Dave:
Sorry I insist.
I can't find a capacitor that big here in Monterrey, Mexico.
I'm running another machine with 3 4amp motors, with a 36 volts 10
amp Microkinetics Power Supply which has a 50 volts 6800 uF
capacitor, and it's running for more than a year very smooth, with no
problem.
I can't use this power supply to run 4 4amp motors so I have to make
my own Power supply.
I found a 63 volts 10,000amp capacitor and I don't know if can do the
job as well as the microkinetics Power Supply.

Raul Lara
