Can I connect more than one motor to the output of an VersiDrive i?

Yes, with the following rules:

  • For VersiDrive i P2, the AC drive must be operated in V/F Mode only.
  • Each motor should be protected by an individual thermal overload.
  • The total cable length limit for the VersiDrive i shown in the relevant User Guide should not be exceeded.
  • An Output filter os recommended in all cases, and allows the maximum permissable motor cable length to be extended by 50%
  • The VersiDrive i should be selected based on the total motor current required, by adding together the rated current of all the connected motors, and selecting an VersiDrive i with sufficient rated output current capacity.
  • The motors must be permanently connected to the drive, and cannot be individually started or stopped whilst the VersiDrive i is enabled.
