Current Load for Boost Converter

[Chiranka K]

Hello Guys,
I was working with a boost converter which boost 24V to 48V, and was designed for 50W of power. I wanted to test the output of the boost converter for different current load.
1. I wanted to know how to develop a current load for this.
2. How does the boost converter behave under different current loads.

Thank you

Current regulated load.....you can buy them, or just use say a linear regulator and regulate the current in a MOSFET, say...use an opamp to drive the gate of the fet, and a sense resistor to feed back the current...use a reference into the opamp to set the current. Make the ref variable so you can have varying load current.
