server supplies for bench power supply
LaserTazerPhaser:
Do these have some sort of enable pin or requirement for some logic level voltage to enable large output current? https://www.ebay.com/itm/312580310828 they can easily replace costly supplies for same power.
LaserTazerPhaser:
Is it the same procedure for other brands?
oPossum:
Something to be aware of when using server power supplies is that they often require 208/240 volt for full capacity.
That 1200W power supply is 900W when running from 120.
MosherIV:
Many people have suggested using PC type psu as bench psu.
They are wholy unsuitable because they have almost no protection.
In particular, they have NO current limit.
They will just deliver full current !

Check out this site which gives info on getting server supplies to work. Most require some unique jumper configuration.
