Hello to the community.
Just looking for some, what might be simple information.
I have an 18 Amp 12 Volt smps, I'm not 100% certain, but have an idea of what's going on.
On adding load (halogen lamps) the psu can handle a single 50 watt 12 Volt lamp. But if i add a second 50 watt lamp in parallel it shuts the supply down.
I was thinking its seeing the combined load as a short circuit, by the cold resistance of the lamps. I'm not completely sure that's the problem, but suspect it might be. I was wandering if it would behave the same with an inductive load. Any help appreciated.
