Sorry this isn't a direct intervention in the current discussion, but what I experienced multiple times in configurations with two motors on one drive and with a thermal overload relais at the output of the drive (one for each motor) that always one motor drew a lot more current then the other, although the motors were connected by a shaft. The motors were identical. What I don't know if the motor cables have the same length for both motors. Could this be a reason? And do you use special thermal overload relais if they are place at the output of a VFD (PWM-signal)?
Thanks.
