Replace PSU

I have added a PSU to my Velleman K8200, making the heated bed run on a 24V PSU.
But I was wondering if it was ok to use a single PSU, with a little better specs.
I found a 15V 24A 360W PSU, would that work on the Velleman K8200?

It will work, but you won’t have better hearting, cause the Voltage stays at 15V.

Hi
I replaced the original 15v supply with a 24v.
Everything is running on the 24v supply.

So you power the whole controller board from 24V?
Watch closely for Overheating Voltage regulators then!
The 15v Velleman uses are already out of spec…
