Paul:

There are "Tandem" or "Half-size" breakers available which allow one to put two circuits into one space. They also come in 2-pole style for 220 volt circuits. Contact a QUALIFIED electrician ( NOT your neighbor's brother-in-law who works maintenance ) for more info and installation.

I left the electrical trade 8 years ago. I was senior service tech for 31 years.

Some time back there were some posts on using 2 power supplies in parallel
to run a Herc II amp.Were those RS70 power supplies?

Did/do you run them off of 220V?

I originally ran mine off of 2 batteries in parallel and a small charger
turned on when in use.

Since I have no spare circuit breaker spots in the box, I may not be able to
do the 2 power supplies in parallel on 220V.

I have one RS70M and it will run it to 250-300W at about 60 amps.

Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks 73
