AIM Manual VFD Update

Posted on by copywriterfele

Variable Frequency Drive Submersible Motor Requirements

We strive to improve and maintain quality standards that exceed our customer expectations. To address the growing large submersible motor markets, the Franklin Electric Submersible Application Installation Maintenance (AIM) manual Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) section has been updated to stress the need for an additional output filter to be purchased for virtually all large submersible motor applications.

The Variable Frequency Drive Submersible Motor Requirements section of the AIM manual is available to download from the Franklin Electric website.

Additionally, a VFD Output Filter Supplement is available with commentary on why the need for an output filter on submersible motors is different from those for aboveground motors. This supplement is informational only and is not included in the AIM manual. To obtain a copy, please contact your local Franklin Electric Representative.

If you have any further questions concerning the AIM manual update or VFD Output Filter Supplement, please contact Franklin Electric’s Technical Service Hotline at 800.348.2420 or hotline@fele.com.

New 4×6-13H Pump Unit

Posted on by copywriterfele

Franklin Electric offers a wide array of Irrigation & Industrial products designed specifically for the water pumping industry and continuously strives to provide products to meet every application need. Effective May 1, 2011, Franklin Electric’s line of pumps is expanding to include a new 4×6-13H pump unit.  The original 4×6-13 will still be available for repair parts until the 4×6-13H is fully implemented.

The difference between the 4×6-13 and the 4×6-13H pump unit is the hydraulic performance.  The casing, wear rings, shaft sleeve, and all other components remain the same.  The 4×6-13H pump unit was designed to provide premium efficiency, higher flow ratings and lower horsepower draw to better compete in the Irrigation and Industrial markets Franklin serves.

Franklin Irrigation and Industrial pumps feature proven components and provide superior performance for irrigation, community water systems, boosting, and recirculation. Franklin Electric will continue to embrace new opportunities with innovative products and services for this market segment.

1.5 hp Control Box Model Change

Posted on by copywriterfele

Effective March 2011, Franklin Electric will modify the existing 1.5 hp control box. These changes are in response to comments from the field and will be implemented without further hesitation.

While maintaining our current run winding overload protection, we added a start winding overload protector and an increase to 15 mf in the run capacitor. These alterations improve efficiency, smooth motor operation, and reduce amp draw, as well as eliminate date code confusion with overload/capacitor kits.

The modified 1.5 hp control box model (2823008110) will be the only model required to operate and protect the Franklin Electric 1.5 hp 3-wire motor. Current inventory will be depleted prior to issuing the new control box.
