A Simple Method for Measuring Steady Currents of Brief Duration
Ralph D. Bennett · Review of Scientific Instruments · 1941
A method is described for the point-by-point measurement of volt-ampere characteristics of substantially resistive circuit elements at currents and voltages well above those which the element can tolerate continuously. Only standard indicating instruments are used. Examples are given of the application of the method to the measurement of diode and triode characteristics under overload conditions.
