About This Product
The lock suits student work where components may be damaged by over-voltage: a teacher or technician sets the highest voltage allowed and locks it. The ac and dc outputs may be used together while the combined current stays within 8.5A. Protection includes an electronic overload trip, a thermal transformer trip and a slow-blow primary fuse. Besides buyers across India, the Lockmaster Power Unit can be exported to institutions in Sudan, Mauritius, Kuwait, Turkmenistan, Estonia and Moldova.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How does the voltage lock work? The maximum output voltage is locked to a chosen setting using the key provided, so the unit cannot be turned above that level.
