    I am considering a 6dof with 6 x 1kw motors

    240v ring main should supply approx 3.5 kva

    So in theory if all motors were to draw 1 kw there would not be enough electricity

    Would batterys allow the system to draw more current momentarily ?

    Do i have to look at a larger capacity supply directly to the fuse board ie 60 amps ?

    Is 3 phase the answer and run 2 motors per phase ?

    Has anyone monitored thier current draw ?
