Laboratory power supply Voltcraft PPS-16005 1–36V DC, 0–10A

Bench laboratory power supply Voltcraft PPS-16005 provides an adjustable DC output from 1 to 36 V and a regulated current up to 10 A. Intended for electronics testing, prototyping and servicing, the unit delivers stable voltage and current control with integrated protection features. The compact design and clear front-panel controls make it suitable for workbench environments where reliable power and accurate settings are required for measurements, component checks and device development.

Advantages

The power supply offers a wide output range and high maximum current for a variety of test scenarios, plus precise adjustment of voltage and current for controlled experiments. Built-in protection against overload and short circuit conditions helps prevent damage to both the supply and the connected device. The front-panel interface provides intuitive control and clear readouts, while the regulated output maintains stable performance under changing load conditions.

Suitable for

• Electronics prototyping and development
• Component testing and characterization
• Repair and servicing of electronic equipment
• Laboratory measurements and bench experiments
• Educational workshops and training

Key specifications

• Output voltage range: 1–36 V DC
• Maximum output current: 0–10 A (adjustable current limiting)
• Regulated voltage and current outputs for stable operation
• Protection features: overload and short-circuit protection
• Front-panel controls and displays for voltage and current
• Compact benchtop form factor suitable for lab and workshop use

How to use

Connect the power supply to the mains and switch it on. Use the front-panel voltage control to set the desired DC output between 1 and 36 V, and set the current limit to the required maximum for your device or circuit. Connect the device under test using appropriate leads and observe the display for voltage and current readings. If the load attempts to draw more than the set current limit, the unit will regulate the output to maintain the selected current and protect the circuit. After testing, switch the output off and disconnect the leads before powering down the unit.

Recommendations

Use suitably rated test leads and connectors, keep the ventilation area unobstructed, and avoid exposing the unit to moisture or excessive dust. When measuring sensitive circuits, start with a lower current limit and raise it gradually. For repetitive or long-duration tests, monitor temperature and signs of stress on both the power supply and the device under test.
