dummy load

There are also dummy loads for power supplies, known as load banks.

In other equipment, a dummy load is provided when the headphones are not connected.

Of course, when you get them off the shelf, they have a dummy load in them.

It's slightly inaccurate to call them dummy loads, because they're much more than just dead weight on your wings.

At the end all fields are absorbed by a dummy load or cavity losses.

Both of us sported blue-painted dummy loads rather than the real thing.

The radio energy that is absorbed by the dummy load is converted to heat.

Additional accessory kit MK-288 includes adapters and more dummy loads.

A dummy load is a device used to simulate an electrical load, usually for testing purposes.

A dummy load must be chosen or designed to tolerate the amount of power that can be delivered by the transmitter.

"It's a dummy load," Duffy said.

If a transmitter is tested without a load, such as an antenna or a dummy load, the transmitter could be damaged.

The Load setting enables using the Hot Plate as a pure dummy load, with no guitar speaker.

The ideal dummy load provides a standing wave ratio (SWR) of 1:1 at the given impedance.

Some effects pedals internally produce power-valve distortion, including an optional dummy load for use as a power-valve distortion pedal.

Dummy loads are commonly used in HF to EHF frequency circuits.

Giving the armory clerk some nonsense cover talk, and with my back to Heller, I signalled for an 800-kilovolt blastick, specifying a dummy load.

Veterinarian-grade mineral oil, an inexpensive source for mineral oil, is frequently used by amateur radio operators as coolant in RF dummy loads.

Similarly, dummy loads may be used to simulate impedance without simulating propagation, and is used in situations where propagation is unwanted.

Here on Terra, its output meter, operating through a dummy load, showed not the slightest inclination to leave the bottom peg and seek a home among the higher brackets.

"It was set up to be launched from the shore, but I'll bet the catapult guys can rig it for a launch from the cat as a dummy load."

Pushing a guitar amp to such an extent can destroy components of an amplifier whether using an isolation cabinet, dummy load, power attenuator, or conventional guitar speaker cabinet.

They refuel with the extra petrol which Morris has taken at the last minute as he had the wind up instead of a dummy load of 500 lbs of firebars.

When testing audio amplifiers, it is common to replace the loudspeaker with a dummy load, so that the amplifier's handling of large power levels can be tested without actually producing intense sound.

A very small low-power dummy load such as a ceramic power resistor or 10-watt light bulb can be attached to the supply to allow it to run with no primary load attached.
