DC stepper drivers in an AC system

[Clive S]

Hi Clive yes that was the power supply i had in mind . so it doesnt matter that all the other contol gear is AC no? I never even realised there was such a thing as AC stepper drives or an ac bob!

I realise it sounbds a bit crazy as of course a dc psu is powered by ac. but since everything is stright up AC I thought i would check with folk who know about these things.

These will work off AC https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2DM860H-2...MAAOSwb85alhS1

Thanks that looks great but I was hoping to get something sorted in the next couple of days.

I just hooked up an EM 503 to the X using another psu i have spare, just to prove concept as it were.
Fuck me its a diffent machine!
Only did one axis. They are drivers I'm intending to use on the Novamill upgrade. I had to tune down a bit but shocked at the difference.

The 806's will be brilliant i think, im almost tempted to put 3 ph hybrids on but i think thats for another day. i'll see how well this goes first for the money its looking like a very good upgrade.
