But have you connected all the ports in series yet? :)

.... and when you run out of wall sockets, you start rushing around - where to plug...
And, you run into major troubles that can arise even due to the lack of contact in the grounding pin.

If I connected all mine together in series, including voltage sources, it'd be up around 5kV. Probably not a great idea...

When you consider that anyone can call something like this, no matter how old or whether experienced/inexperienced... :palm:

How many amps?

My single largest working PSU is 1kV 250W, a nicely limited electrophoresis PSU. Unfortunately the output is unacceptably noisy for my purposes, so I must get back to finding a way to reduce that noise.
There are lies, damned lies, statistics - and ADC/DAC specs.

Going on the principle that the lowest current output is the limiting factor, I think 8mA, which is the maximum output of my LKB 2197 at 2.5kV, iirc (I don't use it very often).
