two motors driving 1conveyor but drawing different currents
two motors driving 1conveyor but drawing different currents
(OP)
i have two 250kw motors driving 1conveyor bt installed on different pulleys. One is drawing 200amps and the other around 90amps. Full load current is 325amps for both motors. I am concerned that only one is working and might end up failing prematurely. Is it normal or should be rectified

Alternatively, two identical motors on the same conveyor but in different locations could, in my opinion, take a different share of the load depending on placement. The one at the beginning of the conveyor, next to the rollover pulley, would take take the majority of the load while the one located at the middle or end of the conveyor would see a lighter load. The difference is because the conveyor belt is elastic.
