→
When connecting multiple motors in parallel to the output of a
variable frequency drive, the motor currents are
added
geometrically
– separated by effective and idle current
components.
Accordingly, when selecting a variable frequency drive, make
sure to size it in such a way that it will be able to supply the total
resulting current. It may be necessary to install motor chokes or
sine filters between the variable frequency drive and the motor
in order to dampen and compensate for deviating current
values.
