Bench power supply - what do you think?

[skjult]

Looking for a decent, yet inexpensive power supply with current and voltage settings independent. This one looks decent (0-30VDC and 0-3A)...

Brand New Mini Bench DC Power Supply 0-30V, 0-3A! Great Supply! | eBay

Price is right: $85 with shipping from US.

Any better deals out there? The seller of this unit says they use them in their own work.

From the same electronics dealer:

0-30V, 0-3A Variable Benchtop Power Supply-MPJA, Inc.

Takes up less bench space.

Extech switching supply is nicer, if you have the funds.

Hey thanks! That is perfect - especially for my budget!

Just be careful that you aren't being penny-wise and pound-foolish. With our hobby, a 5 amp supply might be better in the long run for you.

Yeah I have a cheap one that is supposed to do 5A and it huffs and puffs sometimes. Definitely worth spending a little on a PSU.
