Submersible Motors
Application • Installation • Maintenance Manual
The submersible motor is a reliable, effi cient and troublefree means of powering a pump. Its needs for a long
operational life are simple. They are:
1. A suitable operating environment
2. An adequate supply of electricity
3. An adequate fl ow of cooling water over the motor
All considerations of application, installation, and
maintenance of submersible motors relating to these four
areas are presented in this manual. Franklin Electric’s
web page, www.franklin-electric.com, should be checked
for the latest updates.
Franklin Electric submersible motors are a waterlubricated design. The fi ll solution consists of a mixture
of deionized water and Propylene Glycol (a non-toxic
antifreeze). The solution will prevent damage from
freezing in temperatures to -40 °F (-40 °C); motors should
be stored in areas that do not go below this temperature.
The solution will partially freeze below 27 °F (-3 °C),
but no damage occurs. Repeated freezing and thawing
should be avoided to prevent possible loss of fi ll solution.
There may be an interchange of fi ll solution with well
water during operation. Care must be taken with motors
removed from wells during freezing conditions to
prevent damage.
Frequency of Starts
The average number of starts per day over a period
of months or years infl uences the life of a submersible
pumping system. Excessive cycling affects the life of
control components such as pressure switches, starters,
relays and capacitors. Rapid cycling can also cause
motor spline damage, bearing damage, and motor
overheating. All these conditions can lead to reduced
motor life.
The pump size, tank size and other controls should be
selected to keep the starts per day as low as practical for
longest life. The maximum number of starts per 24-hour
period is shown in table 3.
Motors should run a minimum of one minute to dissipate
heat build up from starting current. 6" and larger motors
should have a minimum of 15 minutes between starts or
starting attempts.
When the storage temperature does not exceed
100 °F (37 °C), storage time should be limited to two
years. Where temperatures reach 100° to 130 °F, storage
time should be limited to one year.
Loss of a few drops of liquid will not damage the motor
as an excess amount is provided, and the fi lter check
valve will allow lost liquid to be replaced by fi ltered well
water upon installation. If there is reason to believe there
has been a considerable amount of leakage, consult the
factory for checking procedures.

Mounting Position
Franklin submersible motors are designed primarily for
operation in the vertical, shaft-up position.
During acceleration, the pump thrust increases as its
output head increases. In cases where the pump head
stays below its normal operating range during startup and
full speed condition, the pump may create upward thrust.
This creates upward thrust on the motor upthrust bearing.
This is an acceptable operation for short periods at each
start, but running continuously with upthrust will cause
excessive wear on the upthrust bearing.
With certain additional restrictions as listed in this section
and the Inline Booster Pump Systems sections of this
manual, motors are also suitable for operation in positions
3
from shaft-up to shaft-horizontal. As the mounting position
becomes further from vertical and closer to horizontal, the
probability of shortened thrust bearing life increases. For
normal motor life expectancy with motor positions other
than shaft-up, follow these recommendations:
1. Minimize the frequency of starts, preferably to fewer
than 10 per 24-hour period. 6” and 8” motors should
have a minimum of 20 minutes between starts or
starting attempts
2. Do not use in systems which can run even for short
periods at full speed without thrust toward the motor.

Transformer Capacity - Single-Phase or Three-Phase
Distribution transformers must be adequately sized to
satisfy the kVA requirements of the submersible motor.
When transformers are too small to supply the load, there
is a reduction in voltage to the motor.

Effects of Torque
During starting of a submersible pump, the torque
developed by the motor must be supported through the
pump, delivery pipe or other supports. Most pumps rotate
in the direction which causes unscrewing torque on
right-handed threaded pipe or pump stages. All threaded
joints, pumps and other parts of the pump support system
must be capable of withstanding the maximum torque
repeatedly without loosening or breaking. Unscrewing
joints will break electrical cable and may cause loss of the
pump-motor unit.

To safely withstand maximum unscrewing torques with

joints to at least 10 lb-ft per motor horsepower is
recommended (table 4A). It may be necessary to tack
or strap weld pipe joints on high horsepower pumps,
especially at shallower settings.

