Hello BBI FANS AND FRIENDS: MR. Luke this is the second time I've seen this video now on my big screen TV. This to me is nothing but pure artwork. The way you have applied your genius to modify each module is outstanding. WAY TO GO BBI & HAPPY EASTER TO ALL !!!!! TMP, UNIT 22 FROM N.J.
I'm really enjoying these videos while also following along in my own way. I have found enough power cables around the house to chop up. I don't have a need now but I love the idea of just having a massive power supply that I will never stress about. Overbuild underrun.
BBI, you see the magnetic force between the conductors. The higher the current the more it moves away from thr other conductor. This is the same effect when current flow through a conductor from a lightning strike. Very cool project. Thank you.
Referencing your white wire: Server PSU's and the server PSU backplane have options to run supplies in redundancy mode or ballanced mode. When the server admin selects redundancy mode, only PSU is triggered on while other sits powered but no output (green light). When ballanced mode selected, all supplies triggered and self regulate. Your "Master" supply is slighty higher voltage and as the others are slightly lowere and have no output, sleep time.
This was a great video to watch if only I knew what my future holds after being burned on the property I bought here. Because if I say muck it and go off the grid I'll have no idea for such a great power supply. But if things work out the right way a 300 to 500 Watt supply I would pay the price for. These supplies are great and I thank you for showing all of the potential and benefits of using these.
Looks like my tools. Xuron cutters, Klein screwdrivers, Fluke meters, Panavise vise. I used buss bars out of a breaker box for the breakout connections.
Okay let me get this said right off the bat ..I'm not a builder I'm just a guy that's messes around at home really mic wiring gives me trouble..but thank you for sharing your knowledge and a good deal on some supplies I just wanted one but a ebay mess up I ended up with 2 I'm okay with thank bit for 40nucks i will have a nice switcher to run a small amplifier that I want to try to put together for HF with all the filtering I need and also a 11metter box . Thank you sir ..
I owned a Ranger RCI 6300F Turbo around 20 years ago. I was told it was built by someone in Florida, and it was heavily modified. Would dead key on High 750 watts and swing over 2 thousand watts. The receiver and modulation were all re-done. I used it as a base radio in Iowa. I didn't have the courage to look inside the radio, but it was a beautiful sounding radio. It later got stolen by a local where I live, damn do I miss it and talking on the radio. Any ideas who in Florida could have built such a radio? 73s to you and yours, and have a great Easter weekend .. KGE7432 S.W.I.A
Is the vacume base on your vice working out well? I am trying to decide between the weighted vs. the vacume base for my Panavice... Thanks again for taking the time to create your content... 73
I like your work one question if you hook up a antenna to it can you hear it cut on and off make sure there ain't no noise coming through the power source that's one of the things I would worry about
Hi, after watching the fix pallet video, BBI mentioned a positive note to D & R built pallets. I haven't been able to locate those. Any links to those D & R pallets? Thanks BBI for pointing out the utterly horrific splatter by the other pallet builder across a very wide spectrum.
Wonderful, I love your build! 👏👏👏 How well is the load sharing holding up with heavy loads at prolonged usage? The most I have done is a 36V, 65A, series design - using the HP 750W supplies. Again, wonderful work. Thanks for making the video! 👍😎 - The Innovati0n Lab.
I almost wished you had used a solid 3/4" square copper bars for buss termination on top of switchers with wire gauge appropriate holes drilled ,wire inserted then filled with solder.Concerned about amperage through wires laid on top soldered and any possible voltage drop from this method and heat buildup.
I built a 24v supply using the little 460w hp supplies last year. Runs my isdt chargers like a champ and way higher quality than the mystery meat Chinese-ium LED switchers. A bit more work, but worth it.
I've got 2 of these modded running 14.4v and in parallel and I'm observing the following with and without the load sharing wire hooked up: When I power up both units the green indicator lights both come on and then one unit's light goes off after a few seconds. It does seem like both are running and sharing the load because I'm getting a lot more out of my amp vs running a single PSU. They are also both getting warm under load. Is this normal? Also, as a test, I unplugged the lit unit to see if the other's light would come on. No light came on on the second, voltage remained, and the unplugged unit's fan went to full speed. It appears that the supply in this video has all of it's lights on all the time but it's hard to tell. Any info would be much appreciated.
@BoxBuilderIdaho how do you power these on 220/240V? 100A at 240V says 6.6A so 2 of them at 100A 13.2A? No? In UK we are 240V 13A max, i see from your video you have them all attached to one ac line, more than 1 of these would be too much for uk plug sockets or am i missing something Thanks
Great work! Did you go with the 12k & 39k for the PSU mod in the end or what was the sweet spot you tuned? Did you use 18k instead and did you mention that 1/4w is sufficient?
Just a question but can u cut the clips off and Hydraulically crimp and solder terminals on the wires on your amp test center and it would be a better electrical test and a real world test bc that's how most people are going to connect there amp or radio to the supply
When you get it figured out, I'd love to see a polished up design where the modules can be inserted like the original servers used them. Where the end user can swap them out by hand without tools! (Granted we have to trust them not to be idiots and isolate teach module so we can rig them up in series. perhaps a float tester is in order for that task)
I think it would have been more impressive if it was done with an amplifier drawing the amps from the supply hit it with something that's going to take a 800 or 900 amps on a key up to see if it is going to Crowbar.
Ok question for ya. I have an old backup power supply. Are you saying I can use this to power a 70 watt radio? If so do I have to do anything to it so I can do this? Thanks brother
So if these are 100A MAX, Would treat them for a soild 80A with cooling (pressureized incloser) , Courious on the RFI. Haven't had much luck with switchers and RFI issues, we got BIG ears over here...
I also aquired one of those Iron Core Transformers mentoned, from the Backup system. I knew it was worth something, not smart enough to build the rest.
Well as far as the RFI interference I think in the second video I literally took my Icom 7300 and took the center pin of the coax connector and shorted it to the case. And there was no noise. They're FCC certified Cee certified UL under listed so I don't know. Other than I put them into use over here on many different things and I haven't noticed any noise but that does not necessarily preclude the problem
@@BoxBuilderIdaho copy that, Being HP gear, and what thier intend use is for, I'm sure they covered most of the bases of that. Haven't seen the sec vid yet , so didn't know. I'm sure someone might have A issues here and there, but most likely be a different issue all together, and blame the switchers... "At your own risk" comes to mind. May have to dig into this a bit more. I just walked by 4) larger Server cases that would make a great "floor" sitting power supply with Fan already installed, or easy upgrade. Push button on/off switch, maybe a volt meter for looks ;-)
It's actually spelled out in four other videos very clearly it's even in the description in the video itself which by the way I pointed out in the video itself this one here
Ouch I'd be getting myself a single-phase 220 Buck converter if I was you. Otherwise the Transformer that takes 3-phase and converted over to 220 volts your other options to find three phase power supplies which in my opinion would be probably the most efficient and cost-effective thing to do
you were missing one meter in your wide shot.... The utility meter on your house! lol!

