Re: Voltage Output of Victors vs. Jaguars

If you wanted to test and compare the two controllers without the noise induced by a motor, you could use a 10 ohm, 25 watt resistor. It would give you a light load, but enough of a load to give you good data. Here is the simple math.

E/R=I 12volts/10ohm = 1.2amps
I*E=P 1.2*12= 14.4watts
or
(E*E)/R=P (12*12)/10=14.4

The resistor will get fairly hot, so watch your fingers!
