hello, because not everyone needs the whole set, they just need the panel, they have their own AC to DC PSU, and they prefer to make the shell by themselves, our products are all DC to DC power supply, no mater the old DPS/DPH/DP power supply or new RD power supply series, they are all DC to DC power supply, we can prepare the case and input PSU if you need, but we will let you choose what you need.
yes, in the feedback, there are may DIY power supplies based on our power supply, customers have all kinds of thoughts, which is really great, we have made 2 videos about the DIY power supplies in our YouTube channel
Ah, OK. Now I understand that these are priced primarily for folks using their own PSU or who are NOT buying the PSU from RD Tech. I would have thought it was the other way around - that most folks would buy the complete power supply and not just the panel. I’m surprised that most of your customers purchase only the panel. Especially with all of the warnings on your site about the possible damage that may occur when using an inferior PSU. Thanks.
yes, and for input power supply, just do not use very chep PSU it should be ok, for those electric bike charger, second hand power supply, sometimes there will be high voltage peak, which exceeds the input limit of our product, so it is not suitable, but if you have good one, there is no problem
:person_facepalming: That’s it not right way to measure ripple voltage with that probe hooked to output and that long ground wire. Also most of time is used 50 ohm BNC termination setup for best measurements. You must use short wires and probes as possible. Also about efficiency for BLF users more interesting will be when you have low output voltage and higher load currents. That’s its right way
Also for EU citizens real price is not 75$ but over 95$ with VAT.
hello, the ripple test way in the EEV blog video is correct, it is more accurate, but most customers does not have same condition to test it, we show a way that customer can do in their home to get the same result, you can see in the technical parameter chart we already indicate that the repple is 100mV@12A,150mV@24A, but actually it is not such big when you test it.
for the second thing you said ripple under low voltage and big current, the ripple is mainly influenced by the current, the voltage does not influence it much, and we show the ripple at big current
and for VAT, it is charged by Aliexpress, we do not get it, and it is used for your customs when the package arrive at your customs, so that you do not need to pay it, it is the new law for EU area since 2021-7-1
Pulled the trigger on one yesterday. I have been waiting on this 24 amp model for awhile.
I have two of the older DPS models which have been great but I really wanted this newer better display model.
The on and off membrane switch on the DPS model was a little hard to push, sometimes the whole power supply would move just trying to activate the on switch. Hoping this one is much easier.
I’m using a 95W laptop power brick (20V) to power my DPS5020, which has been sufficient for 4.2V20A.
I also have a meanwell 48V4.5A which I’ll be using with the RD6024, I don’t need the full 60V24A power, so that’ll be sufficient for my use.
I probably won’t ever utilize both 60v and 24a but that doesn’t stop me from wanting it. I use my RD6012 for electrochemistry and it’s been great for that, more likely to use higher voltage than high current in that application, I am just being picky.
