I pulled a Thermaltake TR2-430W PSU out of a computer headed to e-cycling with a plan to use it for power an electrolysis tank. The model number is XP550NP. I am having a problem keeping it running for more tan 20 or so seconds. What I ahve done so far:
1. Cut off all the connectors and bundled like colors
2. connected the green power on wire to a black ground
3. connected the brown sense wire to an orange 3.3V wire
4. using 12 volt bulbs I put a load on each primary rail - 1 amp on the 3.3V rail, 3 amps on the 5V rail and 2 amps on the 12V rail.
With this set up the PSU runs and all bulbs light for about 25 seconds then it shuts down. Looking for any and all ideas to get this running correctly.
Thanks
Rick
