@Bowden_P. About 6 years ago, I connected two oldish HP 12V, 60A SMPS units together hoping to get 24V (Obviously). Unfortunately, they didn't last. Stopped working. The outputs were isolated.
I suspect that they probably each needed their own residual load, maybe an amp or two and I should have made sure that the load was switched on after both units had been powered up & settled down.
BTW, I went out into my shed to look for them to see what they were (I don't tend to chuck things out) & in the process found some large 12V C/O contactors I'd been wondering where they had been safely put. So thanks for the question.
