An electrical submersible well pump assembly has first and second permanent magnet motors. The first motor drive shaft is connected to a coupling that has internal splines for receiving an externally splined end of the second motor drive shaft. Alignment devices rotationally align magnetic poles of the first drive shaft with the magnetic poles of the second drive shaft prior to securing the housings of the first and second motors together. The alignment devices may be a coupling irregularity in the internal splines that is at a controlled orientation relative to the magnetic poles of the first shaft and a shaft irregularity in the external splines that prevents the second drive shaft from fully engaging the coupling unless the shaft irregularity is in a specified rotational position relative to the coupling irregularity.

An electric drive hydraulic fracturing pump system includes one or more electric motors, with each electric motor electrically coupled to a dedicated dual inverter to control operation of the motor. A plurality of electric motors may be coupled to each end of a pump crankshaft and configured to provide rotational power to the power end of a hydraulic fracturing pump through a planetary gearset coupled to each end of the crankshaft. A hydraulic cooling circuit having a first and second cooling systems may be used to regulate the temperature of the electric motors and dual inverters.
