PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
The Franklin Electric SubDrive Connect product family includes variable frequency drives (VFD) designed
to control and protect 3-wire, single- or three-phase motors, enhancing pump performance for residen-
tial and light commercial water system applications. When used with Franklin Electric motors, the Sub-
Drive Connect drives a motor and pump at variable speeds to maintain constant water pressure, even as
user demands (water flow) change.
The SubDrive Connect series provides the capability to use a three-phase motor with single-phase in-
coming power, which adds new efficiency and quiet performance to rural homes and businesses.
