* Depending on application, an additional output lter may be required with these lead lengths. Line reactor for cable runs over 330m
eliminates nuisance OL trips due to capacitive discharge currents. If nuisance tripping of OL protection is observed, output lter
#255 930 913 must be installed at the motor drive output.
NOTES:
• The use of 600V minimum rated motor cable is required.
• SubDrive models show cable lengths for highest power motor supported by each model.
• Cable lengths above 330m may require an additional output lter (225930913)
• A 3 m (10-foot) section of cable is provided with the SubDrive 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.
• All wiring to comply with the National Electrical Code and local codes.
• SubDrive minimum breaker amps may appear to exceed AIM Manual speci cations 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 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:
SubDrive1100 C = 3500 Watts (3.5 kW)
SubDrive1500 C = 5700 Watts (6 kW)
SubDrive2200 C = 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.
