Irwin Powerbase S5 Power Supply / Power Pack – Blue – 1555

The Irwin Powerbase S5 Power Supply is a robust and reliable educational power pack, specifically designed for use in school science laboratories and teaching environments. Offering a comprehensive range of AC and DC outputs, this versatile unit meets the demands of a wide variety of practical investigations across physics, chemistry, and biology.

With a fixed 5 amp maximum output current, the Powerbase S5 provides ample power for common classroom experiments, including electrical circuit investigations, optics experiments, heating experiments, and studies of current, voltage, and resistance. Its clear voltage selection and stable output make it ideal for demonstrating fundamental scientific principles safely and effectively.

The unit features a range of capacitor‑smoothed DC voltages (3, 7, 10, 13, 17, and 20V) as well as AC voltage outputs (3, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 15V), allowing flexibility across multiple experiments. For added safety, the maximum voltage is restricted via an Allen‑key‑operated voltage lock, while a push‑button thermal cut‑out protects the unit from overheating.

Finished in a durable blue case and built for long‑term classroom use, the Irwin Powerbase S5 operates from a standard 230/240V AC mains supply and includes internal fuse protection. The unit is supplied with a 2‑year warranty, providing peace of mind for schools and colleges.
