DC Power Supply Variable, 0-30V / 0-5A Eventek Adjustable Switching Regulated Power Supply Digital, with Alligator Leads and UK Power Cord

Brilliant product. But I purchased this unit to use as a Hotwire power supply.In the reviews it said it could supply 5amps at 12 volts. Yes in can in course but in fine which is self regulated by unit it can not produce 5 amps at 12 volts.If you are running a 50cm x .25mm wire no problem .just turn it unto 11 and start cutting poly.

The device itself is fine, easy to use, clear display and all the controls work well. I tested against a multimeter and it is the same, so am confident with this. Note if you use it to test guitar effects pedals circuits then you may get some interference from the power supply, unless the pedal circuits are shielded. I think the instruction book would benefit from a proper explanatory text; I know this is a common complaint about Asian-built units' instructions booklets, and I really do wonder why they don't employ a native English speaker (like me), to help them write the booklets. This would not be a great problem and would make a huge difference to beginners in electronics, save loads of time searching the internet and Youtube for sensible explanations (which themselves are not always done properly!!!).

On opening the packaging one of the output terminal knobs was very badly bent out of shape.I cannot think how this passed quality control.However the connection still works and I did not wish to go through the hassle of returning it.

Box packaging is good.Supplied with UK and Europe mains cables, user manual and two pairs of output cables.Power supply is compact and lightweight.Voltage and current values displayed seem accurate.The coarse and fine controls work OK but the layout seems slightly odd.As I’ve only had the power supply for a short time, I can’t comment on reliability.I’ve knocked off one star because there is no output on/off switch, no ground or earth terminal and setting current limit requires shorting output terminal.Otherwise I think it is good value for the price.

generally ease of use, well designed well done manufacturer, happy with price, reliable

Very accuracy !!! and small !!! Excellent!!!

It works, but it has no 'preview' for the settings. You turn on the front switch and it starts outputting power right away. You have to turn it on disconnected to set your voltage, then short the output terminals together to set the amperage- and then you can connect your load.This is literally what the manual tells you to do. It desperately needs a switchable output so you can set your volts and amps before turning on the output.Because of this I can't really recommend it- however, it does work and it does power stuff, so if you're looking for rock-bottom price, this is it.On the plus side, it seems to make no noticeable noise, at least at the 0-30w loads I've put on it.

Great power supply for the price, the cooling fan can be a little noisy but that is the only thing i can fault with this power supply. It was delivered the next day and packaging was really good and kept the power supply safe in transit.Tested it with my multi meter and it was accurate only .1 off on one of the tests the rest where spot on. Its also well built and has a very solid feel to it, seems well made. It also comes with 2 power leads one with UK plug and other European style plug.Overall i am very satisfied with the stability and accuracy.Recommended.
