Update Was Scheduled for Rollout at 2018 South Atlantic Jubilee
Fort Wayne, Ind., based pump and drive manufacturer Franklin Electric plans to unveil an updated SubDrive Utility Variable Frequency Drive enhanced to include submersible permanent split capacitor (PSC) and surface pump functionality.
The update was scheduled for rollout at the 2018 South Atlantic Jubilee. The drive now turns a variety of conventional water pumping systems into constant pressure systems, including 2-wire submersible pumping systems ranging from ⅓ hp up to 1½ hp, along with 115 V and 230 V single-phase 2-wire submersible PSC, above-ground booster, and jet pumps with overload current ratings from 4.6 A to 13.1 A. The company says drives already in the field will feature the same functionality after a firmware updated. Check the Downloads section of the SubDrive Utility product page on www.franklinwater.com.
