Can this be paralleled?
Yes... please see my other thread "paralleling made easy?". There seems to be some disagreement as to how easy it is to parallel these sort of psu's, but I'm rather convinced it's a pretty easy task using units that are basically designed to do so. I think maybe it all comes down to how well the voltage can be regulated; by both the OP and the psu.
It's obviously more costly using higher end psu's, but for us less competent in the ways of soldering in diodes and such, it's a rather simple task of hooking up a few cables and dialing in the voltages. What Mex is embarking on building, for example, is much less expensive, but then so is building your own power supply unit from scratch. If I had those skills, I'd be golden.
One thing I've discovered is amps are costly, and adjustable amps even more so. And higher amps often mean going to a 220v ac unit. The mean well rsp-1500-15 is a welcome exception to this rule.
What I really need is a couple units just like this Turnigy, which are 40 ampers, but I can't find anything reasonably priced.
