Linear Power Supply / 13.8 Vdc / 12A Max / Solid-State Regulation
The RS-12A is a linear regulated DC power supply designed for radio communication equipment and other electronics requiring stable 13.8 Vdc output. It employs solid-state electronic regulation to maintain consistent output voltage even under varying input conditions and load demands. The unit incorporates a heavy-duty heatsink for thermal management during extended operation at continuous current levels. A current limiter protects the supply from damage due to output overload or short-circuit conditions. The design maintains regulation at reduced input voltages, ensuring operational stability in environments with fluctuating AC mains.
