People say that one power supply will supply 20 amps, another 22, etc. In
my opinion, it doesn't matter. Amateur service is almost always very
intermittent so overheating is not a problem. The components of all the
supplies discussed are fully capable of supplying 22 amps (or 24 amps). The
only change that would need to be made is in the overcurrent trip point.
Look at it this way: if a supply is rated at 20 amps, then no doubt the
rating is actually 20 amps PLUS OR MINUS something. Plus or minus 10% gives
you 22 amps. This stuff just isn't that critical.

Hi,
I'm wondering what the differences are between the 260 & the 961. The
most I found out was there were two color variations on the 260 to
match the Corsair I & II. I heard there is a greater current carrying
ability on the 961 but on this web page it shows both at 20 amps:
