Re: Correct or Max voltage for Bridgeport Nema 42? + mo...

Hi,
I'm currently running mine at 75vdc with Geckos 210's and it seems
to be fine. I figure from tables I've seen the voltage spec on the
coils is between about 2.5-3v if series connected (full coil) so I'm
pushing the 20x over voltage limit. The current limiting is the key
to keeping the coils healthy. The Geckos reach a trip current
threshold then the current is switched off. Until the next cycle.

Not at all!
