Multiple Motor Operation with Adjustable Frequency Drives Application Guide

This document outlines the requirements and considerations for operating multiple motors from a single adjustable frequency drive, emphasizing proper sizing based on total FLA or horsepower. It highlights key constraints such as fixed relative motor speeds, the need for separate thermal protection per motor, and the impact of sequential motor starting on drive sizing, including the use of locked rotor amps (LRA) for motors started after others are running.
