Hey guys, how are you? Welcome to
this video which is the first episode of this series called Tools and Coffee
but I need my coffee, where's my coffee?
wait a minute
Now
Tools and Coffee - Episode 1
the idea of ​​this series is that every week we'll talk about a particular tool
of all the tools that I have here or that I use
something I want to be clear, this is a personal opinion
these are the tools that I use
the tools I feel most comfortable with
the tools that I have used for some time
if I don't like something I just change it
If I try something and I don't like it I talk about it and if I like something I also talk about it
what I'm going to be recommending
or talking
is about the tools I use and a personal comment
I know that there are many Power Supplies, that's what we're going to talk about today
I have 3 that I will be recommending
there are many, much better than this one, but
this is something that I've been using, probably in the future I'll have something better
and then I'll be talking about it
but at the moment I'm happy with the tools I've been using
ok then
In this episode, we'll talk about what is a Power Supply
here I have a Sunshine P3005A
this Power Supply
is 30 volts and 5 amps
when you're working with phones, 5 amps is enough
30 volts it's more than enough
with 12 volts would be enough
30 volts 5 amps, this Power Supply has 4 memories
with this we can have 4 configurations
I have, for example, 4 volts 4 amps in one configuration, that's what I use
in another I have 1 volt 2 amps, in another I have 3 volts 2 amps
and it's something that I can change depending on what I'm going to do
I like this Power Supply, I've been using it for over a year
and it's very stable
you can find this Power Supply with your local distributors
I couldn't find this on Aliexpress, I bought it here in Guatemala
at the beginning of 2020
I liked it I was surprised
but while researching I came across this brand, the Korad brand
if you notice, is exactly the same Power Supply
what someone told me was, that the same factory that makes these Power Supplies are the same ones that make the Sunshine
Sunshine only put it's name on it
but I do not care about that
So, this Korad is the same as Sunshine
is exactly the same if you can notice it has
4 memories, a lock, this is so you can lock it
it has the OCP
which means Over Current Protection and OVP which means Overvoltage Protector
it has an on button and an off button
has a knob that we can move, later I will explain how to move it correctly to configure it
What are we looking for in a Power Supply?
The most important thing is that they are 4 digits, at least
it's a bit difficult to work with Power Supplies that have 3 digits so we need it to be at least 4 digits
I dare say that I will replace this Power Supply with this one
this is the new one that I'll be buying
It's a RD, they only sell the monitor, if you notice it costs the same as the Power Supply, but it's just the monitor
I have to connect the cables in the back side of that monitor
this gives me more accesibility, if you notice it has 9 memories I think
yes, it has 9 memories
and it has other functions that will help me
I'll be buying one of these, it's Riden brand
I said RD before, the brand is Riden
this is the new stuff that I'll be buying
that's new stuff that I'll be buying to do a review, not for now
but if I decided to change it, I would choose one of those
I can buy the monitor and a 60 volt power supply and connect it to the monitor to give me more settings
Now, I recommend this one
is practically the same as Sunshine
but if you're starting, listen well, if you're just starting
this tool, it's Nice Power brand, I know it's Chinese
this costs $28 from China
this is a good choice for those who are just starting out
of course, it doesn't have memories or more settings like this one
that can lock and all that stuff
but it is a Power Supply of 30 volts 5 amps
with 4 knobs to move the current and voltage
and the most important, which is difficult to find in Power Supplies
is a Power Supply of 4 digits
this one has 4 digits, I talked to a supplier and they recommended this one
has 133 ratings and 234 have been sold
I'll leave the links below if you want to buy this one
the new monitor or if you are just starting out and want to buy this
you can also ask to your local providers for the Sunshine, Korad
or the Riden, remember it is just a monitor
they also sell the shell so you can put the Power Supply in it, so you can buy it separately
What do we have here? This Power Supply has 4 memories
I have 1, 2, 3 and 4 memories
we have a button that will lock the supplier
for example, if I set the memory #1
then I press here On/Off is to give way to this tension to the outputs
the Power button is here
this is the Power button, you can turn it on and choose some configuration and then press On/Off
if I press On, then we have the output
we have that voltage we set here
in the outputs, now I can press Off and this is off
If I set it to On, and press on Lock
this is locked, I can't change anything
to unlock it just press and hold
and hear the beep, I can change it again
Now, for example, if I set it to memory #2
let's set it to memory #3
if I want to change the voltage
ok, so I press here where it says Voltage/Current
and with these buttons I can change it depending on the configuration that I want
For example, if I want to set
3 volts or 2.5, I can change it and with this knob I can set it to 2.5
the same could be done with this
with Current I can change the current
adjust it with these arrows or with the knob
in theory, this is what this Power Supply is
is very practical to use
for example, if I wanted to save this configuration in some memory, as we all know
we just have to keep pressing, let me do it again
if I wanted to set it at 3 amps in this memory, I would only have to press and hold
ok, that should do it, I'm with this one, if I set this one I have the memory I saved
this has an OCP and OVP, these are in case of shorts
this Power Supply can block it
or don't block it, with the phone repair we have this disabled
so we can see consumptions or circuits or components that heat up
the use of this Power Supply is very easy
for me, this is a tool that you don't need to read instructions
to be able to use it
I just connect my iPower and that's all
So
this is what I could recommend you, this is what I'm using actually
this is not a review where I'm going to disassemble it and see what it has and everything, no
the conversations we are going to have in this series
is talk about the tools that I'm using, what I can recommend
and I will always look for cheaper options
for all those who are just starting out, so, that's the idea of this channel series
this is Episode 1, so we'll improve over time
so
This episode was about the Sunshine P3005A
a Power Supply of 30 volts 5 amps
with 4 memories, very easy to use
very practical and I highly recommend it
if you can get it with your provvviders
if you can get it with your locar providers
perfectly, if you don't, I'll leave you the links of this Korad
which is exactly the same
of this Nice Power which is $30 cheaper than the other one, and
the monitor that I'm going to buy later
thank you so much for watching this first episode of
Tools and... Coffee
that was the name you chose for this series
this was the first video, so stay tuned because every week we'll be talking about some tool
I don't have too much to talk about this, it is a Power Supply
