Connection of the motors for group drives or multi-motor drives

For group or multi-motor drives, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends looping the motor cables through the motor terminal box (DAISY CHAIN installation).

Observe the following information:

  • Connect the motor phases of the individual motors in parallel.
  • Connect the connection cores of the individual brake coils in parallel.
  • Connect the temperature sensors in series.

Make sure that you do not exceed the permitted total length of all motor cables connected to the inverter (sum of all individual cables).

The following figure shows the basic connection of the motors for group and multi-motor drives:
