30-12-2024, 12:36
As I mentioned recently, I needed to build a powerful charger for one of my custom electronic loads. I’ve already shown you the converter, so now it’s time for the power supply. I’ve reviewed a similar SMPS before, which makes this all the more interesting—we’ll compare them.

A quick look at an inexpensive adjustable 60 V, 20 A voltage converter. It’s not exactly great, but I wouldn’t say it’s terrible either. Overall, you get what you pay for.

30-11-2024, 20:59
Some time ago, I published a roundup of various products and included a nice-looking multimeter that can measure inductance. I also decided to buy one to review and test it, thinking it might be useful. Well, I received it yesterday, tested it, and decided to write a review while it was still fresh in my mind.
SCP-35-12, a very strange UPS from Meanwell
27-11-2024, 03:34
This article came about spontaneously. A few days ago, a friend messaged me saying his Mean Well UPS had stopped working: it runs for about an hour and a half, then shuts off, even though the battery is supposedly 12+12 Ah. By the way, this is the same friend who had previously sent me another Mean Well UPS to turn into a UPS :)

Since I know the prices of some products pretty well, I can tell right away whether a discount is real. Anyway, if you’ve been looking for a DL24MP electronic load at a good price, this is the place to go.

Not long ago, I showed a new version of an electronic load. In a sense, it’s a downgrade—a step backward rather than forward—but it’s not that simple, so I decided to put together a short article.
