ed.poore Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hi, might seem an odd use but I've actually bought an HX1000W as a power supply for testing some hardware. The hardware in question requires 2 350W rails. Basically: is it possible to draw these currents from a single connector on the required rail or to draw (e.g. the full 500W) from each rail will the outputs have to be joined together? Hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthohol Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The conversion of Amps to Watts is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1 amp * 110 volts = 110 watts HX1000 specs....................................................... AC INPUT 100-240V, Current: 13A, Frequency: 50-60Hz DC OUTPUT +12V1 +5V +12V2 +3.3V -12V +5Vsb MAX LOAD 40A 30A 40A 30A 0.8A 3.5A 12v1 and 12v2 both output 400 watts. appears it will meet your specs. good luck with your project.

ed.poore Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi, Sorry for the slow response, was expecting an email to pop through with the replies... I knew everything that had been said in the replies. The rail diagram doesn't really help that much since it doesn't specify whether you can pull all 400W through one connector. Doesn't matter that much since I'll be cutting the cables and joining them up now, spread the load out across the cables a bit. Thanks anyway Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 24, 2009 40a on both 12 rails, 40a X 12v = 480w max ; so it does meet your requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
