Lab Power Supplies

G'day,

We are currently looking into buying a Lab Power Supply. I'm wondering if you guys have any buying advice (brand, features to look for, etc). We need it fairly soon, so we need it to be a store in Australia (where we live). We were looking at ~$300 - $400 AUD. The amperage has to be 20 at least, and the voltage from 1-15V. Currently limiting would be fairly essential.

An example of a product which appears to fit our criteria was this:

If anyone has any advice, suggestions, or other products they think would fit the bill, I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks,

John

    RP are well stocked and have quite a few models around that price range, up to 60A. Alternatively some around $250 with the specs you mention

    I like the ssp7080's, because they can be paralleled via terminals at the back, and don't take up much room when paralleled. So we can separate out on multiple benches, or bring them all together if we need more current or lots of different voltage rails.

    Wavecom (Adelaide) also have some nice PSUs, some can be controlled over usb or serial, but not sure whether they go to 20A

    Thanks! I really like Radio Part's stock. I think we'll end up getting one of those.
