    Wiring from AC to Power Supplies Series or Parallel

    I have a 3 Axis system setup and got a separate power supply 48V 8.3A for each axis. What would be the proper way to connect them from the AC inlet, in Series or Parallel?

    Using terminal blocks 3 into 1 are your best choice, there are many different types of terminal blocks, that you can do this with, here is one that I use

    The AC input to the power supplies would be in parallel.
