Sofcow, I would say that it would. If your power supply is fused, there is always one way to find out. If it blows the fuse or trips the breaker, you can always run the amp on med or low. But like I said, the palomar probably only draws about 10 - 15 amps at most. If you search the web, you will probably find specs on the amp that tells exactly how mwny amps it draws...Eddie

It will work but you may not get all out of amp, a 40 amp power supply would work the best. You may be pushing it with only 25 amps!

Its safe to say that 10 amps per 100 watts it a ball park figue
