| May 7 at 13:45 | comment | added | Justme | You have two 150W power supplies. If one of them takes longer to turn on and you have a load passing 10A between +15V and -15V, you might be applying +15V to -15V output. And 10A. It might be a good idea to state what load you need that requires 300W of dual supplies and making them with two discrete supplies instead of one? | |
| May 7 at 13:45 | comment | added | Tommy95 | Andy, I am wondering if perhaps the current might flow in an unintended way given the two power supplies tied via their V1- and V2+, the diodes would act as a protection against that. I am not sure where I would place the diodes | |
