SubDrive/MonoDrive
Generator Sizing for SubDrive/MonoDrive
Basic generator sizing for the Franklin Electric SubDrive/MonoDrive system is 1.5 times
maximum input Watts consumed by the drive, rounded up to the next normal sized
generator.
Recommended minimum generator sizes:
MonoDrive
1/2 hp (0.37 kW) = 2000 Watts (2 kW)
3/4 hp (0.55 kW) = 3000 Watts (3 kW)
1 hp (0.75 kW) = 3500 Watts (3.5 kW)
MonoDriveXT
1.5 hp (1.1kW) = 4000 Watts (4 kW)
2 hp (1.5 kW) = 5000 Watts (5 kW)
SubDrive75 = 3500 Watts (3.5 kW)
SubDrive100 = 5700 Watts (6 kW)
SubDrive150 = 7000 Watts (7 kW)
SubDrive300 = 11000 Watts (11 kW)
SubDrive2W = 6000 Watts (6 kW)
NOTE: Not to be used on a Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor (GFCI). If using an externally regulated
generator, verify that the voltage, hertz, and idle speed are appropriate to supply the drive.
Controller Location Selection
The SubDrive controller is intended for operation in ambient temperatures up to 125° F (50° C) at
230 VAC input. The following recommendations will help in selection of the proper location of the
SubDrive unit:
1. A tank tee is recommended for mounting the tank, pressure sensor, pressure gauge, and
pressure relief valve at one junction. If a tank tee is not used, the pressure sensor should
be located within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the pressure tank to minimize pressure
fluctuations. There should be no elbows between the tank and pressure sensor.
2. The unit should be mounted on a sturdy supporting structure such as a wall or
supporting post. Please take into account the weight of the unit.
3. The electronics inside the SubDrive/MonoDrive are air-cooled. As a result, there should
be at least 6 inches (15.24 cm) of clearance on each side and below the unit to allow
room for air flow.
4 Do not expose a SubDrive/MonoDrive with NEMA 1 enclosure to rain or water spray.
For outdoor installations, select a controller with the NEMA 4 enclosure option only
Please see additional considerations for NEMA 4.
5. The SubDrive/MonoDrive should only be mounted with the wiring end oriented
downward. The controller should not be placed in direct sunlight or other locations
subject to extreme temperatures or humidity (mounting location should not be subjected
to freezing conditions or condensation).
6. The mounting location should have access to 230 VAC electrical supply and to the
submersible motor wiring. To avoid possible interference with other appliances, please
refer to the Installation Guide and observe all precautions regarding power cable routing.
