Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Power supply for Servos - Energy dump and such

118 volts and 30 amp failure. 88 volts and 15 amps should be fine. Hope so :-)

If you can read between the lines, Gecko's servo drivers are 100
volt, 10 amp units with a 70 de-rating for cuttent and a 20% derating
for voltage.

As Mariss has documented over and over, they do not come apart at
less. once you move above the 7amps, 80 volts you start exchanging
speed and power for unit life. I think at 118 volts you get
bragging rights of the most power for the better part of a minute.

But, if you read the recent post about servo's and how to size them
using power for the machine, Mariss points out that most of us run
much more voltage than we either need or use and wind up with hot
motors for no logical reason.

If you really need to get that power, considder bigger motors.
