Alternatives for Peaktech 6226 Power Supply (0-30V/0-10A)
« on: May 19, 2023, 09:06:06 pm »
Hi,
We have more than a dozen of the mentioned power supplies in the company, they are cheap, can provide high current up to 10A and they are built very slim.
Whether in the lab or test bay, they are everyone's favorite.... 8)
We had bought the first ones in 2019/2020 and now some are starting to go crazy:
The rotary encoder for the voltage, it is really used umpteen times a day and now seems to be at the end, if you turn slowly (because you want to increase/decrease the voltage slowly), the voltage "jumps" up and down - Very bad for sensitive electronics....
New (possibly "better") encoder get and install is out of the question, much too uneconomical.
Therefore, the question in the round:
Are there alternatives to the Peaktech, but which are better quality, last longer ?
10A and 0-30V it should be again, more voltage gladly.
May also be more expensive than 120€(cost of the peaktech)...
I had already googled a few times, but except the Peaktech as well as umpteen other NoNames nothing found.
Gladly just post examples, I do not know when I can implement this, but would fall back on it when the time comes.
Thanks in advance!

Korad KWR102, it's a switcher tho but noise level is low for a switcher. Acoustic noise is kinda high at high currents and more expensive ~ $370, build quality seems good and small narrow footprint.

Best,
