(dʌmi loʊd)
Word forms: (regular plural) dummy loads
noun
(Electrical engineering: Circuits, Electrical power, Computing and control)
A dummy load is a resistive component that absorbs all the output power of an electrical generatoror radio transmitter in order to simulate working conditions so that a system canbe tested.
A dummy load is needed for controller testing, so you don't have to spin up (and possibly damage)a real motor when testing controller designs.
A dummy load, as the name implies, acts like a real load as far as the supplying equipment isconcerned.
