Tandem operation
If you connect two motors in series in "tandem operation", install an insulated
coupling between the motors.
Insulated tachometer fitting
Figure 4-2 Schematic representation of a tandem drive
If the coupling between the motors of the tandem drive is not insulated, bearing
currents can cause damage to the drive-end bearings of both motors.
Use an insulated coupling to link the motors.
4.7.4 Operation with insulated coupling (EX)
If you connect two motors in series in "tandem operation", fit a coupling between the
motors; this coupling should satisfy the ATEX Directive or the regulations that apply
in the country where the equipment is installed.
