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 I understand Salvo's recent posts, deliberately engineering in some extra voltage drop would be very helpful.
From my original post in this thread:
"The idea is to parallel them by first connecting the + and - leads from both psu's together, to a single + and - lead, which is, in turn, connected to the load/batts. The belief is the voltage drop over the leads will compensate for any minor fluctuations in voltage output of the two psu's. This will, allegedly eliminate the need for a more sophisticated arrangement, including diodes and such."
Note, this may only apply to units with adjustable cv and cc settings.
