Re: making a bench top PSU with a old school PSU

You also may want to consider that some supplies will not turn on without a minimum load. As stated above, these supplies do not play well with motors as loads. It is not so much the inductance as the stall current. A motor that is not moving is stalled and as such the current demand for many motors exceeds 30 amps when starting. Kit motors like the Chalupas and FP motors exceed 90 amps.
