Q: Can One Inverter Drive Multiple Motors?
A:
Yes, it is possible!
To ensure proper operation, select an inverter with a rated current that is greater than or equal to the total rated current of all connected motors, multiplied by a safety factor of x 1.1 (for continuous operation).
Additionally, verify that the maximum load remains within the inverter's overload capacity. Since built-in thermal protection cannot be used in this setup, it is essential to install a thermal relay for motor protection on each individual motor.
