    Hello !

    I'm thinking about changing my dual server PSU wired in serial to get 24V by a "native" 24V PSU. We can find many on the web at faire price, but geared at LED strips. Do you know if they can handle the required load for wipers DC motors ? Any experience with them ?


    Thanks.

    What they are geared for should not matter, just their specs.

    I use server PSUs in my sim for space reasons but also have 12V LED PSUs I originally tested and they are perhaps less finicky. I don't expect 24V would be any different.
