Correct, my dummy loads are for testing DC power protection circuitry.
I intend to have two dummy loads in the same "can" with each
consisting of four 8 ohm 20W wirewound resistors (Radio Shack
specials) connected in parallel making it two 2 ohm 80W loads. Each
load has its own binding posts so connecting in series gives me 4 ohms
and in parallel gives me 1 ohm allowing for 1, 2 and 4 ohm selections.
Maximum dissipation is expected to reach around 1KW for short
durations. Duration can be such that using the resistors as is,
without the oil, is not an option.

I built the DL Saturday gone. Works fine, gets hot but no smell. Got
the mineral oil at a CVS pharmacy (USA) around the corner, something
like $8.00 for a quart. Thanks!

How many babies does it take to make a quart?

Depends on how hard you squeeze them, and on the bright side, it is all
virgin oil, unless they are Catholic babies.
