    I want to use a pc power supply to power my diesel heater which will use up to 10 to 15 amps to power the glow-plug . My power supply 12volt says it will put out up to 30 amps? So i just connect all the yellow wires to get that ip to 30 amp potential?

    I want to make this power supply mainly for 12volt supply but you mentioned the resistor on the 12 volt line. How do I know if my power supply needs it? I’m not sure if mine is “old” or “new” as you put it.

    Could I build an External 800W AC-DC Power Brick from an ATX/SFX PSU following these steps? The project I have ongoing will be using a HDPLEX 800W DC-PSU to power a SFF AIO computer and it will need external AC Adapter(s). I was thinking I might get two Dell 330W Laptop Adapters but an ATX 800W converted to something like this might be much better.

    Hi, i placed my load resistor at 12 Volt line. Characteristics, Load resistor: 15W 22Ω (i couldnt find at 10W), line: 12Volt, min: 0.3A, max: 18A. My load gets really hot, maybe is the normal hot i do not know, is it ok addind that resistor with that characteristics or should i add some an extra Silicone Ceramic Resistor? I attached the load at chassis adding thermal paste in order to make some heat get absorbed, is that ok?

    Mini Winter Solar Tip;; You can gradually turn down a Beuler and all other hungry electricity consumers with the "5000W dimmer". Ebay €7. I run 5 dimmers in parallel on an 850W inverter. Kettle 2.2KW at 150W runs 12 hours a day, so the water is always hot. The room is also nicely heated. 2.5KW washing machine runs in parallel with dimmed to 200...400W. Iron, dishwasher, oven, electric heater, coffee machine, all internal heating are throttled with me. Videos about it on my channel ruclips.net/video/eC2olbCBhh0/видео.html The inverter stays cool, quiet and the MOSFETs remain intact because extreme current peaks no longer arrive at the inverter. Now every Mini PV Inverter is enough to sell large devices. So, with the dimmer, all internal heaters/devices can be converted into base load devices that stay almost permanently ON, drawing very little current directly from the PV. You can measure this with a wattmeter / energy cost meter.

    I know this is an older video, but on the Green wire. I’m needing to build 2 power supplies 12v dc only. I’ve seen videos that say to connect the Green to Gray. However I’ve seen more that say Green to any Black wire. Is this just a preference, or should it be one or the other for specific reasons?

    I have a DC pump that I use for pumping oil. do you think I could use a computer power supply to run it? I figured since it hooks up to my 12v battery that it might work with the 12v power supply. it uses 13.5 amp. I have an old AT power supply that I want to try. it has an external on/off switch with a white, blue, brown and of course black for ground. wire harness has Black (ground), Yellow (12V), Red (5V), Orange (Power Good), Blue (-12V) and White (-5V) I believe. does this sound correct? do I need to put in resistors for an AT power supply? ty for your assistance. 🙂

    I have an older ATX with 14 amps on the 3.3V line, 30amps on the 5V line and only 10 amps on the 12 V line I used a 8ohm/50W resistor on the 5V line and when I connected a small cooling fan 12V/950milliamps the voltage drops to 11.05 volts why is this happening when the 12 volt line should handle upto 10 amps and stay stable Please help me and reply Thanks Dan
