Hi guys,
I was hoping someone could give me some help with a wiring/grounding question.
First of all, I am a newbie so please bear with me. I am wiring up a control box for my first CNC router. I've got a 70 vdc - 20 amp power supply from Keling Tech ( #7220), a Campbell B.O.B. and three 203 Geckos along with the various other components i.e. fuses, relays, fan, etc. I plan on running some 497 in. oz. steppers with this set-up.
On the secondary of the PS, there are two sides ( two pairs of capacitors ). There are three terminals on each side, both with labels of "+", "-" and "C". My question is this: The "+" side should go to the input to the Geckos but what about the other two? Is the center "C" connection (I'm assuming meaning "common") a ground and should that be connected to the chassis ground? What about the "-" side? I always thought that negative was the "ground" side. One last question: In order to get the full 70 volts@20 amp capacity, do I need to wire both sides of the secondary in series/parallel or can I just run off of one side? Thanks for your help.
