NOTE: 1 ft = 0.305 m
A 10-foot (3.05 m) section of cable is provided with the SubDrive/MonoDrive to connect the pressure sensor.
NOTE:
• Maximum allowable wire lengths are measured between the controller and motor.
• Aluminum wires should not be used with the SubDrive/MonoDrive.
• All wiring to comply with the National Electrical Code and local codes.
• MonoDrive minimum breaker amps may be lower than AIM Manual specifications for the motors listed
due to the soft-starting characteristic of the MonoDrive controller.
• SubDrive minimum breaker amps may appear to exceed AIM Manual specifications for the motors listed
because SubDrive controllers are supplied from a single-phase service rather than three-phase.
• Motor Overload Protection Note: The drive electronics provide motor overload protection by preventing
motor current from exceeding the maximum Service Factor Amps (SFA). Motor overtemperature sensing
is not provided by the drive.

Generator Sizing

Basic generator sizing for the Franklin Electric SubDrive/MonoDrive system is 1.5 times maximum
input watts consumed by the drive, rounded up to the next normal-sized generator.
Recommended minimum generator sizes:
MonoDrive
1/2 hp = 2000 Watts (2 kW)
3/4 hp = 3000 Watts (3 kW)
1 hp = 3500 Watts (3.5 kW)
MonoDriveXT
1.5 hp = 4000 Watts (4 kW)
2 hp = 5000 Watts (5 kW)
SubDrive15 = 3500 Watts (3.5 kW)
SubDrive20 = 5700 Watts (6 kW)
SubDrive30 = 7000 Watts (7 kW)
Note: Not to be used on a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). If using an externally regulated generator,
verify that the voltage, Hertz and idle speed are appropriate to supply the drive.
