I have at my disposal no less than 4 wonderful pro-level bench power supplies. A pretty good low end unit and a fairly nice DIY one I just finished building.
Guess what I spent all day on today? Yup, designing an even better DIY bench power supply!!!
Help me!
Sorry, can't, wrong address. Help from a guy who designed all his supplies, currently 8 (or 4 dual, plus a MV and HV one) himself? No way.
You see, IMO one absolutely
needs at least two dual low amp supplies plus a mid range one (3 or 4 Amps), all the usual range (30-ish V) plus, just in case, a dual >= 7 A (mine: 10 A), all linear as it befits a lab. Plus of course, a 500-ish V (abt 1 A), plus, being at it, a 10 x multiplier. All with a decent meter (14 bits).
And I'm bloody sure that I'm still missing something.
The culprit: An EE with lots and lots of experience whom I revered, who sternly told me that an electronician worth his salt builds his own PSUs when I asked him about a certain (commercial) PSU I intended to save for.
