One of the bench projects has been to put together a dim-bulb-tester .
My variac is lower power than I would prefer for this project - so spending money there , and elsewhere to build .
Most of my variable power supplies are DC .
Another piece of equipment for the bench [ future ] variable AC .
A friend gave me a Kepco M36-15 , volts 0-36 volts , amps 15 , it has a crowbar system [ not sure what it can do etc. ] but the idea of connecting to shielding on boards - heat up as little as possible to remove , vs. using hot-air station & disturbing other components etc.
Not sure if a powersupply with " crowbar " is capable to repeatedly performing this ?
If the crowbar in powersupplies could be used as part of a dim-bulb-tester ?
I have limited space , so getting as much as possible out of as little [ space ] as possible ?
Mostly as a hobby , and retirement supplementing income
