Power question for two 120 watt pelts. Please help.

SniperLG · 07-17-2001, 09:01 AM

I'm don't have much electrical knowledge aside from 1 year of high school physics. The Vmax on the pelts is 24v. I have two 431 watt Enermax PSU's. I was wondering if you guys would suggest that I run the PSU's in parallel and have 24v running to each pelt. Please help.

SERIES, NOT parallel.

there's also that grounding trick you'd need to do (or is that for something else?)

To operate the power supplies in series you would need to disconnect the ground connection from one of them..

I suspect you may be better off looking for a more suitable power supply...
