  Within TRIUMFs electron LINAC, two TESLA type cavities are operated with a single klystron in CW mode. Vector sum control is applied for field stabilization and the resonance frequencies are individually tuned with a proportional feedback controller. First operational experiences showed that amplitude oscillations can start in both cavities, while the vector sum is perfectly stable. These instabilities occur at high operating fields and are driven by Lorentz force changes. This paper presents a simulation study of multiple cavities in vector sum operation with respect to Lorentz force oscillations. It will be shown that all cavities in operation have to be damped to guarantee system stability.
