HP 6038A autoranging power supply repair/teardown
« on: December 10, 2023, 06:33:04 pm »
New eBay score - a HP 6038A autoranging power supply - 60V, 10A, 200W.  Got it for pretty cheap at ~$50 for parts/not-working.  It had an interesting fault symptom so I thought it would make for a fun repair; plus, I dont have a PSU with this high an output. 

Never heard of an autoranging power supply before.  It's an interesting concept.  What are your thoughts on them?  I hear they sacrifice some accuracy due to the PSU having to constantly calculate the max output throughout its range? 

First part of a video series I plan to do on repairing, calibrating, and a performance evaluation of this unit.
