I am measuring if one of the off the shelf power supply our customer has meets its ratings, I connect a electronic load @ 5V - resistive and it was working upto the 20A that it was rated for, then I wanted to measure the 12V which was rated for 10A but the power supply does not start if I have the knob on resistive, it works only on inductive. Can someone tell me the why 1 voltage works with resistive and 1 with inductive load only? Thank you in advance for your answers.
