But I searched thru all 680 of the power supplies they sell, looking for a suitable supply to run it with, and came up empty. So it looks like the PSU to run it will need to come from some place else, or a DIY project, and my junk box isn't that well equipt.

It could just about > suit your application, Gene. Yes I agree. But a 48-60 volt, 25+ amp supply for it does not appear to be available in their 150,000 products. That would appear to need its own 230 supply line breaker if it could be found. > They do talk about bigger heatsinks for more grunt, but then water > cooling of the coil would be needed too, I guess.
