Paralleling Power Supply Units Made Easy ???
I am considering paralleling a couple of 20a variable adjustable psu's for 40a charging. According to what I have read on the world wide inter-web, it can be done quite easily, provided the following ...

If you don't know what you're doing and/or don't know electronic theory, you may *think* you need diodes. Those who charged with converter(s), solar charge controller, and alternator knows these parallel power sources pose no problems. There are no stability issues or whatever, and no diodes are needed.BFL13 wrote:
What's with all these weird diodes and such?
Yes, but Mex is using those gizmo's which are more sensitive and in a different category of "power supply" from Vectors etc, so he needs to do whatever it takes for his gizmos. I think he knows what he is doing :)
I'm the one who did not understand the different situations, and got puzzled by all the special needs being mentioned by those trying to parallel the "PSU" type of gizmo.
