Review conclusionRecommendedRecommended

Only in one review: Voltage 12 V (EPP-100-12); Power 100 W (HCA-100); Efficiency 89 % (HCA-100); Temperature rise 110 °C (HCA-100).

HCA-100: High efficiency, low ripple and excellent voltage stability; recommended with practical output limited to 70–80 W.

EPP-100-12: The PSU performed well, delivering up to 7.5 A for an extended test without cooling, though brief ripple spikes reached 175 mV.

Figures were taken from the review text and checked against the quoted passages. Measurement conditions differ between reviews, so read the reviews yourself before buying. Prices at the time of review.
