Question 12v Eps Power supply ?

Slowly getting a corsa power column fitted and now got to the stage of powering it up.
Looking to use a handy power feed n found these units under the dash.



Know nowt about them apart from the 1st one comes from the battery then branches out to the radio n amp ec?
So will it be ok if I break into one of those + feeds and run the main + eps feed to power the steering motor?
Can't see much else usable under the dash that looks man enough cable wise, or is it better to run a dedicated live?

I would go for a seperate live feed myself, with fuse near battery, do you know what power consumption of motor is.

Cheers
tbh I guess a seperate feed is the safest bet after all
As for the motor I couldn't say but these pics might give an idea of motor size?
