Can I put two 12v bench power supplies in series = 24v?
Just bought two of the 12v supplies from ramboy at 19.00 each. I would like to hook the outputs of these in series to create a 24v power supply. Is this possible or is there something that would prevent me from doing this?
Each supply is 12v at 13 amps so I'm thinking I'll get 24v at 13 amps in series.... Ron |

Depends on if the outputs are floating or not.

Here's a link to the PS - http://ramboy.com/cosel.htm
When I get them I'll check them per fliirs instructions. Thanks. Ron |

Got the two PS today and checked them per Fliirs instructions. Checked out ok so I hooked them up in series. All's well. 24v
One other question. Can I just run one ps if I only need 12v without disconnecting it from the other. In other words, just power up one and leave the other one off and still use the same two output leads; Pos from PS-1 and Neg from PS-2? When I do this I get 12v but want to make sure I won't do any damage. I would think not but want to make sure... Thanks Ron |
