Fan Speed Control with Multiple Motors
The P266 Series Single-Phase Condenser Fan Speed
Control can be used to modulate multiple identical
motors in an application. Care must be taken to ensure
that the combined motor amperage draw of the multiple
motors being modulated does not exceed the rating of
the P266 Series Control. Be aware that as the
individual motor speed is reduced, the amperage draw
of each motor can increase above the listed amperage
rating of the motor.
Consider the following when wiring multiple motors in
parallel:
• If a 12 ampere model of P266 Series Control is
used with multiple external rotor motors, it is
recommended that the total rated amperes (based
on the motor nameplates) not exceed 9.5 amperes.
• When using three triac 8 ampere models but
connecting only a single triac, it is recommended
that the total rated amperes (based on the motor
nameplates) not exceed 6.5 amperes.
Note: If the sum of the motor nameplate current
ratings exceeds 80% of the rating of the P266 Series
Control, there may be performance issues at system
startup. The cause of these issues would not strictly be
the current draw, but also the low inductance of the
multiple motors. To ensure proper operation at system
startup, always test the application prior to installation.
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when this equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference
at his/her own expense.
This Class (A) digital apparatus meets all the
requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la Classe (A) respecte
toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel
brouilleur du Canada.
