Hello,
I'd like to build my battery pack with cell fuses. I can look at tables to choose the best wire gauge but ultimately, I'd like to test it with real current. The idea would be to flow an increasing current in the fuse wire to test two things :
- it does not get too hot under normal load.
- it fuses quickly enough when reaching a high current.
Do you know of a schematic of a circuit to generate an ajustable (0-40A) current ? I guess I could use a pack of battery as input but I'd need something to limit the current to the required value.
