Issue:
Is it possible to use one contactor to run multiple motors?
Product Line:
Contactors and Starters
Environment:
Products sold and used in the United States
Cause:
Using one contactor for multiple motors
Resolution:
Yes, provide separate overloads for each motor and size the contactor according to total Hp and FLA of all the motors added together.
PLEASE NOTE: This is allowed by the NEC only under specific circumstances. Also, we will not provide equipment with multiple overloads due to UL listing requirements.
