PSU question

[repilce]

I"m no electricity EXpert.. but i do know a little..

I'm plan on powering a 226W pelt rated for 25A @ 15.1 V I know running a 12V will cut it down a little, but i know that no reagular PSU could probably handel this.. I was wondering if running the 12V lines from to in series would bat this problem. now just for all you electricty Experts out there who might see this i'm talking like:

PSU1 --------------------12v+----- Go to peilter
----------------------------12v(-)----
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))connect two lines above and below this one.
PSU2 ---------------------12v+-----
-----------------------------12v(-)--- Go to Peilter

One NON-expert would think this would work just like any DC battery and give you More Current Available.. but i'm not sure how this would work on the PSU's end because of how they are setup.. ?? any experts feel free to chime in now.

If you were to run the PSUs in series you would get 24v. Running them in parallel (12v lines tied together and ground lines tied together) would provide 12v but at the sum of the PSU's amperage ratings. This is a bit dodgy with Switching PSUs as they might destroy each other through one feeding the other current.

I'm speaking of using ATX psu's like that. Are they switching?

Yep
