Issue:
Wants to run multiple motors with one Altivar AC Drive.
Product Line:
Altivar drives
Environment:
All
Cause:
Customer needs to control multiple motors with one drive
Resolution:
Yes, any of the Altivar Process Drives can run multiple motors as long as the following criteria are met:
1. The drive's horsepower rating has to match or exceed the combined horsepower ratings of the connected motors
2. The total combined current draw of the motors cannot exceed the rated current output of the drive
3. There must be individual external overload protection on each motor (no exception). The internal protection for motor overload can only monitor the total current, not the current to each motor.
