Also using a PP-1104, affectionately known a "Ampszilla", to spin a DY-17 dynamotor for an ART-13. I originally ran it on a dedicated 30 amp 120 volt circuit and then restrapped for a 15 amp 240 circuit, it ran much better.

28v@ 50A or 12 v @ 100. I believe the supply was originally intended to be used for charging fork lift batteries.
It is a great suppy and had never bogged down...except once 30 yrs ago when I was going to  turn on a T-195 xmtr I'd just  got.
I turned on the xmtr ..and immediately a big groan came the power supply..the lights in the garage dimmed..and the 40 amp fuse on the Xmtr blew.
The xmtr was stored somewhere damp with the air flow cover open and I guess the moisture formed a film on the comutators that formed a short. Got them cleaned up ..no damage and the T_195 was fully operational and on the air.
Use the supply on ART 13s, BC 375s, BC 191s as well others..

That's why it's on a floor mover from Harbor Freight!     Easy to roll.

That's what I do for my SCR-274N setup.    A pair of tractor batteries in series across the 28V PS Output,   I don't have any problems.

I think most folks just run a pair of car batteries in series for those big loads with a charger in place to keep things up to snuff, but with the price of batteries today, a big enough switcher supply is more affordable.  A 24 volt supply is usually cheaper than a 28, sometimes by a lot, and you can adjust them up to about 26.5, no real reason to run 28 as there was only 28 when the aircraft engines were running, 24 when not.  Meanwell supply's are very radio quiet.
