Power supply works as advertised. Been using it for voltage injection without any issues. It's great that it has overvoltage protection and overcurrent protection. There lots of different power supply manufacturers out there to choose from but from my research, this one had great reviews from multiple sources for this price range. Digikey also sells this model which means the power supply should be decent as Digikey usually does not sell inferior products. I've been using it for several months already and have not had any issues so far.

Bought it a year ago and it's been working great with no complaints or concerns. Turns on every time and does what I need it to. Controls are quick and convenient and the output toggle is awesome so you're not removing/replacing leads every time you need to adjust the power supply. These seem to be the most noticeable things you lose out on when you buy a cheaper bench supply, but aren't a concern here.
When I was researching the purchase I was concerned by how many people seemed to be complaining about fan noise... I used it for a weeks-long stint as a power supply for a ham radio and the fan is probably the most inoffensive noise I can imagine. The only part of calling it "a little loud" that's accurate is the "little" part.
For the hobbyist or prosumer, I think this is exactly the right price point to balance quality/features and cost. Don't go any cheaper. If you're feeling rich, grab a used HP/Keysight unit for about twice the price.

This is my second one of these. I recently blew the other one up... "oops" it was my fault completely. Good enough to buy again. I like the digital buttons, all the other ones don't have memory and have analog controls. I prefer this interface over other comparable models.

This power supply definitely meets our needs. it has very low ripple even at max amperage draw. The fan is a little loud, but not to the point where it is objectionable and you don't notice it after awhile. I do like the 4 presets as it makes it easy to change both voltage and current limits very quickly. It even showed up 3 days before it was scheduled to arrive.

This supply is a quality build for the money. It is my new bench supply. I actually like that you can set the voltage first then enable/disable the output. Some people were complaining that you couldn't set the output voltage and vary it on the fly but you can if you follow the instructions. Current limit is a plus for those oops moments when you make a wiring mistake. This power supply is much better than another brand (much cheaper) that I ordered a few weeks ago in which I got a shock off of the metal case and the supply blew up within 30 seconds. All in all I'm glad I bought this power supply. I recommend it.

Unit is a FANTASTIC deal for the price. Its probably not quite as robust as the $500 versions of this type of equipment, but i connected it to my oscilliscope and with or without a load on it, it gets to the designated voltage quickly and without any overshoot. I couldn't be happier with this in my arsenal. An excellent choice for someone looking to help get there workbench setup and start tinkering.
The current control functions are great if you work with or want to test things like LEDs as you won't need to worry about limiting resistors and such since you can just set the max milliamps on the power supply and not worry. When the unit is on, it shows you what the voltage and current outputs actually are as well, so you can easily see what your device is drawing, and if the power supply is lowering the voltage to limit the current flow.

I love these
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2024Verified Purchase
I have a bunch of these and they work absolutely great. One of them has been running 24/7 for probably 2 years now. There are no power spikes if you use the output on/off button, the only way to get a small spike is to cut the mains power while the output is enabled but you're not supposed to do that anyway. I very much prefer these over switch-mode supplies because the output is extremely clean. The voltage and current settings and display are very accurate. I use these all the time and I bought my first one 4 years ago; I have both KA3005D and KA3005P (programmable) models and I've used to software to script one of them for automated testing. I did have an issue at one point where I needed customer support and both Korad and the seller (SRA) have been absolutely great with their support which is really important to me and I would say they went above and beyond. I had originally considered buying a "fancy" bench-top dual supply but decided that for the same money I can get 3 of these and that turned out to be a very good decision. My priority is to never get into a situation where I needed another power supply and not have one. I have 6 of them permanently as part of my work bench and a few more to move around where needed. If for some reason I needed another one I would buy this one again, no question.

Hands down the best price to quality PSU on amazon at the moment.

This device is just perfect if you are an older guy who went through his fair share of wrestling with those old trafo-based, fidgety, no finley-adjusted PSU's, energized outputs, available at the market 10 or 20 years ago.
Pros:
- stable output even under max loads
- no overshooting or any weird spikes
- capable of adjustments on non-energized output
- digital interface capable of fine adjustments
- clear to read and functional with memory options
Cons:

If you are in need of a good bench PSU just buy it. I already have two of them, seriously considering buying a third one...

Excellent power supply
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2024Verified Purchase
Very easy to use, accurate and reliable. If you look at forums this model comes highly recommended; such a high value product at this price point. Being a linear power supply it's a little wasteful, but I haven't noticed an excessive amount of heat, and while I haven't observed it myself, the waveform is said to have low ripple. If I needed another supply I would buy another without hesitation.
