1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,439
this is my car this is my wife's car and this right here is the power supply

2
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:13,519
tester I just bought from chroma system solutions that cost more than both of

3
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:15,240
them combined why am I smiling because

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:19,199
with this I'm going to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff the

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,680
good from the bad we're going to be able to take power supplies like this and

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,800
blow them the freak up but of course in order to do that we're going to need to

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:31,960
open it up aren't we which is going to involve some uh heavy

8
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,760
tools oh I'm not supposed to do that you

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,680
can see he's genuinely upset I've been 6 months researching this what are you

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:46,399
doing man we're going to have some fun today and it's going to be sponsored by

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:52,280
Future lus here didn't get the memo till we were done filming but apparently this

12
00:00:48,199 --> 00:00:56,000
video is sponsored by C Sonic imagine

13
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,960
having the stones the Swagger to sponsor

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,640
content about a piece of testing equipment that has the potential to to

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:05,600
make your products look bad compared to the competition clearly they've got a

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,960
lot of confidence in their products and you can check out seic power supplies at

17
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:09,960
the link down

18
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:23,560
below you swear on your mother's life that this is the good shiz right that's

19
00:01:20,759 --> 00:01:27,040
what C Sonic said they help me spec this and then I basically just got their spec

20
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:30,880
just the newer stuff the newer stuff so we have better power supply testing

21
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,119
equipment than a Tier 1 power supply manufacturer I'm assuming they've

22
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:38,280
upgraded since we talked so maybe how strong are your wrists pretty good I

23
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:41,920
didn't bring an impact driver and there's a lot of screws up there L LTT

24
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:47,799
store.com you don't even have like a power anything no just use your guns man

25
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:53,079
oh my God I love our screwdriver but these are a little long to do by hand

26
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,920
there's like 25 of them it's all about

27
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:59,159
right tool for the job right how's your ARM man I almost beat you I got eight of

28
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:02,920
them out already dude we couldn't find impact drive is it a drill let me load

29
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,560
up an impact driver and then start working on these side

30
00:02:04,399 --> 00:02:12,680
ones oh that didn't work waa this is looking real scientific

31
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:18,760
holy okay come here this is really cool now it's all fine and good to put

32
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,040
stickers on your package fragile this

33
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:26,720
side up we all know what couriers do they see that they go let's play point

34
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:31,200
the arrow down right well this guarantees they never did it if this

35
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:35,959
indicator is red make a notation of delivery receipt blah blah blah see

36
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:40,720
watch boom perar red that means it stayed right side up the whole time it

37
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:44,640
was in transit super cool right now that he's crumpled up the serial number in

38
00:02:42,599 --> 00:02:47,360
theory these have serial numbers on them so that you know they weren't switched

39
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:52,840
in transit is this open now hold on hold on

40
00:02:50,760 --> 00:03:01,319
hold on wait okay no it's okay it's fine we got no we got to get the moment no I

41
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,319
know I know it's one two 3 Let's Go

42
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:06,440
come on well fudge here we

43
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:16,599
go well that was a little anticlimactic check it out there's another one inside

44
00:03:14,239 --> 00:03:21,560
come on David check so this indicates not only did it stay right side up but

45
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:25,959
it didn't tip because you can see the sand will like go to one side or

46
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:33,439
whatever test instrumentation and automated test systems power conversion

47
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:34,959
wow free us b key uh no no that's I

48
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:38,959
think that's the software key sofware yeah I don't know if it if it's true in

49
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:42,640
the new software we're getting but the old software that's the license key if

50
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,400
you lose that it's 70 grand replace it 70 grand I'm pulling the number up my

51
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:51,040
butt but it's it's expens don't lose that no no no no no no put put it back

52
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:57,720
how much power can this whole thing draw or does it the whole thing draw so

53
00:03:54,560 --> 00:04:00,760
208 3phase at 50 amps is what it's rated

54
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,959
for what the that's what

55
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:09,159
Watt that's what the ca's rated for this is rated for 10,000 Watts uh maybe um I