BBI, you see the magnetic force between the conductors. The higher the current the more it moves away from thr other conductor. This is the same effect when current flow through a conductor from a lightning strike. Very cool project. Thank you.
was a bit of a trip when the load knob rolled back by itself,,, really cool video thanks man

Hey BBI love you man. Been using these for years. Thanks for f#cking the market up.

Couldn't these stack in a tall computer chassis?
You got me thinkin!
Thanks so much and Big Kudos to you for being such a innovator!!! got my 1200 sb's orderd. Don't think I'll need 1/4 as many as you have there lol!!!
Subscribed! My new favorite thing to watch!
I got an old Cummins engine and the battery cables on it will jump like that. Very nice
Dood that's petty freakin amazing... great video
No better feeling when you build something and it works better than you calculated!😊😊
Ó melhor dê todos os tempos parabéns BBi felicidades sempre bazuka Foz do Iguaçu PR Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷

I used buss bars out of a breaker box for the breakout connections.
Bad ass... Mr BBI' for the win!
Love this video but would really like to see how you modify these modules to output 14 volts
This is awesome thank you BBI
BBi this is sick stack idea 💡 Nice Build !
This is just an absolute game changer!!
When I saw that cable jump like that, the only word that came to mind was WICKED. That sir is one WICKED WICKED supply!
In a few years the current state of the art server PS-u will become available on the second hand market. Half the size, same W.

I'm sorry I'm not trying to criticize I'm just curious
This power supply is an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER!! I need a price!
Man this like when the lto battery came into play ...game changing
you didn't weigh the completed power supply for comparison to the alternative amperage power supplies.
I'd like to have seen the individual supply's LEDs turn on as the amp load was added....will they turn on in sequence or randomly? Lol
44:41 time mark
thank you for sharing your knowledge sir!
Also bbi if you can test this on a pill box that would be a great video
Hi Luke, did you check for rf interference with your 7300 or Stryker? Would be interested to know the S Meter reading with 1000A draw..
I was thinking the same thing last night put 4 of em in a 4 or 6 transistor box.

