Their names usually note the maximum current draw. Their RS-20M is a 20 amp supply and the RS-35M is a 35 amp supply. I'd be willing to bet an RS-12S has a max draw of 12 amps.
The 3 amp fuse is on the input, 3 amps @ 120 volts. |

Below the 3A fuse it says 115 VAC 60 hertz 300 watts 13.8 VDC I wish they would have labeled the peak and continuous amps on the back of the unit. |

RS-12S has an output rating of 9 amps continuous and 12 amps surge. Should run a 7 amp load easily.

Thanks, also back in the day when the power supplies had screw terminal posts I would just wrap the positive and negative negative leads around the screw terminals.
This Astron has screw on terminals with a hole in the middle. Do you think sticking the positive and negative leads into the hole would be as secure as just doing it the old-fashion way which is wrapping it around the post terminal? |

The hole works much better than a wrap, that's why it's there.
Better still is to properly terminate your wires with an appropriately sized ring terminal. |
