Power supply identification needed

Post by Mudslinger »

Hi Everyone, I have got this power supply as part of a job lot. Unfortunately some berk has scratched off the writing on the front, so I am unable to see what current rating it is.

I did try to search the model number and nothing truely believeable came up, although a couple suggested it might be 6-8Amps.

Can anyone confirm this? The physical size is less than my 3-5A although it is heavier.

It was a bit dirty inside, I have managed to clean it out with Henry followed by some brake claener.

It has come up as good as new, with 10 mins cleaning. I will change the caps, we have loads at work and that is within my limited ability. :)

As Claude mentioned later, probably 5-7amp, purely due to the continuous AND surge wording.

I think I've just got one amongst the 3 power supplies I bought for a tenner a couple of weeks back.

Either way it is better than the 3-5 which I have now.

Thanks for the info. :)

I just put a plug on, and tested it. it powers up and hums but there is no output. I will need to do some fault finding.

It hums because it doesn't know the words to the song ;)

It doesn't even sound like much of a tune to be honest, just a monotonous drone.
