Wire Sizes
Geo Drive electronics create a DC bus by rectifying the incoming AC electricity. The current flow into
the drive is not sinusoidal but rather a series of narrow, high-peak pulses. Keep the incoming impedance
small to not hinder these current pulses. Conductor size, transformer size, and fuse size recommendations
may seem larger than expected normally. All ground conductors should be 8AWG minimum using wires
constructed of many strands of small gauge wire. This provides the lowest impedance to high-frequency
noises.

Geo package types provide various power levels (Low/Medium/High) and up to eight axes configurations
mainly with three different package types.
