I am trying to create a test method and jig to test new power supplies we get to confirm that are indeed capable of the rated Current and Power.
For example we have a new power supply with output of 15-17V 5.00A and rated at 90Watts.
So far I connected the power supply to a few different resistors (3.2 Ohm, 3.6 Ohm and 2.6 Ohm) and connected a multimeter in series to read the current. I got 4.3A, 3.93A and 4.92A respectively. I am not sure how to best confirm if the power supply is capable of delivering 90Watts of power.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
