Hello everybody,
I have build a boost converter from 10 to 20V and my load is 40Ohm resistor. which i assume a load current of 500mA. but when run it. the readings on the input power supplies says that the whole circuit is taking around 1.5A or 2A. can anybody tell me why is that ? and is it normal ? does that mean that the components rating for my boost converter needs to be higher ? thank you.
regards,
