  • Page 26: Dol Pumps

    In this method, DOL pumps are not started and stopped smoothly with the corresponding increase in energy consumption and mechanical wear (startup current). Also note that DOL pumps are not protected by DrivE-Tech. A second method of sharing water demand (named COMBO mode) consists of using additional pumps in parallel (up to 8), with each one driven by a DrivE-Tech.

    P1+P2 P1@f min Q=0 If two pumps are connected in parallel, the first driven by DrivE-Tech and the second with a DOL connection, it is necessary makes sure that the value “delta control” will be sufficiently high to ensure the first pump, once the DOL pump is switched on, will reach a frequency higher than its minimum frequency value.
  • Page 28 As a further help, you can connect another two DOL pumps to the DrivE-Tech Master to cover additional water demand; they will be operated only when all the COMBO pumps are already in operation. RS485 serial connection DrivE-Tech’s communication is made through a private protocol using the RS485 port. Each DrivE-Tech must be connected to each other by using a tripolar cable (0,5 mm ) wired on S+,S-,G pins on control board.
