Review conclusionRecommendedWith reservations

12 V 5 A power supply: The supply showed good regulation and low ripple; after warming up it can deliver about 5.5 A continuously.

24 V, 5 A power supply: It handled up to 6 A and stayed cool, but without modification it has high ripple and output-voltage sag.