How many volts of mains input were these experiments made with?
Was it made with 240v?
Hey Master Luke, What is the P/N for these Curling Breaker's you use and where do ya get them. Thank's 2WR/NB267 Colorado.
Is the white balance wire connected to the terminal adjacent to the red wire on the supplies?
What do I need to modify inside to chain them together
And what do I need to minimize ripples to output?
I have a server supply that I pulled out but can’t figure out how to get it to work out of the unit or what to jump out to make it output DC.
I've got 2 of these modded running 14.4v and in parallel and I'm observing the following with and without the load sharing wire hooked up: When I power up both units the green indicator lights both come on and then one unit's light goes off after a few seconds.

Do have a schematic of the build. I have 4 750w and 4 450 psu's.
Now you can arc weld and operate a ham radio at the same time
That's a reasonable price considering the builder and it capabilities
VERY NICE 👌
ID LOVE TO HAVE ONE BUILT IN THE 300AMP RANGE .
out of all the things you do the peel on the carbon pile probably made the most people tingle in their giblets.
Excelente
JUST INSANE !!!
Nerermind, maybe I should stay around 400 amp supply?
heh I'd love to see you convert that amp meter to LOG SCALE! 0 to 10,000 AMPS!
Is the load sharing on pin 3? I must have missed that part?
Where do I get these efficient power supplies 😊
I was thinking you would to that. I remember the 300 amp one with 10 SMPS china inside with contactor. think maybe run a 48 pill ? 73's
well built
@BoxBuilderIdaho how do you power these on 220/240V? 100A at 240V says 6.6A so 2 of them at 100A 13.2A? No? In UK we are 240V 13A max, i see from your video you have them all attached to one ac line, more than 1 of these would be too much for uk plug sockets or am i missing something

Also what is the difference between the 1200sb and the 1200fb?
Was it made with 240v?
How many volts of mains input were these experiments made with?
Great work! Did you go with the 12k & 39k for the PSU mod in the end or what was the sweet spot you tuned? Did you use 18k instead and did you mention that 1/4w is sufficient?
What if i have 1000 computer power cords and just cut the male end off and wire to the breaker?
100% good to go
We call that a roman candle, they are cool! Well, cool in your house, it would look like shit in mine, but it would be cool in your house.
Awesome
Great video could not have come at a better time. I need a 30amp 50v power supply for my 23cm amp. what was the make of your ps?
I use HP ESP120's for my LDMOS builds. 57 amps at 51 volts, each.
Just curious if I could pull the 48 volt module from my server n use these in it it houlds4 modules. N it has a controller.
I will pass on the Astron and get a power supply made with HPs. The testing and build do it for me.
Just a question but can u cut the clips off and Hydraulically crimp and solder terminals on the wires on your amp test center and it would be a better electrical test and a real world test bc that's how most people are going to connect there amp or radio to the supply
In the future
Love it!
How much for 400amp supply?Would that be 120 volt?

@@robertanderson5631 I'm sure that will come later, as BBI said this is just the beginning.
MR.BBI I have a Cobra 25 with a 250 watt booster . ? do I need to set the SWR with the radio flat footed or with the booster on ? thank you sir.
Do you sell any amps? I'd be very interested in a 250a set if amps.
Hi . What do you use 1000 amps of current for ?
What would you need that much power for ?
And how long will it last ?
You are running off batteries and they will destroy them drawing that much power
Welding.... no joke we build amplifiers that use that much DC current though..
Ok question for ya. I have an old backup power supply. Are you saying I can use this to power a 70 watt radio? If so do I have to do anything to it so I can do this? Thanks brother
Can you put a link up for that oversized 2x4 case ?
BBI can you make that 4 bank of power supply’s run off a dedicated 30 Amp A/C Breaker, understanding it would not be a true 400 amp?
I don’t necessarily mean can YOU so much as can it be done.
So if these are 100A MAX, Would treat them for a soild 80A with cooling (pressureized incloser) , Courious on the RFI. Haven't had much luck with switchers and RFI issues, we got BIG ears over here...

Damm your brave lol
What do you plan to run with these 12v 1000 amp adapters?
64 pill
Does the low profile fan pull enough air
Sweet
What in the world is the price on that??
Whats the power plug connector that you are using
Are these 100 amp each at 14 vdc?
Rhetorical question, how much?
So freaking cool! Is that fan suck or blow Luke...LOL?
What mods did you do to the PS when you took them apart?
There's three other videos. All the mods are thoroughly covered in those videos
I was wondering what watt your big solder iron is.
It's an easier question for me to ask you a question what do you consider big cuz I have everything from a 5-watt to 950 w
How much does it cost to get one sir
where did you obtain these switchers from and how much do they cost? are they available??
Source is spelled out in a previous video.
It's actually spelled out in four other videos very clearly it's even in the description in the video itself which by the way I pointed out in the video itself this one here

How the heck do you power these supply's?
In the netherlands on 1 phase 16A
And max 25A
Then on 3 phase here 3 x 25A
