Someone here should take some time and visit some EE forums where PhD EE discuss this problem and arrive at a conclusion that with some power supplies it can lead to disaster. A 22 dollar power supply is not a Lamda with it's inherent current and feedback protection attributes. I have no idea if a Megawatt design can be paralleled without isolation, but I am not dealing with it or any other PS. Just the 22 dollar unit.
FWIW, when first turning on the Mega Watt, after hooking up to battery first, then starting and warming up the generator, then turning it on, it will draw 40 amps on the amp meter, on a 70% soc T-1275. The amp rate falls off/decays at about an amp a second, until it gets to around the 27 amp mark, or 90% of the 30 amp capability.
At no point in time does the Mega Watt make funny sounds, humming sounds, vibrating sounds or any other unusual sounds during this process. Take it for what it is worth, I am not an EE, just sharing what my observations are, I don't know what to look for or sniff for before the blue electric melt down cloud goes poof before my eyes and nose. YMMV... my experience with the unit, in my particular circumstances, so far, has been flawless.
