Hello,I am (still) building a power supply for a plastic bender. I managed to buy an old HP6433BC Lab PS that will do the job, but I would also like to put together a smaller and much lighter PS for the device alone. I've assembled all the components to deliver 24DC volts at Max 14.6 A through a 9-60volt adjustable regulator Max 20 A, OR a 7-80 VDC regulator Max 30 A. My question is: does the 20-30 Amp final DC output mean I will need a heavy duty power cord for the enclosed switching AC-DC PS that connects to the 120AC mains? 12 ga.? 14 ga.? 16 ga.?
Plus, if anyone sees any major safety problems with the series of components I'm using, please give a shout.
