Reply To: Multiple machines from one inverter

Shielded cable(s) Robin you should be ok.

EMC or EMI Electro Magnetic Interference.

To reiterate, if I programme in a 3 second soft start on my 'Plug and Play' inverters you hear the numerous contactors constantly tripping in and out until approx. 360V serves no purpose the startup is hard as in instant with a spindle start machine.

Clutch driven machines the motors permanently running until switched off or reversing direction after powering down = pain. Last machine used to take up to 20 secs to power down to standstill before you could power up in opposite direction, if not would carry on rotating in same direction regardless of intended direction.
