What is the voltage range between the +/- ports? Is - tied to ground so you get 30V? Is this supply capable of +/-30V for a total off 60V?

There is no negative (less than zero) voltage output capability. As the specs say 0 to 30 volts and 0 to 5 amps. The voltage that you set is regulated at that value until the current that you set is exceeded, then the constant current feature takes over and the voltage is reduced while maintaining your selected maximum current.

Okay, sorry. Amazon asked me to comment on this by saying "since you own this unit maybe you could answer the question" But evidently I don't own this unit, because the model I have has a ground post and 6 negative connections.. Sorry all.

thank you all for your response. I now understand what I need, at least 8 amps power supply ...enjoy your weekend!!!! :_)

I'm sorry I don't know what clamping voltage is. I can say that I have all 7 plugs in use with a tv, sound bar, sub woofer, uverse box, a modem and a few other things. I haven't had any problems. all my important electronics is on the surge

The converter I purchased had +/- IN/OUT stamped on the underside of the base where the wires emerged from the unit. I connected it accordingly and it works. If there is no indication anywhere of the +/-, the black wire is generally the high voltage - and the red wire is the high voltage +. Hook those up and test the remaining wires for +/-. Some converters only have 3 wires and the black wire is a common ground(-).Hope this helps.

First off, my unit works fine as is. It has a 100-240 VAC input at 1 amp power supply (100-200 watts). Outputs are 12 VDC at 2,000 mA (2 amps) and 5 VDC at 2,000 mA. Both voltages are available in the standard hard drive power connector (not SATA). For IDE drives the power supply plugs into the drive. For SATA drives the power connector plugs into the Coolgear unit. I think the description is misleading.

The voltage options, as listed in the manual,are 120V, (60 Hz), 240V, (50Hz), 230V (50HZ), 100V 50-60Hz. I am utilizing this amp, to support a Denon Turntable to a pair of Dalquist DQ-10 Phase Array speakers. The amp sounds great. No ground hum and ultra quiet when on...Hope this helps. I do have a 120, 60 Hz requirement..

I've done this with other supplies in the past. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to do it with these ones. You may run into issues if you plan on using the full current output. As they are in series and not parallel, you'll be able to get 5A Max, however, with two power supplies in series you are doubling your overall power supply internal resistance, so I'm not sure what this will do to your Max current output. Make sure to use the + and - outputs and not the chassis grounds. Using the chassis ground will effectively short one of your power supplies to earth ground. In fact, as a safety precaution check the continuity between the earth ground and the - channels. They should not be internally or externally shorted. If they are then it will not work.

No, this produces no negative voltage. The "-" terminal is marked to indicate what you would normally refer to as DC ground

could you please check and tell me what's the rating for the external DC supply ? Vdc ? and current rating (mA)?appreciate your help.thx

BG, I really don't know about the power supply, I just plug the unit into 120vac and it works as it's supposed to.

I am wondering the same thing. Is the power supply 100/240v compatible? Could someone please let us know, as this is the only thing holding me back from purchasing this.Thanks!

in fact, I'm using it JUST FINE with a 5v power supply. since it works great with 5v, I see no need to over-voltage it with 12v. yes, it will have an onboard dc/dc converter but as I found out, 5v is enough for it. center pin is plus, of course.

The input range printed on the adapters is 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz 0.5A Max, The output is listed as 5.0 VDC 2A. But really, do yourself a favor and don't buy this if you're looking for something that needs to last longer than 6 months. This system is poorly designed. Monoprice did eventually replace mine after I threatened to leave bad reviews all over the internet but the replacement lasted only 6 months or so before failing again. I just recently replaced the entire system with Redmere HDMI cables and a 1x8 HDMI splitter all bought on Amazon.

I would say yes. I have it hooked up to led lights and the supply is 12v at .75A. I have this connected for 5 months now.

I can't think of a way to get this supply to generate +28V, -28V, +18V, and -18V all at the same time. I can see how it can do any two of those at once, but not all four.

Standard 3 pin US connector. Input 110 to 120V AC @ 60 Hz, Output 13.8V DC plus/minus 0.5V @ 30 Amp DC continuous/maximum, Regulation &lt;5%, 6A fuse, Ripple 150mV RMS. Your question reminded me that this might be unusable overseas (220V) without a transformer.
