Power Supply Help

[Apocalypse]

Hello all,

I have DT-30 galvos and I've seen threads about driving the galvos with 2 24V power supplies if they are ground isolated. The galvos need -24V, 0V, 24V to function so by connecting the + of one power supply to the - of the other power supply it should work. How do I tell if the power supplies are ground isolated? Specifically this one http://www.trcelectronics.com/Meanwell/nfm-20-24.shtml. Would this one work?

Thanks!

It should work. I used these for another application recently http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a...-SUPPLY/1.html

As you mentioned in your post just tie the + from one power supply and the - from another. Those will act as your common ground. Hit me up if you have any other questions. Take a look at my diagram I made it using a 12V supply but the same principal applies for the 24V supply I have listed.

Thanks Ivan, I just wanted to make sure before I make the order. :P As for the connectors to it, do you know where I can buy the connector heads?

Not familiar with the DT connectors but i reckon they should be common. Where are you located?

they're just simple wire lugs.

I'm in Vancouver, Canada. I'll update that on my profile :P. And the plugs I mean the plugs on the psu.
