Regulated Laboratory Power Supply 1.5–12V

The regulated laboratory power supply 1.5–12V is an adjustable DC source used for powering and testing compatible low-voltage electronic circuits. It is designed for supervised school, college, university and technical-training laboratories that require selectable DC voltage for practical electronics experiments, circuit demonstrations and component evaluation.

Product Description

The STEMAids Regulated Laboratory Power Supply provides a stated output range from 1.5V to 12V for compatible DC laboratory applications. Its regulated output is intended to maintain the selected voltage more consistently than an unregulated source when operated within the unit’s confirmed electrical limits.

The apparatus supports hands-on study of voltage, current, resistance and electronic circuit behaviour. It can be integrated with breadboards, meters and compatible components during instructor-led practical work. The current capacity, voltage-selection method, regulation accuracy and protective functions must be confirmed before procurement.

Key Features

• 1.5–12V DC range: Supplies selectable low-voltage output across the stated range.
• Regulated operation: Supports more consistent voltage delivery to compatible laboratory loads.
• Multiple experiment levels: Allows users to select voltages appropriate for different circuit activities.

How to Use the Regulated Laboratory Power Supply 1.5–12V

1. Place the unit on a dry, stable and ventilated laboratory bench.
2. Check the rating label and verify the permitted AC input supply.
3. Keep the power switched off while assembling the circuit.
4. Select the lowest suitable output voltage before making the connection.
5. Connect the positive and negative terminals with correct polarity.
6. Switch on the supply and set the required voltage between 1.5V and 12V.
7. Observe the circuit and ensure its current demand remains within the confirmed rating.
8. Switch off the supply before changing connections or removing components.

Safety note: Never short-circuit the output, exceed the confirmed current capacity or touch damaged conductors. The unit should be used by students only under competent adult supervision.

Care & Maintenance

• Disconnect the unit from mains power before cleaning or inspection.
• Use a dry cloth and keep liquids away from terminals, controls and ventilation openings.
• Store the power supply in a dry, dust-controlled area with leads loosely coiled.
• Stop using the unit if overheating, unusual noise, damaged insulation or loose terminals are observed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a regulated laboratory power supply 1.5–12V used for?

It supplies selectable regulated DC voltage to compatible low-voltage circuits. Typical uses include electronics experiments, component testing and breadboard projects.

Is the output voltage adjustable?

The stated output range is 1.5–12V. Confirm whether voltage selection is continuously variable, switched in fixed steps or provided through separate terminals.

What is the maximum output current?

The current capacity has not been verified. Check the rating plate or obtain written confirmation before connecting a load.

Can it be used for LED and transistor experiments?

Yes, provided the selected voltage, polarity and load current match the ratings of the connected LED, resistor or transistor circuit.

Does regulated mean the voltage never changes?

No. Regulation reduces voltage variation within specified operating limits. The exact line regulation, load regulation and ripple values must be confirmed for this model.

Is it suitable for school laboratories?

Yes. It is suitable for supervised school, college and technical-training laboratories conducting low-voltage DC experiments.
