Recommendation for a 300V DC power supply
« on: October 25, 2015, 01:40:16 pm »
As one of my many Hobbies is to restore old vacuum tube Radios....which DC power supply would you recommend which can go up to 270 - 300V DC and deliver 0.15A?

As far as used supplies go, you might try looking for a Heathkit IP-17 or an HP 711A.  Both are only good for 100mA continuous output so they don't quite match your specs, but they do show up occasionally on eBay.  The Heath goes to 400V; the HP to 500.  I don't know how common they'd be in Europe,  nor how much shipping might be from the US, but there are two possibilities at least.

If it jams, force it.  If it breaks, you needed a new one anyway...

This is close. I bought the lower voltage one and it delivers the juice, but I haven't looked at the ripple/noise of the output.

I was going to say you could buid your own cheaper, but having seen the cost of the converter in the previous post...  :o

Anyway, here's the link:

EDIT: The linear one might be quieter though.

I don't like the switching converter. In a lab supply you'll want current limiting and no smoke when it is overloaded.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.
