Need to get MG Electronics Power Supply repaired...or NOT!?

Former Member

Hi.

I just bought a lot of Slot Car stuff, yes those cars that go around a track. The guy was serious about his hobby he didn't have the usual wall plug in power pack, he used a MG Electronics PS-10AD, 0-20 VDC at 10 Amps. Well this power supply doesn't work anymore. It does turn on and the red overload light stays on. It doesn't put out anything. I used my multimeter etc., nothing. I know that these are made overseas . They did retail for about $200. So the questions is were can I get it repaired OR should I ? I'm in Western MAss.

I did check the fuse , it's fine. I've got a heavy door stop on my hands, it does have a nice handle and cord on it !

Many thanks for info, Ted

    I was questioning whether problems with the outputs would trigger the overload circuit. My first simple check would be to use my ohm meter to look back into the output of the power supply to see if there is a short. Make sure the positive probe is on the positive terminal and the negative probe is on the negative. This could be as simple as a shorted filter cap.
