Hi Richard,
Not the way we are used to connecting loads to power sources indeed.
I don't like the fact that your DC power supply and your strobe box are
now mutually dependent.
Mind that the optional switch drawn has to carry 15 A average and 100 A
peak (<1 ms).
But it will probably work well enough.
A power supply is generally used as a voltage source. The load takes
some current away that does not affect the voltage (ideally).
In this case usage is reversed. The load takes some voltage away that
does not affect the current (too much, we hope).
The strobe input may be an up transformer with a few fat primary
windings and many thin secondary windings.
It probably takes away a certain percentage of the AC voltage available.
You will need somewhat more RPM than before for DC to reach normal
performance.
That should be all, actually.
Regards,
Jan de Jong
