Can We Connect the 12V and 5V Outputs From ATX PSU In Series To Give 17V-18V?
The PCBWay 0-30V 0-10A Bench Power Supply project that I built requires two input voltage supplies, one around 17V and the other 34V. I tried using two ATX PSU in series in the previous video, giving 12V and 24V ,and tried to modify the circuit to work but the voltage was not high enough for the circuit to operate correctly. In the comments that followed a subscriber said I should connect the 5V and 12V on each ATX power supply in series, giving 17V from each PSU. Is this even possible? Well I don't know but it sounds interesting so let's see if we can do it
