Laptop power packs typically put out 16-18 VDC at a few amps. Is there any obvious problem with using several and putting the outputs in series to get higher voltages ? Is there adequate isolation between the 110 VAC input and the output ? Problems with regulation ? Has anybody done this ? Of course, depending on the specific power packs and the desired output, there might be a need to insert a series resistor or something else to reduce the voltage. Thanks in advance for your reply, insight, and suggestions. |
