Abstract
A method for determining supply requirements for a motor control system includes determining a performance profile for each of a plurality of drive units. A power supply parameter for each drive unit is generated based on the performance profiles. The power supply parameters for the drive units are combined to generate a rating parameter for the motor control system. In some embodiments, instructions for implementing the method may be encoded on a program storage device or programmed into a processing device for execution.
