Did you check continuous current sinking capability of 40A? I guess it gets pretty hot over time and may even fail after a while? Already many cheap electronic Loads have 4 wire measuring, a shame this one has not. This is a must for an el. load!

I wonder why no manufacturer just produces a flawless product. I mean the flaws are most times pretty obvious after all and their removal wouldn't even add much to the overall cost of the product. I bet if one manufacturer would finally pay attention to every detail and don't create a product thats only 98% perfect and leave the other 2% completely untouched for no apparent reason, they could position themselves way ahead of others on the market.
"I wonder why no manufacturer just produces a flawless product." Because that requires thought and attention to detail and a couple of seconds of extra time. Something Chinese don't seem to have.
I agree that fixing the majority of these issues should be a small effort on their side. They even get free advice/feedback on these most of the time. But most of the time they don't even respond to emails. Why they don't get it right the first time? My guess is that they just don't see these issues the same way we look at it. Why they don't fix it after feedback? My guess is that there is a huge language barrier.
Hard pass on that one. IMO, any DC load that doesn't have remote voltage sensing is a waste of bench space. Unfortunately, there just don't seem to be any really good quality DC loads available at low prices. I think the Maynuo units are about the best value on the market if you need precision, accuracy, remote sensing and a decent PC remote control application. I've had a Maynuo M9812 for several years and I like it a lot. Getting it delivered from the lying, cheating Chinese seller was an enormous hassle, but the load is nice.
It has automatic compensation, but it is not shown in this video. It calculates wire resistance. Works fine, I've used it. No need for remote sensing with 4 wire. The downside is you need to recalibrate every time you change the wires. Also a constant voltage source is required. By default it tests at 0,5A and 1A, but it can be changed the values, that how it calculates wire resitance and display accordingly.
@@modorangeorge4991 "The downside is you need to recalibrate every time you change the wires" So not really 'automatic compensation' then if it is going to require user input each time the wires are changed.
what is the deal with those Electronic loads and their softwares ? Why is it impossible to find those software for this one or the KP184 ? Is there anybody who can write a simple program that use the datas from those machine ?
You could buy a cheap screen protector out of matte plastic film for a phone and cut it into size then you will get rid of the glares I did this to a 7" screen before in my car stereo :)
It has it, but the author of this video does not know how to use it. Also the ranges can be switched easily pressing I_R and V_R buttons, which the author does not know also.
Great video!
I purchased one of these recently and one of the mosfets died in the first month. Replaced, now working. Firmware V1.01.2303.019.
Pretty decent unit. HUGE thanks to you for NOT making an idiotic unboxing video!!!

Very nice and first impression review. It would have been eevblog worthy if you had measured the actual performance in more detail :)
Nice video, as usual. Aaah, those MOSFET pins, could they not cut it shorter!
I know, right?
Too lazy to bother. Takes 5 seconds, if that.

Did you ever get a chance to test the software functionality?
The loudspeaker of my ET5410a+ was defective and after switching on and off 20 times the mains switch was defective !

I've been looking at a Maynuo for years.. The thing is, the electronic loads I already have, even with their caveats, still get the job done.

They could've junked the USB/RS 232 and provide 4 wire functionality.
3.6 amps?
I don't know, did I say something wrong?
Oh I see now 🙂
@@voltlog did you really never see the mini series? 3.6 = not great not terrible, is a meme
@@TMS5100 I did, but it was a long time ago.

Yup, I've done that before and it does work.
Would you give a review score of 3.6?
Depends heavily on budget, if this is all you can afford, it doesn't matter what score you give it.
@@voltlog Google: "not great not terrible" and you will see why you are receiving 3.6 comments :)
@@misterg4548 oh, I see 🙂
Atorch has good electronic loads just the cheaper models don't come in an enclosure
Yeah atorch is good if your budget is sub $50 and you are willing to roll the dice.
No remote sensing is a deal breaker for me.
