QUESTIONS re: MEGA-WATT 33-AMP POWER SUPPLY
This critter can be found on eBay. It is a switching type power supply. Supposed to have an ultimate amperage potential of 33, voltage adjustment of 10, to 15, and work fine as a long term battery ...

From Mean Well's website for one of their supplies:
I guess it depends on how they handle overcurrent conditions.
You'll have to give it a try to see if the current limit works by rolling back the voltage, or latching off until the load is disconnected or the power supply power cycled.
I don't see how it would burn out unless the power supply was a '4 quadrant supply' (doesn't just source but can also sink power) which they usually are not.
B3. If we need a 600W output, can we use two units of S-320 connected in parallel?
Ans:
No, you can not do this connection because S-320 is not equipped with the parallel function. When two power supplies are connected in parallel, the one with higher output voltage will share more loading and deliver more (even "all") power to the load and cause these two power supplies to be unbalanced. We suggest using PSP-300 or PSP-500 because it is equipped with the current sharing function.