56
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,280
haven't done the conversion in my head but we can only draw the maximum that

57
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:17,840
the source will allow and that's 3,500 Watts 3,500 Watts that means that we'll

58
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:21,880
be able to test basically any power supply on the market because anything

59
00:04:19,799 --> 00:04:26,840
over about 2,000 watts is going to trip a North American breaker and anything

60
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:30,080
over about what is it like 2500 3,000 WTS that's going to trip a European

61
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,479
breaker anyway we're on the limit of what Europe can do oh this is really

62
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:41,840
cool you can see from the plug we've got a ground connection to this gigantic

63
00:04:38,759 --> 00:04:44,560
bare metal strip here and then unlike a

64
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:48,560
normal server shelf these are bare metal as well and they're screwed in like this

65
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:54,520
what that means is that every single shelf every piece of metal in this

66
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,479
entire enclosure is grounded so in a

67
00:04:54,520 --> 00:05:01,960
production environment that's important because well if a if a live Le would is

68
00:05:00,039 --> 00:05:05,479
short to the chassis yeah and an operator was touching it you want to

69
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:10,039
make sure the operator isn't the lowest path to ground right so we'll have all

70
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:13,680
of these green wires everywhere right and even on the powder coated stuff

71
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:17,000
it'll go straight through they'll powder coat afterwards and make sure the stud

72
00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:22,039
touches the actual metal that's also why the whole thing's enclosed locked safety

73
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:26,240
labels the whole shebang okay there's shall we take off

74
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,520
there's a monitor yeah there's a computer there's a computer on here

75
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:34,520
comes with a little shelf and everything yeah look at that I asked for the Shelf

76
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:38,440
oh okay how much did I pay for the Shelf $130,000 no no I mean just I have no

77
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,080
idea you didn't even ask what the different options are worth or anything

78
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:46,840
like to decide if we could have provided our own shelf maybe like how much should

79
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,840
I pay for this Logitech mouse oh not

80
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:53,600
even a rechargeable battery in there brother is there a computer did I pay

81
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:57,680
for a computer yes it's industrial grade Dell computer oh my god oh look it comes

82
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:02,360
with the key what is with all of these discs why do we have discs you even

83
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:08,560
included a USB key are they just all the same thing or what like oh my God Kyle

84
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:14,039
yes they don't expect us to build our own bloody cable harnesses here do they

85
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:16,680
those are like 24 pin ATX pins and

86
00:06:14,039 --> 00:06:20,880
here's a 24 pin ATX connector do I have to like build my own DIY power supply

87
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:25,560
here or what why are you telling me this like you're the one who's actually going to be building this stuff well do you

88
00:06:24,199 --> 00:06:30,080
understand how configurable this machine is trust me you want to build youring

89
00:06:27,919 --> 00:06:35,240
cables you see all of these ones yeah you see how it says load 2 3 4 5 6

90
00:06:33,039 --> 00:06:41,599
7even yeah those are these guys okay so if these like overcurrent or something

91
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:43,800
then would they blow their load no

92
00:06:41,599 --> 00:06:47,919
no you know what we'll go through it once we actually do a rundown of each of

93
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:51,720
the modules um and I'll explain why those are important yeah check it out I

94
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:56,080
made a whole thing oh they actually connect together that's Prett cool yeah

95
00:06:53,680 --> 00:07:02,000
that's not in but yeah that's what she said I think we should go bottom to top

96
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:08,560
reason being because that's where power comes in so this is a

97
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:11,240
3,000 volt amp AC so we'll be able to

98
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:15,720
test any PC power supply on the market and realistically just about any other

99
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,879
power supply as well so this is also a three-phase power supply it can do both

100
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,199
single and three-phase but we only have it hooked up for single phase right now

101
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:27,360
because we're only targeting adx power supplies eventually we might do service

102
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:32,919
stuff but that's in the future what's cool about this is it can do any

103
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:36,240
anything with the power so it can do 240

