100W alloy heatsink resistors from ebay.
Bolted them to an alloy heat sink with thermal grease and a 12v fan.
Anyway, the thing works great but at 28A for about 1 minute with 16pcs 100W 20 ohm resistors connected in parallel to a 36V pack the resistors heat up to about 75c
Is that a temperature range that these resistors can tolerate?
