I think your motor was probably vibrating because of the way brushless motors work. That's why they need three connectors. I was switching the wires in a brushless motor to reverse direction with a battery plugged in and it had a similar shaking while only 2/3 wires were connected. The other thing is that you mentioned gallium nitride (GaN) electronic parts. I know that those are generally higher quality and are used in computer chargers like those made by RavPower.

During your motor test I see that the voltage output actually dropped to almost nothing and that was most likely from a protection circuit like a crowbar. The low resistance of the tiny motor coil will seem like a dead short to the power supply, sometimes even if it is within operating ranges. This is perhaps due to the Impedance of the PS becoming larger that the load impedance. or something smart sounding..

Pulse width modulation (PWM) is used in a lot of high amp output power supply. If you had an oscilloscope you would see that when reaching the set limit of the power supply. It's still direct current (DC) but it has noise in the DC output. Being a prior electronic technician that did circuit card repairs, I do have the tools and knowledge to test these speculations you have.

A DC power supply was one of the first things I bought when I got into the hobby. When starting a new quad I'd set it to 1A and never needed a smoke stopper. I have no idea why everyone doesn't have one. They'll spend money on smoke stoppers but then use a battery to test everything, or batteries of different voltages. I only use my power supply for every quad. I only use batteries to test fly. The power supply was $60. Worth every penny and I use it for WAY more that just quadcopters.

I bought one of these just two days ago. Mainly for powering my gear, quads, goggles, vtx and so forth. But unfortunately I did fry mine in a second 😩. I was doing some current calibration for a little 120 mm toothpick, small motors without props. Under betaflight motor testing everything was quite fine. Pushed the motors to different rpm to read out current for calibration. Input was 12.4 V an 5A limitation. But as I moved my sticks on my transmitter to push the motors, I immediately fried it while cutting throttle all the way down to zero. Within betaflight I slightly adjusted power to the motors and that worked fine. But cutting throttle from high rpm did cause over-voltage I guess and killed my power supply in milliseconds. I am very sure that demage was not because of over current, as it exploded on throttle cut an not throttle raise. Any suggestions? Did you try anything similar? Or anyone else?

The reason behind this being so small is mainly the size of the capacitors they are using. Bigger more expensive power supplies use big bulk capacitors, and a lot of them to reduce any DC ripple. This thing at high loads like you where testing with the motor will for sure have huge ripple. Some electronic devices arnt designed to accept this ripple. Also this psu can also be used to charge up lithium batteries. No need to plug an additional charger onto it. 👍🏻

Joshua, I made (built, however you want to call it) a lab bench power supply about 2 years ago... I used a power supply board (which I just forgot the name 😬), one of those big AC to DC power supply that delivers 24v 10a and so on... It can output up to 30v and 5a (150w). And I honestly love it. But, for just this description, you can imagine the size of this thing... Right? 😬 So... I can't buy this one right now, but it's REALLY tempting! This one is only 100w on AC (if I'm not mistaken), but the space on my workbench it would save is fantastic. And I could keep my other one in the shelf for whenever I need it. So... Tempting.

GaN is certainly nice and all, but the actual advantage in terms of efficiency and size reduction is way smaller than manufactures want to make us believe. It would certainly be possible to build a same sized device with "conventional" transistors. Also there is nothing wrong about it being a switching PSU, but it depends heavily on the build quality (the Ruideng modules many people use, are also switching PSUs). Good switching supplies are even used in better HiFi applications by now. Still, when it comes to lower prices, the cheap chunky ones (using a big and heavy transformer) are more likely to produce a good quality DC voltage.

@@JoshuaBardwell Good call. I had also thought the cable seemed kinda flimsy and thin. Luckily I was able to find a similar style plug that appears to be a lot thicker and now it works fine. How does a company send out equipment with sub par wires? So basically if you buy this power supply you have to spend more money on a good power cable if you use it with gfci wall plugs. That's sucks. Thank you Bardwell for your help!!

Mine blew up after the current was jumping up and down couple of times

It is just bad, when I connected this power supply directly to the drone (instead of using smoke stopper, I use current limiting), so after testing motors, when I increases throttle and then decrease - back current just burn it out, and their support said just don't use it with the motors lol (I can give a link to the support ticket), they have to add protection of back current, but it doesn't have it

I didn't notice, but is the plug grounded? Also, if so, is the case correctly grounded?

The plug is three prong. I didn't check if the case is grounded but you'd hope so?
