#119722 - Two against one
Responding to: ???'s previous message
A single 20A supply will be cheaper than two 10A supplies if you include the cost of wiring looms. As Eric said, some supplies are designed to be shared, but most are not.

The most common rationale for sharing supplies is for redundancy. If three 10A supplies are wired in parallel, if any supply fails then the remaining two can still supply the full 20A. The failed supply can be replaced without turning the system off. This is called an "N+1 hot-swappable" arrangement. The extra components needed to ensure fair load sharing will make these supplies more expensive than normal supplies.
