Dummy Load In Depth (and resistors!) [Broadcast Engineering TikTopics]

Back in January 2023, I had a dummy load catch on fire while testing a transmitter. Finally... in August 2023... I have a replacement. Let's talk about dummy loads and resistors! And math! And impedance matching!

When the previous guy has defeated all the interrupt switches, Chernobyl is generally the end result. Oh yeah, that and mice. LOL

I recommend reading "Reflections" by Walter Maxwell. It absolutely changed my understanding about what happens with an impedance mismatch. Fun vid. Keep em coming.

I know you are mainly a tiktok guy, but watching vertical video on a TV is annoying. I can't turn my TV. lol. Nice explanation and graphics. I was hoping you'd stick a camera down the center tube..
