AI Thread Summary
Operating six 48VDC power supplies from a single 120VAC source is feasible, but it depends on the current ratings of the 120V sockets and the fuse. The total current draw of the power supplies must not exceed the capacity of the circuit to avoid fire hazards. It's crucial to ensure that the combined load is within safe limits. Users should verify the specifications of their electrical system before proceeding. Proper safety measures are essential when dealing with high voltage and current.

I am looking to install 6 48VDC power supplies and I am curious as to whether or not I can operate all 6 power supplies off the same 120VAC source. I am not sure if 120VAC means that I can only operate a max of 120VDC.

It depends on the current rating of your 120V sockets as well as the fuse. If your 6 48VDC power supplies draws current anywhere near to these ratings, then you are going to have fire safety issues.
 
Alright, thanks.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
