Review on πŸ’‘ LETOUR DC 5V 30A Power Supply: High Efficiency 150W Adapter for LED Lighting, Strip, CCTV - AC 110V/220V Converter by Marcus Rash

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Arrived damaged but still works - no more than 15A current without fan

It does the job so I can't complain. Working but arrived damaged. The corner of the metal case was badly bent and broke off the corner of the circuit board. It didn't damage any of the traces, so I straightened the chassis and taped the corner of the board. I haven't exceeded 10A but it gets pretty hot. I have my doubts that it can handle more than 15A without adding a fan. The output capacitance (8800uF) is half what I expected for a 30A low voltage power supply, and my oscilloscope showed significant ripple at 10A. I added a few extra capacitors (2 x 4700uF) at the load point, and that solved the problem. It probably doesn't matter unless you're using sensitive hardware.
