Topic: Bench powersupply question
I bought a Pyramid PS-36KX that can output 35 amps from 12~15V. Can it actually do that? I opened the case and all the wires are 12 gauge except the pos. wire, which is 18(or 16) gauge. Can 18 gauge carry 35 amps for about 5~6 inches without getting all hot? I'm thinking about replacing it anyway.[ 02-22-2006, 08:29 AM: Message edited by: Bassphobia ] Past Setup
