Review conclusionWith reservationsWith reservations

Only in one review: In test 62 W (24 V 60 W power supply (DIY)); Ripple 150 mV (12 V 60 W power supply); Efficiency 85.5 % (12 V 60 W power supply); No load 0.1 W (12 V 60 W power supply).

12 V 60 W power supply: Low ripple and acceptable heating at 60 W, but the protection threshold is set much too high.

24 V 60 W power supply (DIY): The homemade supply worked, but needed fixes and initially handled abrupt load changes poorly.

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.
