Figure 2-5 shows a multiple regen drive system with multiple motoring drives. For this configuration the regen drives are sized to the total power
requirement of all motoring drives.
NOTE
For the multiple regen and multiple motoring drives arrangement there are two possible options for the required start-up circuit. This can either consist
of a Unidrive SPMC rectifier module (for example an SPMC 1402 is capable of charging a maximum DC Bus capacitance of 66mF) or an external
charging resistor as detailed in Chapter 4 System design on page 30.
Special care should be taken when designing a multiple regen and multiple motoring drive system ensuring that all the required fusing is in place on
both the common DC Bus connections and the AC supply to all regen drives.

All drives paralleled must be of the same frame size, and a derating also
applies as specified in Chapter 3 Product Information on page 12
