I plan on doing some projects with high-torque stepper motors in the future. Due to many annoyances, a 1 ohm 1 amp stepper, for example, may need WAY more than 1V and 1W. From what I have heard, they may require up to 10 TIMES the rated voltage to work. And it would become an even bigger problem if you need to power multiple motors at the same time. So, I need to get a high-power power supply. I am considering going with this one, which could be useful for many future projects, too.

You never know when you may need 100s of watts for something. . However, the power supply only supplies 12V, which is fairly low for many motors and other things. So to get the same current and twice the voltage, you could hypothetically connect them in series. However, there are problems with isolation. Given that it IS grounded, and there is often a connection between earth ground and -, how do I avoid a high-power short? And because they can supply 18 amps, they WILL get destroyed if they are connected improperly. So how would I combine them in series to get 24V? I have heard of people using diodes in between the supplies. Does that work, or should I try something else? And I may even combine 3 in series, if it is not too difficult (MORE POWER!).
P.S. I may even add a high power buck converter with current limiting/cc if connecting them in series works well. Essentially I might make a crude DIY .4/.6 kW bench power supply. If it gets extremely impractical/costly with that much power, I will just go with a less powerful commercially available LBPS.
