Q1: What precautions should I take when using linear regulated DC power supply?
When using a linear regulated DC power supply, always prioritize safety and proper operation: Verify your deviceās voltage and current ratings match the supply specs, set appropriate limits before connecting, use insulated tools and avoid exposed metal parts, secure loads and double-check polarities, gradually adjust voltage/current while monitoring for irregularities, prevent short circuits and high-current overheating, turn off the unit before adjustments or load changes, inspect cables and connections for wear, and follow manufacturer guidelines and your modelās user manual for specific precautions.
Q2: What should I do when overcurrent or overvoltage protection is triggered?
If your linear DC power supply triggers overcurrent or overvoltage protection, first disconnect the load and turn off the unit to reset it; check for short circuits, incorrect polarity, or overloaded conditions, verify your deviceās voltage and current requirements match the supply settings, then gradually reapply power while monitoring for irregularities, and consult the user manual or manufacturer if issues persist.
