[Swansea Hackspace] bench power supply

[Andy Davies]

Hi 

What other components would I need to have if I had this https://www.amazon.co.uk/voltage-converter-switch-power-supply/dp/B0197PNKJG/ref=br_lf_m_basujxxaeroo5oa_img?_encoding=UTF8&s=electronics :

1.  a digital readout of voltage and current
2. fixed current output
3. variable volts and amps

Cheers

Andy

I am pritty sure PSU ripple will not be visible.  

It's going to be in KHz range.
Probably burst not fixed rate 

Anyway 
You will still need a few Ohms resistor.
And 500uF will soak that up.

  just had a look at the PSU, (would not load on my phone ?!!?!?!)

  Looks suitable for you, BUT the current is ONLY adjustable with a screwdriver, !!!!!

  I would recomend Farnell / RS / CPC etc not ebay ..

  72-2695 -   Bench Power Supply, Linear, Adjustable, 1 Output, 0 V, 60 V, 0 A, 2 A  is £77 and from Farnell..



  have not checked the specs,


  but from Farnell, you can get refund / swap if it goes BANG.


  From eBay WHEN it goes BANG you are screwed !!!

    Hi Ceri

    I have three of these types for 6V (for powering a flashgun, 12V (for stepper motors and LEDs)) and 24V (for a stepper motor on a linear rail.

    I’m looking for something that is a complete unit such as https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Adjustable-Linear-DC-Bench-Power-Supply-0-50V-0-3A-Variable-CSI5003XE/222258220290?epid=1542954192&hash=item33bf9f4d02:g:H9sAAOSw5OpZr-V8

    but it is really important that no flicker shows up on the video at a shutter speed of 50fps.

    Many thanks

    Andy

      That's a high voltage !!!!!!! 

      A simple current source circuit will work the best for LEDs 

      One of my first jobs was KRAZY high power LED lighting designer 

      If you can get a 40 or so Volt PSU.
      then easy circuit. ..
      But I do recommend a protection resistor too

        PS It is also important that it does not induce flicker in the light as I will be shooting video with it.
