Hey everyone,
Just joined up for the purpose on learning on how to build stuff!
I am wondering if anyone can give me tips on building a Dummy Load Box. I use them at work to simulate Wireline to test oilfield tools. We have one already but need a couple more and I am just seeing how hard or easy it might be to do it myself.
A typical wireline is about 80 Ohm of resistance with about 3000 meters of single conductor wireline.
The tools we use need anywhere from 120-200 DCV and reaching only about 80 mA.
Let me know if you need more info on the wireline and tools!
The dummy load box looks like it has five 10 Ohm resistors and I think they are capacitors? connected to them as well. They are all on a single board and you connect them through standard UHF connections.
Im just don't know to much about resistors, I know you can get different wattage in resistors but have no idea what the wattage in a resistor means. Nor I have any idea how a capacitor works in this case. Thanks to all that read, replay, and help me out!
