    What is the difference from UTP 1306 to UTP 1306S ??

    • @KeepOnTesting

      UTP1306S 220V / UTP1306 110V, identical specs.

      This just came from UNI-T directly.
      "UTP1306S Input voltage:220V(can shift)±10% (No AC 110V ,please make notice) For 110V please buy UTP1306".
      So I was correct in my original answer, the S VERSION is 220V, buy the UTP1306 for 110V.

    As you had a linear PSU to hand, it would have been informative to have compared the noise on a scope between the 2 units. Also to show how quickly the supply reached it's output setting. Were there any spikes at switch-on? Same for current limit. Did it kick in straight away?

  • @Krionix81
    @Krionix81 2 года назад +2

    Did you set 10mA CC mode and connect a LED straight to this PSU (w/o any resistance in series!). Did it blow or just light up as it should in CC mode? Like 15V 10mA CC mode. I heard that CC in that PSU is slow... would blow the LED up instead of providing 10mA as set since the start... too slow CC mode reaction. UPDATE. I have tested that with my unit. Some leds are burned to ash some survive. CC mode is too slow for very fragile semiconductors. It does work but with some lag, for some LEDs this is a death sentence as I have tested that on my own. Overall this is a very neat and portable device. M1-M3 are backlight enabled but it is so dimm that during the day it is barly visible :/

    OK i managed to rework my unit... design is good but assembly of the thing was really a CRAP.
    1) I had to re solder all the HOT wires with a very solid passthrough welding
    2) Replaced the post-current shunt 470uF 50 volt output capacitor with a 1000uf 50 volt
    3) Replaced the pre-current shunt 100uF output capacitor with the 470uF recycled from point 2
    4) Added a ultrafast MUR120 protection Diode in parallel to the Output , very important for drive DC brushed motors...

  • @stephensmith6628
    @stephensmith6628 4 года назад +1

    I have had a problem with my UTP1306 - I selected the M2 button to set 5V out for a device I was testing. This is great, very convenient. But then I moved the power cable to a different wall socket and when the power came on the voltage jumped to 13V and my device smoked. There is some usability issue with these buttons - you have to remember to press them twice (the second press a long press) for the voltage to be stored for use after power failure otherwise the previous voltage used will be set after a power interruption. This is a bit odd and kind of spoils it.

    • @KeepOnTesting
      @KeepOnTesting  4 года назад +1

      Yikes, sorry to hear that. Yes preprogrammed defaults can be challenging. I usually wont connect my test device until I see the power source is correct. However, UNI-T should have a safeguard built in to prevent such an occurrence.

  • @steve6375
    @steve6375 4 года назад +1

    I just bought one of these. It has a few minor issues.
    1. The blue LEDs behind the buttons are very, very dim - I can only see them in a dark room.
    2. There was a loose piece of wire (looks like a bit of a snipped component lead) inside the coils of the current shunt on the front panel which could have been shorting out a turn of the shunt coil or could have fallen into the PCBs.
    3. LED V\Amps reading is pretty accurate but I can't see how to adjust them?
    4. No mains switch on the front panel - must reach round the back to switch power on\off.
    5. If press one of the Memory buttons whilst the output is enabled, it immediately changes the output voltage to the new value. It would be safer for it to switch off the output and allow you to enable the new setting after checking the voltage is what you want. You could accidentally press one of the Memory buttons whilst adjusting O/P or CC with disastrous results.
    It has one major issue however - try this:
    Set O/P to 32V. Connect small load e.g. 1K or a bit less or no load. Enable output. Now switch off *mains* 230V AC power. The output will shoot up from 32V to 40V before going down slowly to 0V. If you set the O/P to 26V or below then there is no surge on power off. Also, if you connect a larger load (52R or more) then there is no surge.

    I'm interested in purchasing this power supply, but kind of confused. Is it a Linear power supply? If you check out the link on their official store on AliExpress it says it lists it as a switching power supply, then on another line it says linear? Strange. Link: www.aliexpress.com/item/33061530471.html
    I see yours has a voltage input switch, yet all the listings I see states its for 220v only (not 110v, check out model without the "S" - UTP1306). I'm so confused and any input would be appreciated!

      No , it simply means that you must physically choose to OUTPUT the voltage / current before it will physically flow into your circuit. Something like a safety valve.

    • @KeepOnTesting

      Hi Ricardo, OCP / OVP are features that utilize one or more circuits to prevent a power supply from delivering more current or voltage than it was designed for or that its circuits can handle. It basically throttles the current or voltage negating any excess or bias to prevent damage. Thanks for watching!

Set like 7V(?) and 10mA CC, I have burned a few as it did provide 10mA but to late, had to pass through some more amps before it switched to desired CC of 10mA (no R in series!). Too bad saw magic smoke! Next one issue I had: LED strip switch with mosfet and 10 leds. 24V, whole circuit drew 33mA so I set CC to 40mA just in case you know! And shit happend I've short ciurcuited LED strip. It did not switch to max 40mA on time as mosfet stopped working (always conducted ever since). CC mode did kick in as CC red led showed up, but that was tooo late.
      Did not dismantle this device, maybe there is a beefy cap inside just at the leads? But c'mon this mosfet was able to handle 6A afair (small smd one). So oscilloscope would be halpful to check how fast CC kicks in and what Amps goes since T0 (short) to actuall CC working state.
      Please do some easy tests green/red LEDS burn challange, some 5mm yellow is capable of surviving laggy CC mode with this PSU thou. Mosts die...
      But my led controller with some strong mosfet did not get any chances! WTF? Will post amazone review (sort by the worst score) and maybe later check that dude findings but please, please check the time needed for CC to kick in for LED, some mosfets +Amps dreawn in real life - on the short circuit case.
      Maybe also test OCP mode, maybe this one is faster? Like I have 7V, bare small LED, 20mA OCP, would LED perish or not? Anyway I bought that unit for CC mode to protect devices from my mistakes during DIY tests or repairs...

      @@Krionix81 @Krionix81 Roger that. I'll try those suggestions and let you know what I find. Sounds like your unit might be a dud but will see. Btw, When you set the CC to say 1 amp, you are telling the power supply to allow no more than 1 amp through the load. The load can draw whatever it needs - up to that 1 amp limit. If it tries to draw more, then the power supply will reduce the voltage as required to maintain 1 amp maximum. This should be instantaneous otherwise what's the point of a cc mode 🤔

Some odd UI things can be noted as well, push the knob and it should go back to the last digit changed, not the less significat one (tedious to do frequent changes). Switching from M1 do M3 will not tun off the output SADLY, super EASY to burn device just pressing the wrong Mx button :/ Default timeout while setting CC/O*P is just 1s? Should be longer imho. Super dimm LED backlight of M* buttons and O*P however I like they made them lit but soooo weak light is easly overpowered by daylight. God damn it. Did they test that in the dark pit hole? Anyways CC mode should be fast enought to protect the devices, ohm law still existign so yes V down (however if there is a huge filterign CAP just before leads are hooked up this is not good right). I belive that 32V 10mA could be dangerous but not 7V 10mA burning the LED that would draw just few mA. Plese do the various tests and make graphs (check the Amazon dude). Focus on CC in normal life, not just "Edge" situations that hardly ever happen. Why my 6A mosfet burned with CC of 40mA I bet I set that correctly, 100% sure some LED did not survive former "just PSU +bare LED" tests. Have a good one!
