    Hi everyone,

    The build is progressing slowly, mainly just waiting for parcels to arrive, i now have the extrusion and all of the bolts / fixings. I am struggling to figure out what my PSU requirements are, i was wondering if someone might be able to offer some advice?

    I am using 4nm Nema 23's, and using Leadshine AM882 drivers from China.

    This is the datasheet for the Motors i have:

    PDF

    Link for the stepper drivers:

    AM882

    Am i right in thinking that to get the most from the motors and drivers that i am going to need a 68 - 80v PSU? What amperage rating will it need to be? 20A+?


    Again any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Alex

    68V with a 650 Va transformer. See Joe's excellent vid.

    Hi Clive,

    Many Thanks, just to clarify - that would be 68v & 650Watts? I am really not comfortable building my own PSU, and i cannot seem to find that spec one, so probably i will get two 500Watt PSU's at least then i know neither one will be high loaded, and the ones i am looking at nearly half in price if you buy more than one:


    Power Supply


    What do you think?

    Thanks

    Alex

    Have a look at the vid. They are easy to build and only require a transformer, rectifier, and 3 Caps. If you are going with a switch mode power supply you will need one a lot bigger to handle the back EMF.

    I'm going to build one on advice of Clive S (Also Chaz pointed out do it right!) but if I was to buy one I'd buy these

    https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/po...-s-350-60.html

    UK shipping as well get one per motor.

    If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)

    And I think you would be disappointed in the result and it will cost you double by the time you add duty etc.

    No duty on that one Clive as long as you select UK shipping ($3 more) but you're probably right about the disappointed lol.

    I found most the stepperonline stuff is available for either Germany or UK shipping so no import tax and quick shipping but unfortunately not the AM882's :(

    I found them through CNCzone where they've been getting rave reviews from some of the purchasers.

    In what way does the performance differ?? I was planning to use one 500Watt PSU per 2 Stepper Drivers?

    If not could anyone link me to where I could get the parts to build one??

    Cheers
