Product Information
Full details
The Voltcraft FSP-1134 is a robust 55W fixed voltage linear power supply designed for laboratory, workshop, and industrial environments. Its key benefit is providing a stable 13.8V DC at 4A, suitable for powering sensitive equipment. A potential caveat is its fixed output voltage, which may not suit all applications requiring variable voltage.

No, the FSP-1134 is a fixed voltage power supply with a set output of 13.8V DC. It is not adjustable.
What type of power supply is this?
This is a linear power supply, electronically regulated, with a fixed output voltage.
What are the dimensions of the power supply?
The dimensions are 145mm (width) x 113mm (height) x 250mm (depth).
What type of connector is used for the AC input?
The AC input uses a standard IEC C14 rubber connector.
Is this power supply suitable for sensitive laboratory equipment?
Yes, its electronically regulated and stable 13.8V DC output makes it suitable for many sensitive laboratory applications that require this specific voltage.
What is the weight of the FSP-1134?
The power supply weighs 3.4kg.
Troubleshooting
Power supply does not turn on.
Verify the IEC C14 power cable is securely connected to both the power supply and a live AC outlet. Check if the AC outlet is functioning by plugging in another device. Ensure the input voltage matches the 230V AC requirement.
No output voltage detected.
Check the connections to the 4mm output sockets. Ensure the current limiter has not been tripped by a short circuit or overload. Disconnect the load and test the output voltage without any connected device.
Output voltage is unstable or drops under load.
Ensure the connected device's current draw is within the 4A continuous limit. Check power cord and output connections for tightness. If the issue persists, the power supply may require servicing.
Overheating.
Ensure the power supply is placed in a well-ventilated area and that the air vents are not obstructed. Reduce the load if it is consistently near the maximum rating. If overheating continues, discontinue use and seek professional inspection.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Stable and regulated 13.8V DC output.
- Durable construction suitable for harsh environments.
- Built-in current limiter for device protection.
- Standard input and output connections for ease of use.
- Reliable performance for laboratory and industrial applications.
Cons
- Fixed output voltage (13.8V) is not adjustable.
- Linear design may be less energy-efficient than switching power supplies.
- Weighs 3.4kg, making it relatively heavy.
- Output current limited to 4A continuously, though can handle up to 6A briefly.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect a standard IEC C14 power cable to the input connector on the rear of the power supply.
- Plug the power cable into a suitable 230V AC mains socket.
- Connect your device or equipment to the 4mm output sockets using appropriate leads.
- Ensure the device's power requirements do not exceed the FSP-1134's output specifications (13.8V DC, 4A continuous).
Compatibility:
- Input Voltage: Compatible with 230V AC mains power.
- Output Voltage: Fixed at 13.8V DC. Ensure your connected device is compatible with this voltage.
- Output Current: Suitable for devices drawing up to 4A continuously. The power supply can handle brief surges up to 6A due to the current limiter.
- Connections: Uses standard 4mm binding posts for output and IEC C14 for AC input.
Care:
- Keep the power supply in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating.
- Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check the air vents for dust buildup and clean gently with compressed air if necessary.
- Ensure all connections are secure and free from corrosion.
