Roger007 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 what do I need to put between 2 seperate power supplies so that if a short circuit is created on one the other wont go down with it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Separate power supplies are completely separate. Shorting one has no effect on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi AG,Not always completely true. I have experienced dual PSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Ante,If you short one output of a power supply that uses a common transformer and the overloaded transformer begins to smoke then one output affects the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 No smoking needed, the second channel dropped its regulation due to voltage drop. You know they don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostViking Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Are they separate boxes, or a dual unit in the same box? What is the connection to the load like? Are you using the PS is series or parallel? Please provide more information. There is not enough here to answer the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
