I've got a design under way that will have a 40hp motor and a 5hp motor on drives. The motors are mutually exclusive, they don't run at the same time, but both drives are powered up at zero speed at the same time, and the swich between stopping one drive and starting the other is just milliseconds. I'm thinking of putting both drives under one line reacotor (sized for the 40HP drive) and I can't forsee any problems... but I've never done that before and thought I'd ask the board about any bear traps to watch out for?
