Title: Recommendations for higher voltage power supply Post by: zac on July 27, 2019, 01:02:58 01:02 I have several variable power supplies, but none output higher than 50V. All are linear types with a conventional transformer that provides isolation so can be used in series if desired.
I'm thinking about purchasing a higher voltage (>120V) variable power supply since there are some reasonably priced models available now. I don't think I would use any voltage about 600V and that would mainly be used to test solar charge controllers, but it would need to be able to operate from 120VAC (60 hz). Any recommendations? I did a quick search and found these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HSPY-250V-4A-DC-programmable-power-supply-output-of-0-250V-0-4A-adjustable-With-RS232/32906629884.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.93.565f2243jZK52d&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_6_10065_10130_10068_10547_319_10546_317_10548_10545_10696_10084_453_454_10083_10618_10307_537_536_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_55,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=03bdeed1-bc0b-4e4d-ab78-9c703ab45c7b-14&algo_pvid=03bdeed1-bc0b-4e4d-ab78-9c703ab45c7b https://www.aliexpress.com/item/HSPY-Series-Programmable-Digital-Laboratory-Switching-DC-Power-Supply-RS232-Port-30V-5A-10A-1000V-0/32881682080.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.180.663c5850te3ymv&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_6_10065_10130_10068_10547_319_10546_317_10548_10545_10696_10084_453_454_10083_10618_10307_537_536_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_55,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=f563bfae-db6f-45eb-a36f-b43a7ca3c50b-25&algo_pvid=f563bfae-db6f-45eb-a36f-b43a7ca3c50b https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hspy-600V-3A-DC-Programmable-Regulated-DC-Power-Supply-0-600V-0-3A-adjustable-1800W/32962860403.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.64.663c5850te3ymv&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_6_10065_10130_10068_10547_319_10546_317_10548_10545_10696_10084_453_454_10083_10618_10307_537_536_10059_10884_10887_321_322_10103,searchweb201603_55,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=f563bfae-db6f-45eb-a36f-b43a7ca3c50b-9&algo_pvid=f563bfae-db6f-45eb-a36f-b43a7ca3c50b Title: Re: Recommendations for higher voltage power supply Post by: sadman on July 27, 2019, 02:27:00 14:27 i think buy a ready made power supply instead of doing RND from scratch there are some idea's make switch mode or linear regulator driver to control the IGBT for high voltage and current. T.I and LT have some voltage regulator driver chip that can drive the IGBT transistor for high voltage control.

Seem to be two major issues - at least on the referenced model - but may be generic.
Output voltage is centred on ground so both sides are potentially lethal. Very long time constant in the regulation feedback loop and useless with capacitative load.
