[Boatanchors] Parallel Astrons supplies.

[Rolynn PRECHTL K7DFW]

> I don't recommending trying to operate them in parallel.  The output
voltage is going to be slightly different from each supply. If you do use
them, then you will definitely need to put high current diodes in series
with each of them.  This will result in approximately a 0.7 volt drop in
voltage due to the characteristics of silicon diodes.
===================================


Please, let's not reinvent the wheel.

It's covered in the Astron manual and perfectly acceptable.

No diodes are necessary or used.

Make sure both supplies have the same Vo (set them to the same voltage).

Connect in parallel using 10ga wire.

Attach Pos cable to one supply and the Neg cable to the other. This allows
sharing and tracking.
