RE: Power supply transformer setup questions...

Not that I doubt you, but can you explain why then it is suggested that I
use 2/3rd of the sum of the motor amperages then?

The setup will be using 3 G201 drives, connected to three motors.
One 3A/3V motor, and two 3.5A/4.2V motors.

I would have thought that a 6.7Amp rated transformer is required.

If you are using bipolar CHOPPER drives, such as the Gecko G201 or G 210,
this transformer, alone, should do! So long as you have the correct
filter-caps,
and use full-wave bridge rectification.
