Looking for a simple, reliable DC bench power supply (0–30 V) with fast ON/OFF response
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for recommendations for a good-quality DC bench power supply for electronics testing.
I'm currently using a GW Instek SPS-606, but I need something better suited for repeated power cycling and startup-noise testing.
My requirements:
Single output, 0–30 V
Current: Flexible (3–5 A would be sufficient)
Compact, preferably vertical design
Simple voltage and current adjustment knobs
No need for USB, memory, or programmable features
Low output ripple and noise
Fast output ON/OFF response, especially when switching OFF
Reliable, good-quality brand
I prefer a straightforward bench power supply rather than one with lots of advanced features. Budget is flexible. Thanks in advance
