We have been looking for a cost effective range of 13.8VDC bench/Lab power supplies for some time and are happy that we have finally found them. These good looking power supplies are available in three current capacities of 5 amp, 10 amp, and 20 amp. They use proven technology and are designed to give long service life in workshop situations. The range features short circuit protection on the output and a fused input. Voltage regulation.

Average quality at best... avoid.
Delivers Rated Current, But That's It - Buyer Beware! While this supply meets its stated current output, the positives end there. The build quality is concerningly poor. My unit arrived with transformer leads and rectifier diodes simply poked through the PCB, not soldered. This required a significant rebuild before use. Critically, it lacks essential safety features like overvoltage or crowbar protection. A pass transistor failure would likely destroy any connected equipment. Furthermore, ventilation is inadequate. Under a 10A load (far below the advertised 20A continuous rating), the case reached a scorching ** 80°C. Verdict: Avoid unless you're looking for a DIY project.This supply is poorly constructed, lacks crucial safety features, and overheats significantly. Save your money and look elsewhere.
stopped working
overload protection in the unit i have has failed some components have burnt-out, trying to find parts on the board (labels) do not match circuit diagram, a very simple design of regulator circuit would of been better, other then all it had worked well, this failed from a bad device going in short-circuit
