Failure mode: Ballistic
🕑 Added 2018-02-27 13:36:37 +0000 UTCGot the bipolar switching power supplies and didn't think about how much power I was putting into that poor resistor. I think it was rated for something like 10W ...

I've done that.. The resistor remained hidden for months

I don't see what the problem is .. I mean clearly you've managed to extract the wires that were in that aluminium enclosure just fine ?

You'll be shouting about full bridge rectifiers next 😂

I don't think cooling is gonna help with the extra 260 watts 😂 Glad you're ok!

Or a brain that warns me when I'm about to do these things :)

I like it. Cleaned out that aluminum case quite easily.

I would really like to not build an electronic load just to test these power supplies ... <a href="https://youtu.be/VluTD-0ogF8" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/VluTD-0ogF8</a>

Maybe the resistor was just faulty... try the other one too! ;)

You may need a blast shield
