Power Supply

Why would students have their own power supplies?

Often experiments carried out by students which require an electrical voltage, are supplied in such a way that teachers enable the feed to each work station from their desk so that the students can access from their tables. There are a number of advantages, though, to students having their own power supplies. They are as follows:

  • Well-defined output voltages can be supplied, i.e. there is no drop in the voltage when a load is connected.
  • Work can be done individually at each work station. This is particularly helpful when sets of measurements are being made.
  • The tables where the students are working do not need any wiring other than a standard mains outlet.
  • The power supply can be equipped in a particularly suitable way for students.

MKS 3.1 low-voltage power supply

This handy low-voltage supply can easily be used whenever a continuously adjustable DC voltage of between 0 and 12 V is needed, or for fixed AC voltages of 2 V, 4 V, 6 V or 12 V where an overall load of 3 A suffices. A 1.5 m mains lead is included with both supplies.

Technical data for MKS 3.1

Mains voltage: 230 V +6% -10%, 50/60 Hz
Power consumption: max. 110 W
Protection: Galvanic isolation from the mains by means of a safety transformer, both outputs are protected against short-circuits and overloads by means of multifuses.
DC voltage: stabilised, 0-12 V continually adjustable, max. 3 A
Residual ripple: < 100 mV
AC voltage: 2-4-6-12-V in steps, max. 3 A
Dimensions: 203 x 205 x 117 mm
Weight: 3.2 kg

MKS 2.4 low-voltage power supply

MEKRUPHY’s MKS 2.4 low-voltage supply sets new standards in the field of power supply equipment. The equipment supplies stabilised AC voltage with a perfect sine-wave form as well as similarly stabilised and optimally smoothed DC voltage, continuously adjustable between 0 and 12 V in each case. LEDs are provided to indicate which type of voltage is selected.

Technical data for MKS 2.4

Mains voltage: 230 V +6% -10%, 50/60 Hz
Power consumption: max. 75 W
Protection: Galvanic isolation from the mains by means of a safety transformer, both outputs are protected against short-circuits and overloads by means of automatic circuit breakers and electronic cut-outs.
DC voltage: stabilised, 0-12 V continuousls adjustable, max. 2 A
Residual ripple: < 2 mV
AC voltage: stabilised, 0-12 V continually adjustable, max. 2 A
