I would be very happy to win PSU for my work.
A massive upgrade from my garbage eBay PSU. Gib.
That's a sweet power supply. I'd love to have one.
I'm nearly at the point of building my own. While R&S have a proper knob and settings buttons, I always liked the old hand crafted metal adjustment dials. Changing the voltage on a DC supply should feel like cracking a safe.
It would be nice to finally have a power supply that lets me control the current.
If it's got blinky lights and stuff, I'd love to have it on my bench.
Everyone loves a giveaway!
those power supplies are awesome.
I would have liked to see how the CC mode reacts when the voltage is on the cusp of triggering it to activate.
Hi Dave,
I know this was not a full review, but any chance you can test current overshoot too when doing power supply reviews?
Cheers,
Anthony
Those constant current mode overshoots are a major fail!
Oy. I wonder how it reacts to load impedance changes when in CC mode.......
I'd LOVE to have one of these!! The videos are always great! The power supply would help in my troubleshooting and fixing of classic arcade stuff.. PacMan boards and the like!
What is this brown adhesive tape used to attach transistors to the heatsinks instead of fastening them with a screws?
I've seen that before, seems like some new technology. How is it called?
If this is a permanent thermal conducting adhesive tape, then how do you unglue it to replace a transistor?
Oooo pretty, Shinny , would go great in my home workshop
The fan starting at high RPM is by design. It is used to reliably start it up, because if you try to start it at low power, the degraded lubrication or degraded bearings may hold the fan and it won't rotate unless maximum torque is applied. Once it started rotating at full speed, the RPM could be safely reduced.
The same algorithm is being used in servers and workstations.
Been teaching myself analog design while fixing up some old HP supplies, starting with a 721A, on to a 723A, then to an E3610A. The leap from those to this R&S is pretty nuts in some ways but in others it’s obvious that linear design hasn’t changed a ton since the 721A came around in 1958.
Also, seeing some basic characterization processes was helpful. I’ve mostly been focused on setting up a good PARD test environment so this was a good reminder to look at overshoot too. I recently picked up a 6060B DC load to replace my home-made loads and I’d love to put an R&S supply through its paces once it’s all set up…
This would have been handy to have before I bought my HP 6626 to put in series for 200 V total! Smaller and not to mention quieter. Of course it's just a tad more expensive.
sure, why not... could use a 2nd linear psu.
can work around those overshoots... quality components inside, nice transformer... looks good to me.
count me please, need PSU for my hobby
It's been a long while since I posted something, but I wouldn't mind winning one of those.
Can always use a new power supply...
