I want to power 10 thermoelectric heat pumps at once from wall power. (120VAC 60Hz). Ripple is somewhat important for these, but precise voltage and current regulation is not. Each heat pump draws 17A at full power, plus I need some extra current for fans, pumps, etc.. The heat pumps need about 17V at full power. So I need an AC to DC power supply which takes 120VAC 60Hz and outputs 17V at up to 200A. Could someone point me in the right direction here? It needs to cost less than $200. Ripple hurts these heat pumps but if its very slow I dont think it will matter, even if its a couple volts. Current can vary up to say an amp.
