Amp Draw of Hot air station..
« on: September 08, 2019, 01:09:02 am »
Is it my imagination or did the lights dim when i got to 350 degrees Celsius..

I really need to find out what the amp draw is on the 862D+ at those temps..
Siglent SDS 1202X-E - Heathkit IO-4105 - Dr. Meter 0-30v 5a power supply - 862d+ combo unit - Weller WLC100 - Kunkin KL283 DC load. Not much gear yet.

It is normal for the lights to dim and brighten as the heating element turns on an off. I think I measured current draw of about 10 amps.
