- Runs on standard 110 V 60 Hz mains
- Compact 5.5 × 4.3 × 10 in bench footprint
Tekpower TP1863 bench supply
The Tekpower TP1863 is a regulated DC power supply delivering 13.8 volts at up to 12 amps. It suits hobbyists, technicians and automotive workshops needing stable voltage for testing radios, chargers or 12 V systems. Fuse protection guards the output against accidental shorts.
Check 110 V 60 Hz mains before use
Verify that the bench or workshop outlet supplies 110 V AC at 60 Hz, as the unit does not accept other line voltages. Ensure the load you connect does not exceed the 12 A maximum rating. Confirm that 13.8 V matches the voltage requirement of the device under test.
Metal chassis with front binding posts
The steel enclosure measures 5.5 by 4.3 by 10 inches and weighs 9 lb, giving a stable footprint that resists sliding when leads are tugged. Front-panel binding posts accept banana plugs or bare wire for quick hook-up. Ripple stays at or below 30 mV for clean DC output.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the TP1863 and do I need to buy a mains lead separately?
The unit ships with a built-in 110 V AC 60 Hz input cord and internal fuse protection so no separate mains lead is required.
Should I rely on the 10 A continuous or the 12 A peak rating for my load?
Plan for 10 A continuous; the 12 A figure is a short-term maximum and sustained loads above 10 A may trip the internal fuse.
How much does the 30 mV ripple affect sensitive radio or audio gear powered at 13.8 V?
At ≤ 30 mV ripple the output is clean enough for most HF/VHF transceivers and bench work, though ultra-low-noise audio stages may still prefer a linear supply.
