:: Parallel Motors
When parallel motors are connected to a drive the extra capacitance of the parallel motors compared to a single motor of the same combined power can cause problems. Allow 10 - 15% extra for drive sizing. In addition, the capacitance effect can be reduced if the motor cabling is "daisy chained" (i.e., connected from the drive to motor 1, then motor 1 to motor 2, etc.) rather than each motor being connected directly to the drive output. In extreme cases, the use of output filters is advisable.
