I was trying to connect two power supplies together so that I could have a positive and a negative voltage. I mis wired and now one of the power supplies went out and doesn't turn on anymore. What are some possible problems? I'm guessing that it's just a fuse that went out.
I'm guessing that it's just a fuse In the time it takes to type that, you could check the fuses! It's either a fuse or some internal component is dead, like a transistor. .
Fuses generally protect against fire rather than damage. So even if you replace the blown fuse, the power supply may still be broken.
How did you connect it? If you want to get a positive/negative supply you should connect it like this: PS1power supply 1 PS2power supply 2 PSTtotal power supply PS1 + PST + PS1 - connected to PS2 + PST GND PS2 - PST -
What does connecting two together have to do with positive/negative voltage?
What did you do? Did you tie the negative of PS 1 to the positive of PS2 and the positve of PS1 to the negative of PS2? If so you probably have done internal damage to one of the power supplies. Hopefully you can get a schematic and fix it. Unfortunately fuses don't always protect the device they are used with.
