Hi everyone
So i'm in the final phase of my DIY cnc conception, and i have some questions about the power supply wattage.
For the moment, the electronics consits of :
3 nema 23 2.8A (2 for the Y axis, 1 for the X)
(the long ones, like : https://www.poscope.com/wp-content/u.../02/nema23.jpg )
1 nema 23 (Z axis)
(the short one, like : https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....CL._SX425_.jpg )
The motors controllers are :
- two 2M242 (X and Z)
- two M542 (Y)
My question concern the power supply, i have a "SP 360W" , rated 36V/10A

Im asking myself if that would be enough to power all the things above because the motors are rated 2.8A each, so 11.2A for the total, that would theoretically exceed the power supply wattage, on paper, but are the motor really draining 2.8A ? or is that more like a max value ?
Would you advise me to buy a second 36/10A supply to be sure ?
Thx a lot !
