| − | Estimating the need of power supply wattage for motor drive can be a complex task | + | Estimating the need of power supply wattage for motor drive can be a complex task. The needed power depends on the actual mechanical load and use of motor. The power demand is proportional to the product of motor speed and torque. The following table summarizes the relation between speed and torque vs power. |

In overall, PSU should be sized so that it does not overload or overheat during any condition in machine use. Since servo systems typically have greatly varying load, to find minimum sufficient PSU size might require measurements from the actual machine. To esimate minimum sufficient PSU size, measure RMS power consumption of the system during at least 10 second period of heavy use. | In overall, PSU should be sized so that it does not overload or overheat during any condition in machine use.

| − | If measurements can't be done, then maximum RMS power load can be estimated roughly by summing rated power values of motors in the system. However, in typical machines the average power consumption is significantly less than summed motor power. | + | If measurements can't be done, then maximum RMS power load can be estimated roughly by summing rated power values of motors in the system.

{{tip|People tend generally to overestimate the power need. In most cases, required power supply wattage is significantly less than the combined power ratings of the motors in the system. This is the case if all motors are not running at their maximum speed and torque at the same moment.}} | {{tip|People tend generally to overestimate the power need.
