Can multiple motors be connected to one solid state soft starter?
Yes.
Size the soft starter for the total full load amps of all motors to be connected.
Provide separate overload protection for each motor.
Motor connections to the soft starter output should not be made or broken while the soft starter is running. The resulting sudden change in current will cause problems and possible damage to the soft starter or other equipment.
