Making a nearly 2kW power supply

[gotgixers]

yea, I'm building a 2800w 12-14.4vdc power supply right now from a IBM Blade Center power supply unit. You can get them off of the 'bay for around 50-100 bux.
these will push amps over 2000 watts rms with only a .005 volt drop on the supply side voltage.
You can series them for 24,36,48vdc @ 236 amps . Or strap them like I am doing to get up to 12,000 watts rms (1000amps)testing capabilities @ 12-14.4vdc ....

And they run on 220vac, so you can get 12-14.4vdc and 236 -250+amps to drive a amplifier with a 16-20 amp 220vac input circuit ...

here are the units I am using. I am getting mine from a different seller, but this was just an easy link to grab....

OOPS, just noticed, this is a necro-thread, sorry mods .....

There is nothing wrong with that, when you are expanding on the existing topic.

Your proposal seems to have nothing in common with the previous posts.
It deserves a different Thread.

yea, I noticed that too. I saw 2k power supply and jumped in feet first. My mistake ....
As mine is being built as a test bench supply, I guess it needs to be it's own thread...