104
00:07:32,919 --> 00:07:38,080
volts 50 HZ for European Brothers it can

105
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:43,479
do 11060 or 1260 for North America it can also start

106
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:47,840
injecting like yeah can we simulate dirty power dirty power power like bad

107
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:53,120
power so we can we can Brown out the power we can overvolt the power we can

108
00:07:50,599 --> 00:07:56,919
inject harmonics into the actual AC sine wave like if you had a blender or some

109
00:07:54,879 --> 00:08:02,520
crap running Elsewhere on the circuit like a very noisy like motor somewhere

110
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,199
that like feeding very like dirty a blender yeah or microwave or

111
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:11,360
something on the there's no motor in a microwave except it's been the turntable that's probably not the problem yeah

112
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:16,319
probably the worst thing to compare it to but it it it can do that and it can

113
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:20,840
do that all automatic thing what does this do all right so that's an onoff

114
00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:25,479
controller it turns stuff on and off um oh my god really that's all it does uh

115
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:30,039
yeah what's this de ShortCircuit protection and ovp tester so basically

116
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:34,719
that will short out the power Supply the most fun test ever as well as it will

117
00:08:32,599 --> 00:08:39,440
overvolt the power supply so it takes this is one of our likely fire starters

118
00:08:36,839 --> 00:08:44,159
then right here maybe so what it does is it'll take voltage from the DC source

119
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:47,800
and add it to the output from the power supply so if you're getting 12 volts out

120
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,920
it will just like add a couple voltage to that and see if the power supply holy

121
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,760
crap this is not supposed to be happening and and cut and cuts it yeah

122
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,120
right you claim this is where things get interesting as we were talking about

123
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,600
before this is the Anderson connection panel these all hook into these loads

124
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:09,160
which we'll get to in a minute and that's basically the output of the AC

125
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:15,120
source so that's where we plug power supplies into got it okay so after after

126
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:22,440
adapting it from that to normal plug right so our AC source is as clean or

127
00:09:17,959 --> 00:09:25,680
dirty as we Speck it to be and this is

128
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,680
effectively your wall outlet at home but

129
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:32,160
you know with an adap well so the idea with this is to actually have a test

130
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:37,240
enclosure that we put down here and plug into this or we even make a back plane

131
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:42,360
that just slots in right cuz these are all very precisely put in place right so

132
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:47,399
we could easily have like a PCB with Anderson connectors the PCB Mount ones

133
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:52,440
not regular ones sure that we could just slide in and there's power these are all

134
00:09:50,079 --> 00:09:58,720
your signal stuff that goes up to um this guy and this guy yeah and these are

135
00:09:55,240 --> 00:10:00,760
all these and um these channels I

136
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:05,519
believe are temperature sensing channels that is a byproduct of this guy Okay

137
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:10,680
cool so this is basically the business end where we plug the victims in and the

138
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:14,480
idea is that by having an enclosure here we can control the environment that the

139
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:20,320
power supply is operating in so that we could run any number of different

140
00:10:16,839 --> 00:10:23,279
permutations clean power dirty power

141
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:28,480
cold hot there's a more practical thing for an enclosure so when

142
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:33,760
power supplies blow up we don't yeah that too this this yeah what's this

143
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,680
point uh so it's a timing noise analyzer

144
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:41,079
the module has a whole bunch of slots that you can stick into it what these do

145
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:44,680
is Monitor all the signals right so if

146
00:10:41,079 --> 00:10:47,519
you have 12 volts 5 Vols and 3.3 this is

147
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:51,839
monitoring it from a past fail event so we don't actually get data out of this

148
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:56,600
so you set limits and this will see if it breaks those limits got it well where

149
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:01,320
do we get data from then uh this guy okay oh and that's missing that's the

150
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:04,480
oscilloscope I see they allow a variety of third party oscilloscopes we haven't

151
00:11:02,839 --> 00:11:08,399
decided on one yet but that's going to go there a four Channel oscilloscope and

152
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:12,200
that will give you pretty graphs and like actual things that people can

153
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:15,680
understand where this will give you the past fail data now here's something I

