Multi-motor Applications

The SMC-Flex controller will operate with more than one motor
connected to it. To size the controller, add the total nameplate
amperes of all of the connected loads. The stall and jam features
should be turned off. Separate overloads are still required to meet the
National Electric Code (NEC) requirements.

Note: The SMC-Flex controller’s built-in overload protection

cannot be used in multi-motor applications.
