    Not safe.

    The line capacitors in the PSU can hold their charge for days. 99.999% of the time, a jolt from that won't kill you, but you don't want to be that 0.001%

    cutting the wires from the outside ensures absolute safety.

    Anybody that needs to ask how to mod a PSU doesn't have enough experience to do it from the inside safely.

    Go from the outside. absolutely safe.

    yeah it doesn't matter what they have on one end so long as the other is routed directly back into the PSU.

    Pelts in general

    Are you still planning on using only one Pelt? I spent many months experimenting with Pelts, finally got a Prometia (still sits in office, now retired and collecting dust).....

    If you expect to get good results with only 1 high powered 200 watt Pelt, be prepared to wear ear plugs, the volume of air needed to dissapate the heat is tremendous......the exhausted heat will quickly warm up a cold room in the dead of winter....

    Back when I was 'combining' PS's (pretty simple to do) and using one for the Pelt, I had PS failure sooner or later on the one powering the pelt, best to get a Meanwell as mentioned......even after getting a reliable PS, I fought with heat and noise constantly......

    Several pelts with a combined 200w total running at lower volts is the answer, much easier to get rid of the heat, much, much easier....Pelts kinda have a point of diminishing returns, trust me when I say they work a lot more efficiently at lower V's......

    Give it a whirl, the only way to verify what I said is to run with the one Pelt and report back....

    Good Luck....

    Laterzzzzz...............
