Best Power supply?

[mark skelton]

What power supply do most imagers use to power their rigs. Mines just packed up on me.

I use a 10A mains adapter from  dewcontrol.com

Not had any problems with it.

I had an old PC power supply laying around which I converted into my rig power supply. All the 12v and 5v I'll ever need!

I have several of these Mean Well 12V 8.5A in use. You can get higher power versions if you need more current. You can adjust the output voltage up to 13.8V.

I've had some issues a few weeks ago with a failing PSU that killed my mount and ASI1600 so pick your PSU carefully is my advice.

Thanks Miguel1983 for the advice. I was looking at something like the RSP-320-13.v that you now got.

The Nevada ones here from FLO are excellent.  I have a couple and they have been faultless, but it depends on how much kit you are looking to run with it.

Leisure battery - clean quiet smooth power - cannot go over-voltage.

I currently have a Nevada 30A linear supply https://www.nevadaradio.co.uk/product/nevada-ps-30m/ bought from the Nevada shop on ebay. This replaced a Nevada clone switch mode 30A like this https://www.firstlightoptics.com/batteries-powerpacks/nevada-psw-30-25-30a-switch-mode-power-supply.html. I read  on here that the linear PSU are more reliable and less likely to cause funny problems with mount motors like runaway slews. At the end of the day its a one off few quid expense so why skimp if its running expensive kit
