PUMP SIZING
The SubDrive Utility is designed to convert a conventional 1/3 hp (0.25 kW), 1/2 hp (0.37 kW), 3/4 hp (0.55 kW), 1.0 hp (0.75 kW), or 1.5 hp (1.1 kW)
pump system to a variable speed constant pressure system by simply replacing the pressure switch. Maximum pump output using the SubDrive
Utility is similar to the performance achieved using a pressure switch. Therefore, the pump selection criteria are the same as if a pressure switch
were used. (Refer to the pump manufacturer's literature for details of the pump selection procedure.)
If a pump and motor as described above are already installed in the system, and the well system components are in good working order, no
further system upgrades are required. However, if the existing pump and motor have not been properly chosen, or if the components of the
well system are not in good working order, the SubDrive Utility cannot be used to correct the problem or extend the life of aging components.
GENERATOR SIZING
Basic generator sizing for the Franklin Electric SubDrive Utility system is 1.5 times the maximum input watts consumed by the drive,
rounded up to the next normal-sized generator.
Recommended minimum generator size for the SubDrive Utility is 6000 watts (6 kW) nominal.
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.
NOTE: Not compatible with inverter-controlled generators.
DRIVE MOUNTING
The SubDrive Utility unit should be mounted on a surface or backplate no smaller than the outer controller dimensions in order to maintain the
NEMA 3R rating. The controller must be mounted at least 18" (45.7 cm) off the ground.
The controller is mounted using the hanging tab on the top side of the enclosure, as well as two (2) additional mounting holes on the bottom of
the controller. All three (3) screw hole locations should be used to ensure the controller is securely mounted to the backplate or wall.
