    Hi, I’m new to working with stepper motors and drivers.

    I have two 24V-0.3A stepper motors and two drivers, but only one 24V-1A AC to DC power converter. Can the drivers be wired in parallel without any issues?

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Should be fine, the continuous average current is lower than the max, and 0.3+0.3 would be 0.6A which is still less than 1.0.
    0.3a steppers? these are very small, what is the use case if you don't mind?
    Cheers
    Gary

    Hi Gary, thanks for the quick reply! The stepper motors are just for some small pumps.
