+/- 32v
+/- 15v
+5v
+24v
Whats the best approach? Should I get some Acopian Linear Power Supplies and put together what I need? Without spending 1k anybody have any better ideas? |
Some of the solutions that I'm reading are bordering on the "wacky".
You didn't mention how much current you require for your testing. Not a lot I would imagine if your testing the modules individually.
I'm guessing that you could easily get a compliment of linear power supplies for the project on ebay....all for around $200 used. Power One, International Power, and Condor make compatible supplies with virtually the same part numbers.
Get a dual output +/-24 (like a HBB24-1.2A) and modify with a couple of resistors for +/-32. Then get a dual output +/-15 (HBB15-1.5A), a single output +24 (HD24-4.8A), and single +5 (HD5-6A). Some of these supplies are on ebay now for about $10.
