    Motor to motor load test with VFD

    Yes, That is definitely that part I was missing. From what I was told from others, that wasn't possible. Ok, well that definitely makes more sense. I guess I don't get HOW that's possible...but maybe that's another discussion.

    Motor to motor load test with VFD

    I'm trying to understand something that I'm being asked to help supply motors for. The customer wants two 600HP motors. One motor to run off their VFD and the other motor to run off the incoming 3 phase power. That part doesn't really seem to be an issue. They also want to regen the power...
