I have a 48v, 12.5a dc supply powering a stepper motor driver. The hardware manual for the stepper driver says to add a capacitor between the power supply and stepper driver to protect against back EMF. I have heard of people blowing out their stepper motor drivers when engaging an emergency stop switch while their motors are running so I figured it would be good to follow the instructions.
Technical support from the manufacturer said to use a 63v, 2200uF capacitor.
Will this do the trick?
Would it make more sense to use some sort of diode circuit?
Thanks!