Application – All Motors
Use of Engine Driven Generators - Single-Phase or Three-Phase
Table 5 lists minimum generator sizes based on typical
80 °C rise continuous duty generators, with 35%
maximum voltage dip during starting, for Franklin’s threewire motors, single- or three-phase.
This is a general chart. The generator manufacturer
should be consulted whenever possible, especially on
larger sizes.
There are two types of generators available: externally
and internally regulated. Most are externally regulated.
They use an external voltage regulator that senses the
output voltage. As the voltage dips at motor start-up, the
regulator increases the output voltage of the generator.
Internally regulated (self-excited) generators have an
extra winding in the generator stator. The extra winding
senses the output current to automatically adjust the
output voltage.
Generators must be sized to deliver at least 65% of the
rated voltage during starting to ensure adequate starting
torque. Besides sizing, generator frequency is important
as the motor speed varies with the frequency (Hz). Due
to pump affi nity laws, a pump running at 1 to 2 Hz below
motor nameplate frequency design will not meet its
performance curve. Conversely, a pump running at 1 to 2
Hz above may trip overloads.
Generator Operation
Always start the generator before the motor is started
and always stop the motor before the generator is shut
down. The motor thrust bearing may be damaged if
the generator is allowed to coast down with the motor
running. This same condition occurs when the generator
is allowed to run out of fuel.
Follow generator manufacturer’s recommendations for
de-rating at higher elevations or using natural gas.
Table 5 Engine Driven Generators
NOTE: This chart applies to 3-wire or 3-phase
motors. For best starting of 2-wire motors, the
minimum generator rating is 50% higher than shown.
WARNING: To prevent accidental electrocution,
automatic or manual transfer switches must be used
any time a generator is used as standby or back
up on power lines. Contact power company for use
and approval.
Use of Check Valves
It is recommended that one or more check valves always
be used in submersible pump installations. If the pump
does not have a built-in check valve, a line check valve
should be installed in the discharge line within 25 feet
of the pump and below the draw down level of the water
supply. For deeper settings, check valves should be
installed per the manufacturer’s recommendations. More
than one check valve may be required, but more than the
recommended number of check valves should not
be used.
Swing type check valves are not acceptable and should
never be used with submersible motors/pumps. Swing
type check valves have a slower reaction time which can
cause water hammer (see next page). Internal pump
check valves or spring loaded check valves close quickly
and help eliminate water hammer.
Check valves are used to hold pressure in the system
when the pump stops. They also prevent backspin, water
5
hammer and upthrust. Any of these can lead to early
pump or motor failure.
NOTE: Only positive sealing check valves should be
used in submersible installations. Although drilling the
check valves or using drain-back check valves may
prevent back spinning, they create upthrust and water
hammer problems.
A. Backspin - With no check valve or a failed check
valve, the water in the drop pipe and the water in the
system can fl ow down the discharge pipe when the
motor stops. This can cause the pump to rotate in
a reverse direction. If the motor is started while it is
backspinning, an excessive force is placed across
the pump-motor assembly that can cause impeller
damage, motor or pump shaft breakage, excessive
bearing wear, etc.
B. Upthrust - With no check valve, a leaking check
valve, or drilled check valve, the unit starts under
Application – All Motors
a zero head condition. This causes an uplifting or
upthrust on the impeller-shaft assembly in the pump.
This upward movement carries across the pumpmotor coupling and creates an upthrust condition in
the motor. Repeated upthrust can cause premature
failure of both the pump and the motor.
C. Water Hammer - If the lowest check valve is more
than 30 feet above the standing (lowest static)
water level, or a lower check valve leaks and the
the discharge piping. On the next pump start, water
moving at very high velocity fi lls the void and strikes
the closed check valve and the stationary water in the
pipe above it, causing a hydraulic shock. This shock
can split pipes, break joints and damage the pump
and/or motor. Water hammer can often be heard or
felt. When discovered, the system should be shut
down and the pump installer contacted to correct
the problem.
check valve above holds, a vacuum is created in
Wells – Large Diameter, Uncased, Top Feeding and Screened Sections
Franklin Electric submersible motors are designed to
operate with a cooling fl ow of water over and around the
full length of the motor.
If the pump installation does not provide the minimum fl ow
shown in table 6, a fl ow inducer sleeve (fl ow sleeve) must
be used. The conditions requiring a fl ow sleeve are:
• Well diameter is too large to meet table 6
fl ow requirements.
• Pump is in an open body of water.
• Pump is in a rock well or below the well casing.
• The well is “top-feeding” (a.k.a. cascading)
• Pump is set in or below screens or perforations.
Water Temperature and Flow
Franklin Electric’s standard submersible motors, except
Hi-Temp designs (see note below), are designed to
operate up to maximum service factor horsepower in
water up to 86 °F (30 °C). A fl ow of 0.25 ft/s for 4" motors
rated 3 hp and higher, and 0.5 ft/s for 6 and 8" motors is
required for proper cooling. Table 6 shows minimum fl ow
rates, in gpm, for various well diameters and motor sizes.
If a standard motor is operated in water over 86 °F
(30 °C), water fl ow past the motor must be increased to
maintain safe motor operating temperatures. See
HOT WATER APPLICATIONS on page 7.
NOTE: Franklin Electric offers a line of Hi-Temp motors
designed to operate in water at higher temperatures or
lower fl ow conditions. Consult factory for details.

