You don't drive stepper motors with dc, so they don't draw 1.7A/Phase (its another miss leading stepper motor number for worsts case condition, ie DC)

I cant recall the maths of it, but what I can say is that a standard ramps all 5 steppers and the hot end are on a circuit with a 5 amps fuse.

The hot end is typically 2.5-3 amps

So steppers are not exceeding 2-2.5 amps.
