Only in one review: Test current 8.1 A (12 V 60 W power supply); Under load 23.35 V (24 V 60 W power supply); Protection 8.1 A (12 V 60 W power supply).

12 V 60 W power supply: It works normally under overload, but the overcurrent protection trips at an excessively high current.

24 V 60 W power supply: The DIY supply worked after fixes, but initially handled repeated load swings poorly until the optocoupler circuit was modified.
