The characteristic of the electronic load is that the load current can be set and varied in a defined range.

Settings and measured values such as input voltage and actual load current are indicated on a display.

Another advantage is that the load current is split among the n phases of the multiphase converter.

Type D - trips between 10 and 20 times full load current.

This starting current is typically 6-7 times greater than the full load current.

Even normal load currents in the neutral might generate hazardous voltage drops.

The load current is equal to the average diode current ().

Such a situation arises when the supply only delivers a small direct load current.

Some sort of protection is needed against excessive load currents or short-circuited output conditions.

Other important specifications include the internal water tank size and materials and full load current.
