Review conclusionRecommendedWith reservations

Only in one review: Current 8.5 A (68 V 600 W power supply); Under load 62 V (68 V 600 W power supply); Protection 11.3 A (MeanWell EPP-500-54); Weight 1200 g (68 V 600 W power supply).

MeanWell EPP-500-54: The compact PSU showed high efficiency and acceptable ripple, but the transformer gets noticeably hot under heavy load.

68 V 600 W power supply: After modifications, the author considers it acceptable, but notes hot snubbers, fan noise and unstable output voltage.
