4. Again assume each channel of our power supply can provide 30 V and we want to run a
60 V hair dryer motor. So, we again put the two channels in series for double the voltage.
But, if you try this with a non-isolated supply, bad things will happen. Don't do that. The
following depicts a circuit where internally the supplies have a common ground (i.e., they
are not isolated).
