That if I run it at 12 to 24vdc, the current requirements are going to come down to more like 1 - 1.5 A / ph right ? Then I'd be able to use a wide range of stepper drivers out there. Any preffered units that do all three axis's off one board ? *snip* |
As balsaman said the current capability of the motors will still need to be 4.7 A. However, the average current drawn from you power supply will be reduced, as you say.
(A chopper drive works something like a "DC transformer": power in = power out + losses. So higher voltage in means less current needed at that voltage.)
