Can I use a 80W power supply for a 60W tube?

Post by seeigecannon »

A while ago I bought this power supply: http://www.lightobject.com/40W60W-PWM-C ... V-P72.aspx
It just blew. Can I buy this power supply and have it work? http://www.lightobject.com/80W100W-PWM- ... -P682.aspx

I am using a voltage divider to control the PWM signal going into the PSU so I am able to dial the PSU max output to exactly where it needs to be. I would like to use the bigger PSU because if it is de-rated then it should be able to last much longer. Thanks.

If you regulate the voltage the max the 60W PSU would supply that would work.
