Irwin Powerbase S8 Power Supply / Power Pack – Blue – 1556

The Irwin Powerbase S8 Power Supply is a high‑performance, education‑grade power pack designed to meet the demands of modern school science laboratories. Offering exceptional flexibility and control, the S8 delivers both AC and DC outputs simultaneously, making it ideal for advanced teaching and practical investigations across multiple science disciplines.

The Powerbase S8 provides a variable output of 0–12V at up to 8 amps, with voltages selected in precise 1‑volt steps via a reliable relay switching system. AC and DC outputs can be used in any combination, up to a total combined output of 8 amps, allowing multiple experiments or components to be powered at the same time.

For added classroom safety, the unit is equipped with a panel‑mounted thermal cut‑out to protect against overheating. An integrated output voltage limiter allows teachers and technicians to preset a maximum voltage, helping ensure safe operation during student use. Housed in a durable blue casing, the Powerbase S8 is built for long‑term reliability and is supplied with a 2‑year warranty.
