Big switching power supplies - what's the forum favorite?

[Captain Kilowatt]

My friends & I found that those & the Tripp Lite power supplies made great dumpster materials. Tripp Lite could not even provide a schematic that included the parts because they told me they were built in Mexico & they were not sure what parts they had in them.

My Tripp-Lite PR40a has treated me quite well for the last 30+ years. I blew the regulator chip once which was my own error when my test proble slipped and shorted it out. I was setting the output voltage at the time. A quick replacement and it has been performing great ever since. Tripp-Lite published the schematics for all their power supplies which are basically all the same with different transformers and pass transistors for the different amperages available.

I just got a NOS Artesyn LCM600Q, 24-28v, 27 Amps. 100-240v Input Auto Switching. Eventually want another to connect in P. Small size is nearly stunning.
