I don't ever connect two wall connected power supplies, because depending on thier ground states it's possible to send 120VAC   through  the ground wires. ie if one psu uses line ground and  if the power company reverses wiring such as can happen when a crew is doing road work. you can have a 120V from line ground to earth ground. its very rare but I've lost enough equipment to keep me from doing it again.

Not all supplies can be connected in series, and most cannot be connected in parallel.

If you combine the output of two 12V 12.5A PSUs, do you get 12V but twice the A now, or 24V and twice the A?
