DS-Power4 Power Supply

The DS-Power4 puts the right power in the driver's hands: adjustable voltage, stable current, and total safety for every slot session.

Within the range of electronics from DS, the power supply DS-Power4 (reference DS-0007) is the practical and reliable answer to one of the most important requirements of any setup: having a clean, adjustable, and protected power supply. Whether you manage a club track or have a demanding home setup, the quality of the current reaching the rails makes the difference between erratic behaviour and precise, predictable driving.

Main features

• Adjustable voltage from 6 to 18V via an analogue potentiometer, allowing you to tailor the track response to the type of motor, the layout, and the skill level of the drivers.
• Current of 4 amps, sufficient to maintain a constant current delivery even with high-consumption motors during hard accelerations or long straights.
• Integrated short-circuit and overload protection, which automatically activates to safeguard electronic controllers and the internal components of the cars.
• Robust construction with efficient heat dissipation, designed to withstand long usage sessions without voltage fluctuations.

Voltage adjustment: why it matters

Not all motors or tracks require the same voltage. A technical circuit with many tight corners may benefit from a lower voltage that offers greater control, while a fast racing track allows for increasing the voltage to exploit top speed. The analogue potentiometer of the DS-Power4 provides direct access to that range of 6 to 18V, without menus or complications: you turn, adjust, and race.

Safety for controllers and electronics

Modern electronic controllers are sensitive components. A voltage spike or a momentary short circuit can irreversibly damage them. The DS-Power4 incorporates a comprehensive protection system that cuts off power in the event of any anomaly, protecting both the controllers and the motors and electronics of the cars. This is a guarantee especially valued in club environments, where the power supply may be connected for hours on end with multiple users.

Ideal for…

• Slot clubs and associations that need a robust power supply for continuous use.
• Enthusiasts with home tracks who want to control the behaviour of their cars according to the type of motor installed.
• Installations where cars of different categories or motor configurations are alternated, taking advantage of the flexibility of the 6-18V range.

Frequently asked questions

What voltage range does the DS-Power4 cover?

The DS-Power4 allows you to adjust the output voltage between 6 and 18 volts via its analogue potentiometer, thus covering everything from beginner setups to more demanding competition configurations.

How many amps does it deliver at maximum?

The power supply delivers up to 4 amps of constant current, making it suitable for high-consumption motors without the voltage dropping under load.

What happens if a short circuit occurs on the track?

The DS-Power4 automatically activates its integrated protection, cutting off power to prevent damage to controllers, motors, and other electronics. Once the issue is resolved, the power supply can be reset normally.

Is it suitable for use in clubs with long sessions?

Yes. Its heat dissipation system and robust construction are specifically designed to withstand long sessions of continuous use without voltage fluctuations, making it a common choice in club installations.

What is the reference for this product?

The catalogue reference for the DS-Power4 power supply is DS-0007.

The DS-Power4 (DS-0007) is an adjustable slot car power supply by DS, delivering up to 4 amps across a 6–18V range. Built-in short-circuit and overload protection keeps electronic controllers and motors safe during extended racing sessions. A reliable choice for both home layouts and club installations requiring stable, adjustable power output.
