Hi guys,

I have just put together 2 x HC24-2.4A-ag Sl power linear supply + one condor 48v 0.5A supply to +24 -24 +48v for a little console I am restoring. Outputs of each individual psu is floating so I put them like it should.
The only problem is that my complete psu works and gives the expected voltages with no load, when I plug the load -24V rail seems to be very low current (I can see the Led very dimmed -fullbright when not loaded)
I did one mistake however, when I fired it up under load the first time I forgot to connect the sense +/- to their respective outputs pins and read somewhere on the net that doing like that can damage the thing.
When I put my lab psu instead of the built psu everything is ok, it suck +/- 1.3A on each 24v rail, so, obviously the SL Power blocks are not under sized.
I don't need to sense the load realy because I have onboard regulation on each of my channelstrips which requires +/-22dc unregulated (+/-18V and 15v on board regulation).


Anybody ever experience such a problem ?

Thanks
