05/20/2024

Aktakom APS-3320 regulated DC power supply is ideal for test benches, laboratories, schools, and repair facilities. The multiturn voltage control knob helps the user to dial in precise voltage accurately. It is easy to read digital outputs (voltage and current) on a large display accurately.

Answer one frequently asked question: Do AKTAKOM power supplies have short circuit protection?

Yes, they have.

Almost all modern power supplies have two operation modes: voltage stabilization mode and current stabilization mode. In a short circuit, the power supply automatically switches from the output voltage stabilization mode to the output current stabilization mode, and the output voltage drops proportionally. At the same time, the current in the load connected to the power supply will be limited with the value set with the screwdriver slot used to adjust the output current value on the power supply's front panel. For the best protection, setting a low current value is recommended. In the case of a short circuit, the current in the connected load will be limited by the value set on the power supply.
