    Jeff here is the stock answer

    the above is 500va but 625Va will give you a bit more upth.

    Thanks Clive, ordered the 25v-25v 625Va... Bigger is always better :)

    yeah, I realised it would be 3 x 4700uF in parallel, thanks again.

    "Selecting Supply Voltage

    The power MOSFETS inside the AM882 can actually operate within +20 ~ +80VDC, including
    power input fluctuation and back EMF voltage generated by motor coils during motor shaft
    deceleration. Higher supply voltage can increase motor torque at higher speeds, thus helpful for
    avoiding losing steps. However, higher voltage may cause bigger motor vibration at lower speed, and
    it may also cause over-voltage protection or even drive damage. Therefore, it is suggested to choose
    only sufficiently high supply voltage for intended applications
    , and it is suggested to use power
    supplies with theoretical output voltage of +20 ~ +72VDC, leaving room for power fluctuation and
    back-EMF."

    from the AM882 manual obviously check your stepper driver specs first.

    Personally I went with 68v on advice from the forums the PSU build was very easy with Clive S help and I spent longer worrying about it than it took to build which was about 2 hours with 1 hour of pottering, smoking cig and drinking tea.

    Good luck with your build ;)

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

    I'm using the same motors, am882 drivers and a 68v psu. Got the motors running at 12500mm/min at first testing.
