• Repair work that requires a stable DC supply
• Prototyping and development of small circuits and modules
• Educational labs and hands-on electronics instruction
• Hobbyist projects and battery replacement testing

Key specifications

• Output voltage range: 0–15 V DC
• Maximum output current: 3 A
• Adjustable voltage and current controls
• Front-panel analogue/digital display for voltage and current
• Current limiting/protection to prevent overload
• Compact benchtop enclosure suitable for workshop use

How to use

Connect the power supply to mains according to the local electrical standards, then connect the positive and negative output terminals to the device under test ensuring correct polarity. Set the voltage control to the required output voltage and, if needed, set the current limit to protect the load. Monitor the output values on the front-panel display while adjusting. When testing sensitive components, start with a low current limit and increase gradually as required.

Recommendations

Use appropriate leads and connectors with sufficient current rating, verify correct polarity before switching on, and avoid prolonged operation at maximum current to prevent overheating. For safe operation, place the unit on a stable, well-ventilated surface and observe local safety regulations when working with live circuits.
