I have a 36V 8.8 Amp qualtek power supply that I want to bring for a friend. I'm not planning on checking bags so it will have to be carry on. Is this ok to bring on a plane? I can't seem to find any rules on power supplies on airplanes in the US.

It will depend on how the airport security people see it. If they think the unit's size or mass or sharp edges make it useable as a weapon, they'll say "no." Probably they'll say nothing. How risk tolerant are you?

Note: to a security agent, they'll probably just see it as "computer equipment" or "electrical equipment" or something like that - they probably don't care what kind of equipment. Don't get too worked up about how it's a "power supply" and not "computer equipment". (Disclaimer: I've never had to deal with American TSA)

I would describe this - truthfully - as a "computer equipment spare part" to any layman that would only associate a power supply with some plug-in device.

@DeepSpace There's a nonzero risk of them spontaneously catching fire. If they're packed in the carry-on there's a higher chance someone will notice and put it out compared to if it catches fire in the baggage compartment.

If by "power supply" you mean something you connect to a wall socket, and which can then supply DC power to some electronics, then certainly -- people routinely fly with those in their cabin baggage (they might call them laptop chargers instead, but a power supply is what it is).
If you're speaking about a battery bank that doesn't need to be receive grid power while it puts out DC, then different rules apply.

In general, electronic devices are allowed, provided they don't contain forbidden substances (anything highly flammable, radioactive, explosive, liquids etc.). Practically, most devices without large batteries in them are OK. Batteries are indeed dangerous, hence the limits and the requirements to keep devices with batteries in carry-on.
Anecdotally, I once travelled with as similarly looking device which weighted about 16kg and occupied most of my checked in bag.

Practically, most devices without large batteries in them are OK. Batteries are indeed dangerous, hence the limits and the requirements to keep devices with batteries in carry-on.
Anecdotally, I once travelled with as similarly looking device which weighted about 16kg and occupied most of my checked in bag.
In general, electronic devices are allowed, provided they don't contain forbidden substances (anything highly flammable, radioactive, explosive, liquids etc.). Practically, most devices without large batteries in them are OK. Batteries are indeed dangerous, hence the limits and the requirements to keep devices with batteries in carry-on.

It will depend on how the airport security people see it. If they think the unit's size or mass or sharp edges make it useable as a weapon, they'll say "no." Probably they'll say nothing. How risk tolerant are you?

Note: to a security agent, they'll probably just see it as "computer equipment" or "electrical equipment" or something like that - they probably don't care what kind of equipment. Don't get too worked up about how it's a "power supply" and not "computer equipment". (Disclaimer: I've never had to deal with American TSA)
