That's what I used - a 3kW one from Screwfix Direct - it was about £68 from memory.
It officially isn't rated for 100% use, but I ran it for about 3 hours and it didn't get hot at all (37 deg.)
In fact, it says that you should run it for only 5 minutes every 20 minutes.
ETA: It runs all 3 of my motors (although now I've got a 4th to go in, I'll see how much hotter it gets).