154
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:20,880
need to understand a little bit better if our were l oh wait no I get it oh my

155
00:11:18,959 --> 00:11:28,279
God why do we need so many of them okay cool I spent the majority of time like

156
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:30,079
gaming the system to get us this the

157
00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:35,720
idea of these is we have 400 WTS 400 wats 400 watts

158
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:44,200
400 wat 400 4 4 400 these are eight 400 WT loads and one dual 100

159
00:11:41,639 --> 00:11:48,600
watt load so these Can it can do 200 Watts total but 100 on each channel the

160
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:53,279
idea is this is for your 5 volts and your 3.3 most power supplies are under

161
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:57,160
100 Watts on those rails there are a few that are above only older stuff the

162
00:11:55,560 --> 00:12:02,440
newest stuff the 1600 watts can sometimes do 125 these loads can be

163
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:06,560
connected in parallel right so you can set all of these guys to 12 vs the

164
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:11,240
reason why I went with so many is something called slew rate so that's the

165
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:17,040
rate at which these loads can change their demand right okay so each one of

166
00:12:14,199 --> 00:12:23,519
these loads can change the demand at 6 amps per microc so you take 6 amps you

167
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:25,199
multiply by 12 you get uh 60 72 so 72

168
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:30,480
watts each one of these can change their load at 72 watts per micros with all

169
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:37,880
eight of these loads we can change the the the rate of power draw at 760 watts

170
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:41,360
per microc okay the idea was to

171
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:44,079
electronically simulate 3090 kicking on

172
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:48,600
but then NVIDIA released 4090 and I was like I don't have enough space so the

173
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,320
future goal is just to have a test bench right next to it where you can just

174
00:12:50,079 --> 00:12:56,440
literally hook the power supply instead of hooking into this hook it into an actual computer and simulate a real

175
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,480
world example well think about that won't be as repeatable though no but

176
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:05,240
think about it this way someone's complaining about a certain power supply blowing up under certain architecture

177
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:09,480
you can build that architecture get the power supply put the power supply down

178
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:13,920
and monitor the voltages as it's and then we could create a simulated load

179
00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:17,399
based on what we monitored and find out if anything will blow up you hide a guy

180
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:22,320
to automate GPU testing just get him to get a script that cranks it to like 150%

181
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:26,199
and just sends it as we get more experience using this I'm assuming we're

182
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:31,399
going to come up with our own stuff cool and then what do these do so uh single

183
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,880
phase power meter Yeah so basically efficiency so if we want if we want to

184
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:40,440
test uh 80 whatever or maybe something more

185
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:42,920
meaningful like 90 plus yeah sure okay

186
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:46,360
so that that just monitors your power through and then this just looks like a

187
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:50,240
basic ass multimeter yeah digital multimeter so it's got It's got a um if

188
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,000
we have an oscilloscope do we need this there's a reason why we need it I've

189
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:56,360
forgotten it um I'm going to blame I'm going to blame food again you know what

190
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:02,560
I've forgotten our sponsor see Sonic man

191
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,680
those guys never cease to amaze me great people great power supplies I mean

192
00:14:05,199 --> 00:14:11,240
clearly because if they didn't have the confidence to know this thing is going to make them look good rather than bad

193
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,880
why would they have gotten involved in helping us Speck it this is like I said

194
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:19,320
very similar to the unit they have although ours is a little bit newer

195
00:14:17,079 --> 00:14:22,959
unless they upgrade which means that if they're doing a great job of Designing

196
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:27,320
their power supplies there shouldn't be any surprises so go check them out at

197
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:32,079
the link down in the video description they've got long warranties great

198
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:35,480
efficiency just they're quiet what what else can you ask for if you guys think

199
00:14:33,959 --> 00:14:40,320
Kyle and I are brutal with each other you wouldn't believe what doesn't make it into the videos we just uploaded an

200
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:47,560
exclusive on Floatplane.com of me and Jake and it gets pretty spicy BMWs are

201
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:47,560
bad cars Jake come at me
