*1 ft = 0.305 m
NOTES:
• The use of 600V minimum rated motor cable is required.
• SubDrive models show cable lengths for highest power motor supported by each model.
• A 10-foot (3.05 m) section of cable is provided with the SubDrive/MonoDrive to connect the analog pressure
transducer.
• 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.
• Flat-jacketed submersible motor cable is recommended. All splices in the motor cable must be properly
sealed with the appropriate water tight shrink tubing. Extreme caution must be taken, especially when using
non-jacketed motor cable, to avoid damaging or compromising the motor cable insulation during installation
or service. Improper splicing or damage to motor cable insulation may expose the conductor(s) to moisture
and can produce motor cable failure.

Generator Sizing

Basic generator sizing for the Franklin Electric SubDrive/MonoDrive system is 1.5 times the maximum input watts
consumed by the drive, rounded up to the next normal-sized generator.
Recommended minimum generator sizes:
MonoDrive C
1/2 hp = 2000 Watts (2 kW)
3/4 hp = 3000 Watts (3 kW)
1 hp = 3500 Watts (3.5 kW)
MonoDriveXT C
1.5 hp = 4000 Watts (4 kW)
2 hp = 5000 Watts (5 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.
