LPS-151. These are TANKS, have like 100uv of ripple. Highly recommended.


I recently bought a piece O' crap PSU for my bench -- I wish I'd asked first! My favorite section of the (barely) 8 page manual (8.5" X 3" page size, with only three pages of text instructions):

! 3.CAUTION:
3.1 This power has perfect current limit protection. When the output is short-circuit, output current should be limit to the maximum spot and will not increase. But the power still loses. The power should be put off immediately and the breakdown should be fixed to make the machine work orderly when short-circuit or overload is happened.

I also like the bit about using a thick conductive wire, "to prevent the unit from inner destroying."

So where might one find a Leader PSU at a "reasonable price"?
