I am looking for manufacturer of good power supplies, preferrably a US-

I bought a Chinese Mastech 30v 10a CVCC power supply. It was cheap,
and upon arrival I see why. I'm new to this stuff and the manual is
pretty useless.

I would like to find a similar HP, Tektronix, or other high quality
comparable type power supply, so I can try to find/buy/download a
manual for one. I bet an HP manual would clear up how to use these
things.

Thanks a lot.


A power supply is a power supply. The cheapest one will do. I have good luck with $18.00 power supplies. They either work or they don't. People who pay $150 or $200 for a power supply are crazy. I've bought the cheapest for decades. It don't have to last 200 years, I won't live that long and it will be obsolete in a couple years anyway.



That maybe true how ever, a well designed power supply has much better
protection in it to save your attached devices. crap power supplies
tend to have poor regulation, voltage not in spec and when something goes wacky with them, they can take out the devices that are loaded on them or, they can just shut down silently or burn up with smoke and possibly flames.

Powers supplies are not perfect regardless of cost how ever, most of
the higher end ones tends to guaranty performance and protection of your
devices.
