Gidday Everyone,
Just in the process or ordering some stepper motor and drives for my RF-45 mill conversion ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3281...c00tiKeoj&mp=1 ) and i noticed the drives take 18-60 VAC.
I asked if they would supply a power supply the recommend to power the drives. They recommend using a 800w toroidal transformer instead of a DC power supply (They will be supplying them to me). Seems wild something so small can do the job. So my questions are.... Please note i am very new to electronics.
1. Do i need anything else to power my stepper drives? Or do i just connect my mains 230/240 VAC to the transformer and then to my drives with the secondary.
2. Is it better to have one small 50v 200w toroidal transformer per drive. (This uses more of my control cabinet space )
Cheers,
Rohan
