S-360-36 switching power supply rated at 36 V, 10 A and 360 W, with a ventilated metal enclosure and active cooling. It is intended for motors, CNC machines, automation and electronic projects that use a correctly sized 36 V DC rail.
It is also particularly useful as an auxiliary motor supply for a 3D printer. For example, it can power TMC2240 drivers through the MOTOR_POWER input of a BIGTREETECH Octopus Pro while the board and 24 V components retain their appropriate supply. This application must follow the conditions below because 36 V is also the TMC2240's maximum operating voltage.

Sizing the load
The stated 10 A and 360 W are nominal maximum ratings. Add the demand of every 36 V component that may operate simultaneously and account for acceleration, peaks, temperature, cooling and wiring voltage drop.
A conservative target for sustained load is approximately 80% of the stated capacity: around 8 A or 288 W. This is a project-design margin, not a revised nominal rating or a guarantee for every installation.
- Electrical power: P = V x I.
- Approximate current at 36 V: I = P / 36.
- If demand is close to 10 A, increase the available margin or split loads with appropriate protection.
- A driver's configured phase current must not be added as if it were a constant DC input current.
Terminals and distribution
The supply uses a terminal block for mains input and DC output. Always follow the markings on the supplied unit:
| Marking | Usual function |
|---|---|
| L | AC line input |
| N | AC neutral input |
| Earth symbol | Protective earth and enclosure bonding |
| -V | 36 V output negative |
| +V | 36 V output positive |
| V ADJ | Fine adjustment; do not alter without measuring the output simultaneously with a multimeter |
Repeated +V terminals and repeated -V terminals belong to the same output and are not independent channels. Distribute and protect each branch according to its load, and never infer a connection solely from screw position.
Using it with TMC2240 and BIGTREETECH Octopus Pro
The BIGTREETECH TMC2240 driver has an official motor-supply operating range of 4.5 to 36 V DC. This supply can therefore be used with these drivers, but 36 V is the top of their operating range and must be treated accordingly.
The BIGTREETECH Octopus Pro H723 allows every driver socket to select either the main supply or the independent MOTOR_POWER rail. For this application:
- Keep the controller's main supply and all 24 V components on their compatible power supply.
- Connect 36 V only to the MOTOR_POWER input.
- With all power disconnected, set each TMC2240 socket jumper to use MOTOR_POWER.
- Before inserting or powering the drivers, measure voltage and polarity at the supply and on the rail reaching the sockets.
- Configure motor current and cooling for the actual system; a higher voltage does not authorise a higher phase current.
The voltage capability of the board's MOTOR_POWER input does not override the limit of the installed driver. Do not connect this 36 V rail to the controller's main input, heaters, heated bed, fans, sensors, Raspberry Pi or other accessories designed for 5, 12 or 24 V.
Safe installation
- Check the input marking and set the selector to the correct position for a 220-240 V mains supply before connection.
- Install the supply inside an enclosure or compartment that prevents contact with mains voltage without blocking its fan or ventilation slots.
- Connect line to L, neutral to N and protective earth to the marked terminal; bond the metal enclosure to protective earth.
- Use a suitable fuse, switch, strain relief, terminal cover and physical separation between AC and DC wiring.
- Size cables and terminals for actual current, length, temperature and voltage drop; protect individual branches where appropriate.
- Use a multimeter to verify voltage, polarity and terminal tightness before connecting electronics.
- Do not confuse -V with protective earth and do not open the supply: its capacitors may retain energy after disconnection.
A mains input can use the IEC C14 inlet with switch and fuse holder and the Schuko to IEC C13 cable, provided the assembly and fuse are correctly rated. For high-current DC branches, we stock red 12 AWG flexible silicone cable and black 12 AWG flexible silicone cable; the final conductor size must be validated for each installation.
This is for you if
- Your load operates at 36 V DC and its total demand remains within the calculated margin.
- You want to create a TMC2240 MOTOR_POWER rail on an Octopus Pro and can verify jumpers, voltage and transients.
- You need a fan-cooled supply for motors, CNC, automation or a correctly designed electronic project.
- You can provide an enclosed, earthed, protected and adequately cooled installation.
This is not for you if
- You intend to power a 12 or 24 V controller, heaters, fans or accessories directly.
- You need to use TMC2240 drivers without checking or leaving any margin below their 36 V limit.
- You require a sealed, fanless or laboratory supply, or a battery charger.
- You do not have the knowledge or qualified assistance required for mains-voltage work.
EQUIPMENT START UP:
- Check that the mains voltage matches the input selected for the source (110/220v)
- Connect the power supply to the mains to check the output voltage (12/24v)
- The output voltage is adjustable, if it differs from the one you want for your application you can turn the regulator, preferably with the equipment off. Never use a metal screwdriver with the equipment on to make this adjustment.
- (Depending on the model) This power supply has a regulated fan, it will turn when it has load, check periodically and in the first use that the fan is activated correctly.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS COMPACT POWER SUPPLY:
- Dimension the installation correctly, with an appropriate safety factor.
- Never block or hinder the fan's air output.
- Before connecting the equipment to the power supply, check that the available mains voltage corresponds to the voltage value of the equipment.
- Connect the mains cable of the equipment to a grounded power outlet.
- Do not place the equipment on wet or damp surfaces.
- Do not expose the equipment to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
- Do not expose the equipment to moisture.
- Do not exceed the maximum input voltage allowed.
- Comply with the warning and information labels on the equipment.
- Wear dry clothes and rubber shoes to ensure insulation.
- Do not insert metal objects into the equipment through the ventilation slots.
- Do not place containers full of liquids on the equipment (danger of short circuit in case of shock).
- Do not use the equipment near strong magnetic fields (motors, transformers, etc.).
- Do not expose the equipment to strong shocks or vibrations.
- Allow the unit to stabilize at room temperature before taking measurements (important for accurate measurement).
- Do not modify the equipment in any way.
- The equipment must be opened for service or repair by qualified personnel. It is recommended that repair work be carried out in the presence of a second person trained to perform first aid if necessary.
- Keep the power source away from children.
- Before cleaning the box, pull out the plug from the socket. Clean only with mild household cleaner. Make sure that no water gets inside the equipment to avoid possible short circuits and damage to the equipment.
