Description

A solid linear british-made Farnell power supply for more demanding jobs.

Two ranges - 30V 10A and 70V 5A.

Note that changing the range switch not only doubles / halves the output voltage, it also changes the meter scale. So it's fairly easy to mis-read it as 25V when it's actually putting out 50V etc. Be careful, or you may fry your circuit sooner than you intended.

Status

Working as of 13/08/2024. Both output fuses were blown but have been replaced on 12/08/2024.

Please report any problems to artag ESPECIALLY if you think it broke while you were using it - I'm interested to fix (or at least be aware of) any fragility in it.

ToDo

  • Soak test

Notes

  • Side panels were sourced cut-to-size from ebay seller sgs132 for about £13 total. These are stainless, aluminium woud have been a couple of pounds cheaper.
