The easiest factor in choosing a power supply is its current rating. The current rating of the supply
is based on your motor choice. The drive will always draw less than 2/3 of the motor’s rated
current when it is parallel (or half-winding) connected and 1/3 of the motor’s rated current when it
is series (or full-winding) connected. That is to say, a 6 Amp / phase motor will require a 4 Amp
rated supply when parallel connected and a 2 Amp rated supply when series connected. If
multiple motors and drives are used, add the current requirements of each to arrive at the total
power supply current rating.