Franklin Electric offers a line of Hi-Temp motors
which are designed to operate in water with
various temperatures up to 194 °F (90 °C) without
increased fl ow. When a standard pump-motor
operates in water hotter than 86 °F (30 °C), a fl ow
rate of at least 3 ft/s is required. When selecting
the motor to drive a pump in over 86 °F (30 °C)
water, the motor horsepower must be de-rated per
the following procedure.
1. Using table 7A, determine pump gpm required
for different well or sleeve diameters. If
necessary, add a fl ow sleeve to obtain at least
3 ft/s fl ow rate.
EXAMPLE: A 6" pump end requiring 39 hp input will
pump 124 °F water in an 8" well at a delivery rate of 140
gpm. From table 7A, a 6" fl ow sleeve will be required to
increase the fl ow rate to at least 3 ft/s
Using table 8, the 1.62 heat factor multiplier is selected
because the hp required is over 30 hp and water
temperature is above 122 °F. Multiply 39 hp x 1.62
(multiplier), which equals 63.2 hp. This is the minimum
rated service factor horsepower usable at 39 hp in 124 °F.
Using table 8A, select a motor with a rated service factor
horsepower above 63.2 hp. A 60 hp motor has a service
factor horsepower of 69, so a 60 hp motor may be used.

Grounding Control Boxes and Panels
The National Electrical Code requires that the control box
or panel-grounding terminal always be connected to supply
ground. If the circuit has no grounding conductor and no
metal conduit from the box to supply panel, use a wire at
least as large as line conductors and connect as required
by the National Electrical Code, from the grounding terminal
to the electrical supply ground.
Grounding Surge Arrestors
An above ground surge arrestor must be grounded,
metal to metal, all the way to the lowest draw down water
strata for the surge arrestor to be effective. GROUNDING
THE ARRESTOR TO THE SUPPLY GROUND OR TO
A DRIVEN GROUND ROD PROVIDES LITTLE OR NO
SURGE PROTECTION FOR THE MOTOR.
Control Box and Panel Environment
Franklin Electric control boxes meet UL requirements for
NEMA Type 3R enclosures. They are suitable for indoor
and outdoor applications within temperatures of +14 °F
(-10 °C) to 122 °F (50 °C). Operating control boxes below
+14 °F can cause reduced starting torque and loss of
overload protection when overloads are located in
control boxes.
Control boxes and panels should never be mounted in
direct sunlight or high temperature locations. This will
cause shortened capacitor life and unnecessary tripping
to maximize delivery, are not recommended, since the
suction created can be lower than atmospheric pressure.
WARNING: Failure to ground the control frame can
result in a serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
of overload protectors. A ventilated enclosure painted
white to refl ect heat is recommended for an outdoor, high
temperature location.
A damp well pit, or other humid location, accelerates
component failure from corrosion.
Control boxes with voltage relays are designed for
vertical upright mounting only. Mounting in other
positions will affect the operation of the relay.
Equipment Grounding
WARNING: Serious or fatal electrical shock may
result from failure to connect the motor, control
enclosures, metal plumbing and all other metal
near the motor or cable to the power supply ground
terminal using wire no smaller than motor cable wires.
The primary purpose of grounding the metal drop pipe
and/or metal well casing in an installation is safety. It is
done to limit the voltage between nonelectrical (exposed
metal) parts of the system and ground, thus minimizing
dangerous shock hazards. Using wire at least the size of
the motor cable wires provides adequate current-carrying
capability for any ground fault that might occur. It also
provides a low resistance path to ground, ensuring that
the current to ground will be large enough to trip any
overcurrent device designed to detect faults (such as a
ground fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI).
Normally, the ground wire to the motor would provide the
9
primary path back to the power supply ground for any
ground fault. There are conditions, however, where the
ground wire connection could become compromised.
One such example would be the case where the water
in the well is abnormally corrosive or aggressive. In this
example, a grounded metal drop pipe or casing would
then become the primary path to ground. However,
the many installations that now use plastic drop pipes
and/or casings require further steps to be taken for
safety purposes, so that the water column itself does not
become the conductive path to ground.
When an installation has abnormally corrosive water
AND the drop pipe or casing is plastic, Franklin Electric
