Yes. Possibly, depending on the voltage.

Older strobes could possibly fry your camera depending on the voltage of the strobe. Anything used remotely via a radio trigger will not.

If the flash is high enough voltage to fry your camera, they you don't want it physically connected to the camera unless you have something between the flash and the camera that will lower the voltage to a safe amount.

900W?

I posted voltage, not wattage. That's two different things.
