Another thing I noticed is when both power supplies are of, there is continuity between earth and the 5V prongs on the unmodified PSU.
The modified PSU doesn't have this, but I did not check before I modified it.

hello, is the kd-175 (14,4V and OVP-mod )short circuit protected ?

Remklep - Something is strange alright. If the cases are connectehave an outlet tester?d to the ground pins on the plugs and the plugs are plugged into a grounded socked, there should be no potential, AC or DC because they are all connected together. Do you have an outlet tester?

The OCP circuit remains intact even after the OVP mod as can be seen here:

Why do you ask??

Guys,
Is there a reason this temperature sensor is located at this area?
I know for a fact themperature is building up only at the high voltage area.
Also the air flow of fresh air lands on the sensor way before the worm area so why there? It would more sense to me to controll temperature buil up at the end...
Thanks
Robert

Hoping that someone can help me....

Does anyone know what the pinout is for a Delta Electronics DPS-450FB B power supply is? I have been searching the web but can't find any schematics or pinout diagrams.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Try connecting these 2 pins together. It should power up.

Any process on the dell 6650 and combining two?

Yo stgdz.

Just connect em up in series and go. No mods needed for series operation. DC ground is not connected to the case.

For parallel operation connect pins D1 together to utilize the current share function.

Has anyone figured out how to adjust the output voltage of a Dell Poweredge 2850 power supply, model 7000814? I just converted a couple to be charger power supplies, but would like to be able to tweak the output voltage.

Along these lines, I have been able to isolate the output from the chassis ground by going inside the box and remounting the two circuit boards to the metal chassis with nylon 4-40 screws with nylon washers between the boards and the chassis mounting ears. Then I can use them in series.

Anyway, I'd like to be able to tweak the voltage of the supplies. Can anyone describe how to do this for this model of supply? I searched the thread, and it seems that connecting pin A2 to +12V through a resistor (say, 470 ~ 1K ohm) puts the output at 12.5V, but it would be nice to have finer control than that.

Thanks in advance.

Hello wevets.

You have the 2850 PSU model that doesn't have the internal voltage adjust pot.
There is no external way to increase voltage beyond the use of the current share pin(A2).

Didn't seem to do anything different. Even if those two are not connected I get two green lights on the front of the PS. The top one blinks on-off though.

Any idea what pins are the ground?

[QUOTE=xandrios;22955250]Try connecting these 2 pins together. It should power up.

After some more playing around I found that if I connect the 4 pins I have indicated in red together the unit would power up. Not sure if that's correct but it seems to work. Also as indicated in the photo attached....the two big post at the far left are the 12v lines, the 4 post next to them are the grounds. On the right side, two posts are 5 volt and two are 3 v. Not sure what the other big post in the lower right corner is.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Appreciate it.

Is there an internal way? I'm OK with going inside the box.

Very good roadsplat. The pinout that I've found seems to have been close. It showed pin 7 as the on/off and pin 10 as ground. Main +12V and Ground pins match up close as well.
