I have been known to be wrong, but I would have to say a form no!. The reasonoing is they are big at warning you that no voltages should be applied to the output terminals, and failure to heed that warning, can cause bad things. I would think that running two in parallel, will do the same bad things. it would be impossible to be sure the two outputs are exactly the same. if they are not exactly the same, one will be putting power in the output terminals of the other.Anyone know if VFD's can be piggy backed to to double the output? I just put a bid in on two 10hp units. Thanks, Mike
They could also possibly be out of phase from each other.it would be impossible to be sure the two outputs are exactly the same. if they are not exactly the same, one will be putting power in the output terminals of the other.
I guess it might help to know what your needs are. If you are intending on powering a multi motor machine, its best to have one VFD per motor. I've been told conflicting info, and ways taht I could power the fractional HP coolant pump motors on my mill, and drill press, with the same VFD as one of the motors, but plan on just getting them each their own VFD eventually.Anyone know if VFD's can be piggy backed to to double the output?
