Did some searching and didn't come up with much.
Basically I've got a project that I need a bi-polar supply for but it draws a decent amount of power. I've looked at old console power supplies on ebay, but they can be pretty expensive to ship.
Is it a bad idea to take 4-5 single amp supplies and combine the outputs?
And would it make more sense to get a single big transformer to power the whole thing, or does that not really make a difference?
I would also guess that diodes would be a good idea in combining rails to avoid back flow.
Anyhow, good idea or bad?
Any other suggestions?
