Additional Information

Overview

A DC power supply output a direct-current voltage that can be used to power electrical components and circuitry. The CSI3003X has three outputs, two that provide variable DC voltages in addition to a constant 5 volt and 3 volt output.

Capabilities

Max Voltage

This tool can output a maximum of 30VDC 

Max Amperage

This machines has a maximum current output of 3A parallel or 6A in series.

Dual Output

This machine can provide two independent voltage sources.

Materials

The Benchtop Power Supply can be used to power any small project that draws less than 3 amps. It is an invaluable resource when working on a new project or repairing old electronics.

PPE

No special PPE is required to work with the Power Supply. Always take care to zero the voltage before turning on the Power Supply.

Safety Features

The Power Supply is protected by current limiting. If a circuit attempts to draw too much power, an internal fuse will blow.
