[ARC5] High current 28VDC power supply?

[Christopher Bowne]

Output voltage a little on the low side.  Probably won’t hack the inrush current of the PE-73.  Probably would work okay if you float a pair of series up 12V vehicle starting batteries or deep cycle marine batteries across the output of the switcher.  PE-73 inrush current might transiently trip on startup, will need to be reset.  Biggest concern would be RFI from the switcher, most are very dirty.
