Laser tube power supply

[Terry Wade]

I have a bad power supply on my 50 watt CO2 laser. I have found a power supply that is rated 60 watts, will that cause any issues if I get the 60 watt power supply? Will the extra 10 watts damage the laser tube?

Thanks

No it only draws what is needed. Is this the HV also, need to check and see what that side is rated at?