recommends the use of a GFCI with a 10 mA set-point.
In this case, the motor ground wire should be routed
through the current-sensing device along with the motor
power leads. Wired this way, the GFCI will trip only when
a ground fault has occurred AND the motor ground wire
is no longer functional.
Application – Single-Phase Motors
3-Wire Control Boxes
Single-phase three-wire submersible motors require the
use of control boxes. Operation of motors without control
boxes or with incorrect boxes can result in motor failure
and voids warranty.
Control boxes contain starting capacitors, a starting
relay, and, in some sizes, overload protectors, running
capacitors and contactors.
Ratings through 1 hp may use either a Franklin Electric
solid state QD or a potential (voltage) type starting relay,
while larger ratings use potential relays.
Potential (Voltage) Relays
Potential relays have normally closed contacts. When
power is applied, both start and main motor windings
are energized, and the motor starts. At this instant, the
voltage across the start winding is relatively low and not
2-Wire Motor Solid State Controls
BIAC Switch Operation
When power is applied the bi-metal switch contacts are
closed, so the triac is conducting and energizes the start
winding. As rpm increases, the voltage in the sensor coil
generates heat in the bi-metal strip, causing the bi-metal
strip to bend and open the switch circuit. This removes
the starting winding and the motor continues to run on
the main winding alone.
Approximately 5 seconds after power is removed from
the motor, the bi-metal strip cools suffi ciently to return
to its closed position and the motor is ready for the next
start cycle.
enough to open the contacts of the relay.
As the motor accelerates, the increasing voltage across
the start winding (and the relay coil) opens the relay
contacts. This opens the starting circuit and the motor
continues to run on the main winding alone, or the main
plus run capacitor circuit. After the motor is started the
relay contacts remain open.
CAUTION: The control box and motor are two pieces
of one assembly. Be certain that the control box and
motor hp and voltage match. Since a motor is designed
to operate with a control box from the same
manufacturer, we can promise warranty coverage
only when a Franklin control box is used with a
Franklin motor.
to restart the motor before the starting switch has reset,
the motor may not start; however, there will be current in
the main winding until the overload protector interrupts
the circuit. The time for the protector to reset is longer
than the reset of the starting switch. Therefore, the start
switch will have closed and the motor will operate.
A waterlogged tank will cause fast cycling. When a
waterlogged condition does occur, the user will be
alerted to the problem during the off time (overload reset
time) since the pressure will drop drastically. When the
waterlogged tank condition is detected, the condition
should be corrected to prevent nuisance tripping of the
overload protector.
Rapid Cycling
The BIAC starting switch will reset within approximately 5
seconds after the motor is stopped. If an attempt is made
CAUTION: Restarting the motor within 5 seconds
after power is removed may cause the motor overload
to trip.
QD Relays (Solid State)
There are two elements in the relay: a reed switch and
a triac. The reed switch consists of two tiny rectangular
blade-type contacts, which bend under magnetic fl ux. It
is hermetically sealed in glass and is located within a coil,
which conducts line current. When power is supplied to
the control box, the main winding current passing through
the coil immediately closes the reed switch contacts.
This turns on the triac, which supplies voltage to the start
winding, thus starting the motor.
Once the motor is started, the operation of the QD relay
is an interaction between the triac, the reed switch and
Bound Pump (Sandlocked)
When the motor is not free to turn, as with a sandlocked
pump, the BIAC switch creates a “reverse impact
torque” in the motor in either direction. When the sand is
dislodged, the motor will start and operate in the
correct direction.
the motor windings. The solid state switch senses motor
speed through the changing phase relationship between
start winding current and line current. As the motor
approaches running speed, the phase angle between
the start current and the line current becomes nearly
in phase. At this point, the reed switch contacts open,
turning off the triac. This removes voltage from the start
winding and the motor continues to run on the main
winding only. With the reed switch contacts open and
the triac turned off, the QD relay is ready for the next
starting cycle.

