benchvoedingen

Benchvoedingen, also known as laboratory power supplies, are essential pieces of equipment found in electronics labs, repair shops, and educational institutions. Their primary function is to provide a stable and adjustable direct current (DC) voltage and current to power electronic circuits and devices during testing, development, or repair.

Unlike fixed power adapters, bench power supplies offer versatility through adjustable output settings. Users can typically set both the voltage and current limits, allowing for precise control over the power delivered to a device under test. This adjustability is crucial for preventing damage to sensitive components by ensuring they receive the correct operating parameters. Many models also include features like current limiting, overvoltage protection, and short-circuit protection to safeguard both the power supply and the connected load.

Bench power supplies come in various configurations, from simple single-output units to complex multi-channel models capable of delivering different voltages simultaneously. They are characterized by their output capabilities, such as maximum voltage, maximum current, and power rating. The display on a bench power supply usually shows the current output voltage and current, allowing for constant monitoring. Their reliability and flexibility make them indispensable tools for anyone working with electronics.
