Review conclusionWith reservationsWith reservations

Only in one review: Voltage 24 V (24 V 2 A power supply); Current 2 A (24 V 2 A power supply); Ripple 800 mV (12 V 50 W power supply); Efficiency 85 % (12 V 50 W power supply); No load 0.2 W (12 V 50 W power supply); Protection 5.3 A (12 V 50 W power supply).

12 V 50 W power supply: A decent supply for undemanding tasks, but ripple is high and protection is set around 60–65 W.

24 V 2 A power supply: Well-built with low ripple, but it overheats at its advertised rating and is unsuitable for prolonged use.
