- Today I am taking a look at the impressive Riden RD6018-W power supply kindly sent over for review by Banggood! This thing looks great but is even better than it looks - it can output over 1000w (but I could not test it on this video because my AC to DC converter isn't capable of it) and output 60v and 18 amps. In this video I got to put it thru its paces, and color me impressed. I also checked the accuracy against a Kaiweets HT118A which, in my independent testing was nearly perfect.

Pretty cool gadget, thanks for the review.
If I recall correctly (I have the 6012W but it's not with me at the moment), if you want to set a voltage or current that's a whole number, you can just press 1, 2, Enter (for example). It just makes it a little quicker and easier.
Oh freaking sweet! I just tried it and it works! Thank you! I've been toying with this unit for a bit and I haven't found anything particularly annoying about it, so I'm quite happy so far - do you dislike anything about yours?
@@SimpleElectronics To be honest, I've not used mine a massive amount (my work bench is a little "cluttered" at the moment). I bought the module, case and PSU separately as it was cheaper but the most annoying thing is that the fan in the PSU runs constantly. :-( I really need to mod it so it's temperature controlled. Apart from that it's brilliant and amazing value for money. As much as I want the 6018W now, 12A should suffice!
Keypad entry, fast screen updating, and no beeping would be ideal power supply features. I might have to keep it in mind for future workbench expansion!
I can be quite frugal at times (ahem) but now that I have this thing in my hands - I wonder if I would have spend all that money on my other solutions
it is great video, I like that , you shows many many details , and test the important data , I like that
Thanks for watching - I love Riden stuff, reach out if you want to send products for review
@@SimpleElectronics for now we do not release new products recently, if there are new products, we will consider that
@@SimpleElectronics Except the import data like how =many watts it can output. Pretty inmportant data that. Have you updated your findings? . . . . No.
I stumbled across your channel today looking for info on the 1041 multim. I really like how your videos are put together. I subscribed on the second video.
Thank you for the kind words and welcome!
4:07 The fuses included in the ziplock bag are only for testing in the event of a module failure.
They cannot be used as a replacement for those that are soldered in because the ones in the socket do not have proper heat dissipation and can cook in there.
Manual does comes in handy at times.
I wonder if a used server PSU could be modified to output a higher voltage. They are capable of huge current at 12V. They are pretty cheap on ebay. Or build a 12V to 60V boost converter
That would be interesting, I'm sure someone smarter than me could modify the regulation point! I would try if I had one but they are quite pricy for something that I could potentially brick!
These types of power supplys output very dirty power compared to purely analog ones but they are so nice to use I overlook that
Is it possible to control this with your own esp32 code?
What is the esp communication used?
OK, I found out it communicates over serial at 115200 baud,
so all I need to know is what commands it uses....
I need to reverse engineer the command set...
I want to link it to a MySQL and control it from many miles away...
Please can explain me about this power supply for mobile servicing. Is it suitable for mobile servicing shop?
Nice...
3:44 ohh good one😁😙
Very sweet little power supply. I'm with you...the beeping has to go. I really do love the keypad for entering values. I think that's the way to go over the knobs.
You and me both! (Was testing youtube's autoreply function!) but in all seriousness, I am taken aback by the quality of this thing
@13:57 you input 500v instead of 5v. I just got mine today and tried the same thing. you just needed to press 5 and enter.
yeah I get it further in the video, thanks :)
Dam I need this!! Do they have one already rigged up to run off 110v? Plug and play if you will
They have a kit actually! www.banggood.com/custlink/KDDd8Oofan
I couldn't handle the beeping. Just curious, is possible to mute the beep?
Yup, in the settings!
CR-1220 coin cell battery.
That is a realy nice power supply. One question though, why would you need WIFI on a power supply ?
control it with your android from a safe distance? monitor it from your buddy's house?
logging mostly :)
Yes inexpensive but if you want the rest: case and power supply it will cost you three time the price for the panel!
It isn't that bad considering you can power it from a relatively low cost 12v power supply or a computer power supply if you don't need more than 11.5v and anyway, quality costs money - this isn't a low quality unit!
Agreed, might as well buy a decent power supply instead of having to jury rig things. Also, you only get a 30 day warranty.. lol
Is this available with a case, or are you just expected to roll your own? It's a little odd to just have a front panel like this.
it could use a fan rack mounted behind the PCB
There is actually a case, but it only fits a 800w power supply: www.banggood.com/custlink/DGGy9jj1O8
If i bought this, i would make a case my self using ply wood and/or metal that i already have spare just for the front buck module and have the 60V mains PSU under the bench. That way, i can save space on the bench and save money.
Im not paying £18+ for that case when i already have all the parts already. Thats too expensive.
@@simontay4851 I find that a lot of the fun is hacking (for lack of a better term) together the final gadget that I personally want out of these electronics.
nice unit would this be good for a beginner ?
It would be the last power supply you ever bought. Just keep in mind you need an ac-dc converter as well!
@@SimpleElectronics thanks mate
needs larger display. does it come with a magnifying glass ?
It isn't that small! it looks great in person
put it on a big tablet and control it from the can!
Is this isolated from mains? Plan to get one with a new oscilloscope.
As long as your ac/DC converter is isolated from mains, this unit will be too
They are not that good mate. Mind easily blown when given freebies methinks. These units are:
noisy on the output line
noisy fan
terrible cooling design (so noisy fan kicks in too often)
awkward on/off switch (at the rear of the long case)
uses too much power in standby mode
doesn't come with the beefy power lead required if running from 120vac
cannot output 1000W in the US unless mods made
use el cheapo caps in the DC line
use under spec'd caps if running from 240vac
So yeah, great power supply if Banggood send me one. Then I'll get on here and delete this message.
Thanks for keeping it . . . . . . Simple
Been using it daily since I got it an experienced no problems at all with it. Maybe you're using it wrong
