[c-nsp] -48vdc lab power

[Daniel Hooper]

Eaton APS is another common one we use for -48v stuff, the Eltek stuff is hot dog but pricey for just lab work.

At home I use a cheap jaycar variable lab DC supply, it has 2 x 30v outputs which I just run in series and trim the voltage down to about 54v, it's 6 amp so handles most things that find a way to the home lab.

Meanwell is probably the supercheap no frills brand if you need it for a one time test

We ended up placing a small-ish Emerson system in our office with a breaker panel and some telcoflex leads to the bench, really works nicely for testing this stuff and was not super expensive but allows bigger loads (ie ASR 9ks to be powered as well).

Thanks both you and the previous poster who pointed me in the right direction. In this case, I'm in actual telco central offices and yes they are straight -48vdc all the way, ac is verboten.
