If you connect 2 motors in series in "tandem operation", install an insulated coupling between
the motors.
Insulated tachometer fitting

Bearing currents can flow if the coupling between the motors of the tandem drive is not
insulated. This can damage the DE bearings of both motors.
Use an insulated coupling to couple the motors.
4.14.5 Tandem operation
If you connect two motors in series in "tandem operation", locate a coupling between the
motors; this coupling should satisfy the Directive 2014/34/EU or the regulations that apply in
the country where the equipment is installed.
