Description and Features The Franklin Electric SubDrive is a dependable residential water system controller that uses advanced electronics to enhance the performance of standard submersible pumps. When used with the specified Franklin Electric motor (see Table 1, pg. 3), the SubDrive eliminates pressure cycling associated with conventional water well systems and owners of private water well systems can enjoy “city-like”...
How it Works The Franklin Electric SubDrive is designed to be part of a system that consists of only four components: A. Standard Pump and Franklin Electric Motor B. SubDrive Controller C. Small Pressure Tank (see Table 4, pg. 14) D.
Pump Sizing – SubDrive75 The SubDrive75 is configured at the factory for use with 0.55 kW pumps that are mounted to 1.1 kW Franklin Electric three-phase motors. In general, the SubDrive75 will enhance the performance of a 0.55 kw pump to a similar or better performance than a conventional 1.1 kW pump of the same flow rating (pump series).
The SubDrive100 is configured at the factory for use with 0.75 kW pumps that are mounted to 1.5 kW Franklin Electric three-phase motors. In general, the SubDrive100 will enhance the performance of a 0.75 kW pump to a similar or better performance than a conventional 1.5 kW pump of the same flow rating (pump series).
The SubDrive150 is configured at the factory for use with 1.1 kW pumps that are mounted to 2.2 kW Franklin Electric three-phase motors. In general, the SubDrive150 will enhance the performance of a 1.1 kW pump to a similar or better performance than a conventional 2.2 kW pump of the same flow rating (pump series).
Underload Sensitivity Selection – SubDrive75/100/150 The SubDrive controller is configured at the factory to ensure detection of Underload faults in a wide variety of pumping Configuration applications. In rare cases (as with certain pumps in shallow Switch SW1 wells) this trip level may result in nuisance faults. If the pump is installed in a shallow well, activate the controller and observe system behavior.
INFO Use SubDrive only with Franklin Electric 4-inch submersible motors as specified in this manual. Use of this unit with any other Franklin Electric motor or with motors from other manufacturers may result in damage to both motor and electronics.
Controller Location Selection The SubDrive controller is intended for operation in ambient temperatures up to 50 °C at 230 VAC input. The following recommendations will help in selection of the proper location of the SubDrive unit: 1. A tank tee is recommended for mounting the tank, pressure sensor, pressure gauge, and pressure relief valve at one junction.
Below recommendations are identical to ones found in motor literature for off the grid operation at 230V / 50Hz, cable length being limited to max. 330m. Metric Cable Size, Square Millimeters, Copper Rated Power Franklin Electric Wire, 70°C Rated Insulation Controller Model Motor Model...
The SubDrive can also use an existing tank with a much larger capacity. Table 4: Minimum Pressure Tank Size (Total Capacity) Pump Flow Rating Controller Model Minimum Tank Size SubDrive75 8 liters Less than 2,5 m³/h SubDrive100 18 liters SubDrive150...
Wiring Connections DANGER Serious or fatal electrical shock may result from failure to connect the motor, the SubDrive, metal plumbing and all other metal near the motor, or cable to the power supply ground terminal, using wire no smaller than motor cable wires.
10. Connect the other end of the pressure sensor cable with the Remove Rubber End Cap To Adjust Pressure With 7/32" Allen Wrench (provided) two spade terminals to the pressure sensor. The connections are interchangeable (Figure 5A). Pressure Sensor 11. Set the pressure tank pre-charge at 70% of the desired water Boot pressure setting.
