When a large number of drivers / LED bulbs are tested, some could be shorted from inside.

This can damage the electronics testing equipment.

The below illustration explains how to provide short circuit protection.

 

 

Image 1: Connection diagram of  5 Watt led bulb with testing equipment.

In the above example, a LED bulb is being tested. The power strip is used to power the DPA-1 

(using the black power cord). Also, the Red/Black wire is used as input power for the LED bulb.

 

 

 

 

 

Image 2: Connection diagram of incandesent bulb with testing equipment. 

We have provided short circuit protection by connecting  incandesent bulb (100 W) in series, which has low resistance.

Have a closer look for the series connection on incandescent bulb

 

 

 

 

Image 4: Just see that we have shorted the load by wire. What happens?
