    Hey, I want to use an old xbox 360 PSU- 12V 175W output- for my 12V sup pump (pump/air compressor). When I connected the PSU to the pump directly the SUP pump worked without a problem until it switched to the air compressor( it does it automatically after the pressure reaches 1 psi. The moment...

    UK RCD before a 230v/24 PSU?

    Hi all I have seen a schematic drawing for a control panel recently where they (whoever drafted the drawings, designed the panel) show a RCD before the 230v/24v dc PSU, and the PSU is the only device downstream of the RCD in my mind this has no merit. The 24v secondary d.c side of the PSU...

    Can I use this switch button to turn an AC/DC PSU on and off?

    I would like to control a Power supply AC/DC connected to mains with an input of 230v (2.4A/115VAC; 1.2A/230VAC) and output 5v / 40A (200Watts). Can I use a switch button rated 3 A @ 250 V AC to turn it on and off? It would be one of these or something similar.

    Should I split PSU load?

    In my current smart home project I have a total load in the panel of around 30A. Should I just use one big PSU rated at 30A or split the load across say three 10A PSU's?
