Origin Artag
Location Ground Floor, Electronics area

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.

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
  • Replace output terminals (replacements need trags redrilling - WIP)
  • Place in usable location (maybe under the solder oven, on a stand, with nice long thick DC leads added).

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.
