I have two of those precision power supplies. They are really precise. Amazingly precise. There are better deals to be had, you can definitely buy one of those for about $50 in so-so condition, or you can of course buy a broken one you have to put some work in. They are heavy, if you have them shipped it would add another $50 or so to it. The transformers inside are beefy. Instek makes nice power supplies, get GDP-3303S, it's very easy to use and has three channels, look at the resolution. 0.000... Going back to HP... there is a certain quality and coolness to it. Those are really nice power supplies. There is a reason they are called "precise". You can really dial in the voltage you want. And it's an HP... at the top of it's engineering. You open one of those and you gasp with amazement. They are just beautiful inside. So, all depends on what you are looking for, is it ok with you to have analog dials.... do you want some digital readout, do you need more than one channel... maybe one of the E36XX series would be better choice, they are more compact and equally precise.. and a lot lighter. There is so many possibilities, maybe look at the HP system power supplies and just move the binding posts to the front.... the world is your oyster. Do you need a precise power supply at all... maybe you just need a bench power supply. Get one of the GPC-3020, they are so cheap you can't go wrong and they work. Two of those and you set.... but I'm telling you there is something about those HPs.... |
