    Gecko 320 power supply

    I have two 24 volt transformers and my servo's are 36v motors. Would I be better off putting them in series and filtering them. Which would put be in the 50volt range or just use one transformer. This is a small mill 24"x40" table.
    Thanks Ed

    run them in parallel. thats what i did. you end up with more voltage when they are paired up and a filter capacitor is used.

    Yep, As above. Running two 24v transformers in parallel will double your current capability. 24v AC once rectified and smoothed by a capacitor will raise your 24v to 33.6v or thereabouts, an ideal result for your motors.
