Just before I push the button on a transformer could I just have a quick sanity check please?
Here's my thinking:
I have 4 qty 3A max steppers and I've ordered 4 qty 2DM860H drivers. I reckon that it's highly unlikely to have all four motors chugging away pulling 3A each at any given time so I've assumed 10A as the max draw. The drivers will take AC so I won't have voltage drops and capacitance calcs to take into consideration. I am looking at a toroidal transformer with 2x35V AC secondary windings in series ie 70V AC (the drivers are rated up to 80V AC). Therefor 10A * 70V = 700VA (750VA is the closest standard size).
Am I missing anything?
