Serves as high-current solid-state-resistor load for testing power supplies before use, to determine voltage and current under load. Darlington configuration of transistors reduces power-dissipating requirements of pot. Use large heatsink for 2N3055s because they must dissipate almost 200 W when powersupply is delivering 15A at 15V.-E. Fruitman, The Smoke Tester, 73 Magazine, Nov, 1976, p 159.
