Home Lab Equipment: Making sets of Power Resistors

Home Lab Equipment: Building sets of Power Resistors

Having two sets of 4 power resistors with 1,2,4,8 and 10,20,40,80 Ohm is a very useful addition to a electronics lab at home.They can be built quite inexpensively in many shapes and forms using bargain offers on heat sinks and resistors.
This video shows two different builds with their pros and cons. I also run through tests to see how much power can each build take.

The video mentions a program that I used to calculate all possible combinations of each resistor set and the best combinations when using two sets together. This Python program and a text file with the output can be downloaded from
