juss started using one . no consumer yet but will be doing some experimenting soon as i put the remaining parts together specially cover for the whole unit . Lovely product .........
Tests will be done when I get my dummy load which seems to be taking a long time to come... perhaps you can answer Guiseppe's question about power supply?
@@rdtech9153 Hello while i am using your product, dps5020, the input fuse literally "explodes" so I'm going to replace my fuse Is it okay using this fuse? Amp is enough but volt is only 32VDC datasheet.lcsc.com/szlcsc/Littelfuse-0501020-WRS_C207008.pdf 0501020.WRS
I'm pretty sure the answer to that is no - the output is step-down, not step-up. With 12v in, I imagine around 11v will be the highest output voltage - bear in mind it is approaching 4 years since I made this video - and thanks partly to Covid I've not seen this supply for over a year as it is in the UK and I'm not.
great tutorial, congratulations. I wanted to ask an information: I just ordered the dps 5020. You know where you can buy a box suitable for accommodate both the dps 5020 with its accessories and with the transformer and capacitor for input voltage. Thank you
Hi there. Short answer no - I've found I think either Banggood or AliExpress, a plastic box that might do the job but experience suggests a power supply would be better off in a metal box. For power I'm using one of those cased switched power supplies - thinking about it, a honking great capacitor on the output of one of those might not be a bad idea... but they won't fit in the original case. Ask in the blog, someone might have some ideas. tech.scargill.net - look up 5020
@Giuseppe Colombo in fact, for the input power supply, there is not specific request, it depends your needs, if you want output 50V, you can choose 60V version switch power supply. that's ok. for the brand, most switch power supply brand are ok. because our power supply has many protection for transformer, you can use , but need to if you use AC-DC converter or transformer coil, please add rectifier (rectifier bridge) and filter (more than 4700uf filter capacitor)
Thanks for your response, you have been very kind. I'm going to visit your site. One other piece of information, I have to buy the transformer. can you send me a link with features on all input voltage and output voltage.
The video is not an invite to education :-) Read the maximum INPUT voltage of the unit and get a power unit (switched mode would likely be good but I'd put a nice capacitor on the output of it - or two) - maybe 5% to 10% lower. Find out the maximum current of the unit and ensure your supply can manage that current constantly - so if it says 20 amps you want a supply able to handle more than that. Of course that is all assuming you want to push the supply to it's limits - which could involve some heat. Over to you to investigate. I will likely feed mine from a 40v 15 amp or similar supply - as I don't need to push it to it's limits.
Yes, I was sitting with a glass of wine last night, as you do, looking at the video, only to realise a few stunning errors... thankfully I'd kept the projects. It's a real pain that you can't replace videos in TH-cam - you have to delete the old one and make a new one with a new link. I've updated the blog accordingly.
no, there is only for win 7 and above, but I recently I found one friend made a interesting application , you can check . th-cam.com/video/ZImmDbBTOR4/w-d-xo.html
As far as I know only Windows - but to be honest I see that as a side-show - it's a great supply on it's own - also - the data format is open so if you wanted to do your own thing on Linux you could.

thank you , if you have any question , you can tell me , I am the designer
Cool video! I just got my unit. Could you please give link to software? I want to try Bluetooth. Is there Android app for this awesome power supply?
So I just received the same exact model but the screen Is just white no text or numbers any ideas, thanks in advance!
No idea - that video was made 3+ years ago - there will likely be changes in the design since then. Contact the designer via his AliExpress store.
thank you very much for your great work, great video and nice work
you can do more test for this , I guess more people to see some interesting test

@Peter Scargill
very good, I will .. thank you

I can no longer read the text on the back of the panel. what is above and what is the bottom connection?
I don't know, I didn't bring it to Spain. Contact the design company.
I have 12 volts 20 Amps power supply for input. Can I get 18 volts 20 Amps output if I use this module?
I'm pretty sure the answer to that is no - the output is step-down, not step-up. With 12v in, I imagine around 11v will be the highest output voltage - bear in mind it is approaching 4 years since I made this video - and thanks partly to Covid I've not seen this supply for over a year as it is in the UK and I'm not.
I need pc software for dps 5020? Any help??
The PSU is in the UK and right now getting there from Spain is not feasible as you might imagine.

Software for Linux, or only Windows?
Windows as far as I know. Someone may prove me wrong - and the communication format is fully documented if anyone wanted to write something for Linux.
no, there is only for win 7 and above, but I recently I found one friend made a interesting application , you can check . th-cam.com/video/ZImmDbBTOR4/w-d-xo.html
As far as I know only Windows - but to be honest I see that as a side-show - it's a great supply on it's own - also - the data format is open so if you wanted to do your own thing on Linux you could.
YES, now only support window 7 and above
Good grief they have a testing video... never seen so many power supplies in one room.. th-cam.com/video/N9IjycfV_vM/w-d-xo.html
