Looking for Tubular motor isolators

I am after 240v Tubular motor Isolators or drivers.
As you can not connect 2 motors in parallel .
If anyone know any good suppliers could you email me at [email protected]
Thanks in advance Jako

 

could you just use two pairs of relays. Only the active is switched, so instead of switching the motor, switch two relays (for two motors) and switch another two for the other direction.

No idea if this is safe or not

Motors can not be wired in parallel from the same supply
Due to the inbuilt capacitor parallel connection of motors is not safe for the motors.Feedback from the capacitors will destroy the motors, if not immediately, then over time.

Thanks Jako

 

Mick is not suggesting that you connect 2 motors in parallel. What he is suggesting is that you use 2 independent pairs of relays and then assign them both the same group address. Because the relays have the same group address they will switch at the same time.

Just wire each motor via a contactor and overload unit with each contactor coil controlled from C Bus or whatever you need. There is no good reason why you cannot have 2 single phase motors fed from the same supply as long as you have a contactor for control and an overload unit per motor.
