TekPower TP1863 13.8V 12A Regulated Power Supply

SKU CH-0YV6-5DSRD

A 13.8 V regulated DC supply delivering 10 to 12 A for ham or CB radio gear with built-in fuse protection

  • TypeProprietary Power Supply
  • Stable 13.8 V output for ham/CB radios
  • 10–12 A current range powers amplifiers
  • Linear design keeps ripple low
  • Built-in fuse protects connected gear
  • 110 V 60 Hz input for US mains

Fixed 13.8 V output for radio equipment

The TekPower TP1863 delivers a regulated 13.8 V DC rail rated at 10 A continuous and 12 A peak. It is designed for ham and CB radios, amplifiers and similar gear that require a stable fixed voltage. The linear topology keeps output ripple low for clean RF performance. Input is 110 V AC at 60 Hz.

Fuse protection limits fault current

An internal fuse interrupts the circuit if the load exceeds safe levels, protecting both the supply and connected radios from damage. The unit ships ready to use with no extra configuration required. A one-year USA warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. No software or additional accessories are included in the package.

Verify your mains voltage and current draw

Confirm that your installation provides 110 V AC at 60 Hz before connecting the supply. Ensure the radio or amplifier you intend to power does not exceed the 12 A peak rating. The fixed 13.8 V output cannot be adjusted for devices needing other voltages. Buyers needing a different input voltage or higher current capacity should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Does the internal fuse on the TP1863 need periodic replacement under normal use?

The fuse protects the supply against overloads and only requires replacement if it blows due to a fault or sustained over-current.

What limits continuous output when running a 12 A load for long periods?

The linear design and fixed 13.8 V output mean thermal dissipation becomes the practical ceiling before the 10 A–12 A rating is reached.

How much heat and fan noise should I expect when the unit powers a CB radio all day?

Linear regulation converts excess voltage to heat, so the chassis warms noticeably; the internal fan runs continuously to manage temperature.
