CHOOSING A POWER SUPPLY 

There are two important parameters to consider when choosing a power supply in your 
application, voltage and current. 

Motor Power Supply 

 

Voltage Input Range:  12 to 36 Vdc 

Refer to your motor label for rated voltage.  The integrated motor control is intended to be 
operated from a low voltage DC power supply rated between 

12 to 36 Vdc

.  The maximum voltage 

of the GreenDrive

TM

 is 42 Vdc, therefore do not exceed this voltage.  The maximum continuous 

operating current handled by the GreenDrive

TM

 is 10 amps.  Where the maximum motor current 

is less than 10A, the power supply rating should be based on the rated motor current as shown 
on the nameplate.  Filter capacitors are supplied internal to the GreenDrive

TM

 control for 

increased reliability under typical power conditions.  It is recommended that the power supply 
meet the latest editions of UL60950 and CSA 60950 specifications.  
 
 
 

 

Current Input Range:  3x Rated Motor Current (Typical) 

The maximum or rated power supply current needed should typically be at least three times the 
rated motor current to ensure adequate current headroom for intermittent motor overloading.
