Controlling a big stepper motor

zeus2kx:
I thought motor required 3A/phase. Where did you see 2.2A?

This is what I saw

Current / Phase: 2.2A

but I did not scrutinize every line of the web page.

My guess (and it is no more than that) is that the piece you quoted is intended to say "don't set the driver current higher than the motor current"
