    Hello everyone, so me and my friend are making chain driven motion sim, and we wanted to add heave axis, we calculated everything and found suitable motor, its 36V 1000W motor, for power supply we will connect 3 12V 40A power suplies in parallel to get 36V (we will over volt motor to 39 V to get more power), We need some kind of crontroller that can handle such high power (40A, 1.5kW ), can anyone suggest cheap option ?

    It is called and must be connected in series, not parrallel, if goal the higher voltage. ) In parallel U'll stay with 12volts, but higher amps.
