content: Hello!I am planning to buy a bench power supply, for laptop, phone repairs, I am from hungary, so it have to know 220v.Looking for the Wanptek DPS3010U as it can be seen in the subject.I searched here and not found much about this model, sorry if missed a discussion.So the reason I opened this topic is that I would like to know if anybody had an experience with it, and what your toughts about it.I have a link from aliexpress (not this model is the default selection).https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001770370741.htmlThank you in advance for the informations and the help!Link changed by Simon from referal link

content: If you post another referral link you will be banned. In the mean time maybe you can tell us what you want from the power supply. We can't offer advice unless we know what you want to do or what you expect.

content: Assuming the interest is sincere and they're not, in fact, a spammer/bot...I have the APS3010H, the upgraded version of the DPS3010, available from that same listing. I bought it as a tertiary utility supply, primarily to power up devices on my bench that I'm repairing or troubleshooting, such as laptops. I have better linear supplies for general electronics work, but needed a way to power up things like gaming laptops that require more than 5A to function. This one has fit the bill for me so far. I have a "smart" universal USB-C power cable I leave attached to it that has 15 different DC barrel tips to power about any laptop or other consumer electronics device.I have not measured the noise on it, as I said it's really used more as a utility supply that I can monitor voltage/power with while powering up something I'm working on, so switching noise wasn't a critical consideration for me. What was critical to me is the ability to turn on/off the output independently of the power supply itself. The APS and WPS models support this, while the DPS does not, so to be safe you must ensure your DUT is disconnected until after you've powered it up and set your voltage/current.

content: Thank you for the answers!First of all I am really sorry about the referral link, it's my bad but i didn't know it was a referral link, i copied it from my phone by the share button on aliexpress for later use and reused it here... I apologize for that.Ofcourse i looked on youtube, but wanted the toughts of the people here, and in my first post i told that i was looking here for info but i didn't found it, so i tought i will open a thread maybe someone tryed it or used it and have experience with it and can tell me him/her opinion.On the second question I am looking for a bench psu which i can use to turn on mainly laptops, and i would like to use it for short searching and troubleshoot laptops.Thank you for the information about the aps models and the differences between them and the dps ones.

content: Similar to Veteran68, I own a Wanptek PSU but it is for non-critical use on my home bench. I got the TPS3010 model because I preferred that form factor. I've not done anything beyond some quick load tests and ripple measurements, but it has performed fine so far. It seems like it is well built and good value for money.The TPS models are missing the memory buttons of the APS version, and unlike the other models the TPS uses a common encoder input for voltage and current control. The output enable was the most important thing for me. The USB-C output is a bonus feature on the TPS, although I've not actually tried it so I don't know what PD modes is supports.I rarely used my programmable lab supply at home in the last 2 years, so I was able to bring it back into the office after getting the Wanptek.

content: Just for reference, I tested the USB Type C PD output on my Wanptek TPS3010 as I didn't find any info listed for it.According to my new FNIRSI FNB58, it support 5V 3A, 9V 3A, and 12V 2.5A. It also support PPS 3.3-11V for variable voltage output.The USB A Port supports QC at 5V, 9V, and 12V, but the USB A connector is disabled if you select anything other than 5V on the Type C via PD.I didn't have a DC load handy, but did a quick test with a USB A 5ohm resistive load. I did tests at 5V, 9V, and 12V - all good but FNB58 showed it was noisy.So with a PD Trigger and PPS, you kind of get a 2 channel adjustable PSU... with some limitations.
