Subject: Re: [motm] Re: Newbie MOTM power supply question

From: eric f <ach_gott@...>

Would this trio of supplies on eBay do the trick:

How would I calculate the fuse rating?  I'd like to swap out my 800ma power supplies. 
 
thanks,
eric f

I can't see why not. That could power a couple dozen modules. Also,
buying a 950 is a waste of both money and panel space if you already
have a suitable supply, imho. Just make sure its properly fused and
securely mounted.