1 Foot = .3048 Meter
Lengths in BOLD only meet the US National Electrical
Code ampacity requirements for individual conductors
60 °C or 75 °C in free air or water, not in magnetic
enclosures, conduit or direct buried.
Lengths NOT in bold meet the NEC ampacity
requirements for either individual conductors or jacketed
60 °C or 75 °C cable and can be in conduit or direct
buried. Flat molded and web/ribbon cable are considered
jacketed cable.
If any other cable is used, the NEC and local codes
should be observed.
Cable lengths in tables 11 & 11A allow for a 5% voltage
drop running at maximum nameplate amperes. If 3%
voltage drop is desired, multiply table 11 and 11A lengths
by 0.6 to get maximum cable length.
11
The portion of the total cable length, which is between
the supply and single-phase control box with a line
contactor, should not exceed 25% of total maximum
allowable to ensure reliable contactor operation. Singlephase control boxes without line contactors may be
connected at any point in the total cable length.
Tables 11 & 11A are based on copper wire. If aluminum
wire is used, it must be two sizes larger than copper wire
and oxidation inhibitors must be used on connections.
EXAMPLE: If tables 11 & 11A call for #12 copper wire,
#10 aluminum wire would be required.
Contact Franklin Electric for 90 °C cable lengths. See
pages 15, 48, and 49 for applications using 230 V motors
on 208 V power systems.
Application – Single-Phase Motors
Two or More Different Cable Sizes Can Be Used
Depending on the installation, any number of
combinations of cable may be used.
For example, in a replacement/upgrade installation, the
well already has 160 feet of buried #10 cable between
the service entrance and the wellhead. A new 3 hp,
230-volt, single-phase motor is being installed to replace
a smaller motor. The question is: Since there is already
160 feet of #10 AWG installed, what size cable is
required in the well with a 3 hp, 230-volt, single-phase
motor setting at 310 feet?
From tables 11 & 11A, a 3 hp motor can use up to 300
feet of #10 AWG cable.
The application has 160 feet of #10 AWG copper
wire installed.
Using the formula below, 160 feet (actual) ÷ 300 feet
(max allowable) is equal to 0.533. This means 53.3%
(0.533 x 100) of the allowable voltage drop or loss, which
is allowed between the service entrance and the motor,
Formula:
Actual Length
Max Allowed
occurs in this wire. This leaves us 46.7% (1.00 - 0.533
= 0.467) of some other wire size to use in the remaining
310 feet “down hole” wire run.
The table shows #8 AWG copper wire is good for 470
feet. Using the formula again, 310 feet (used) ÷ 470 feet
(allowed) = 0.660; adding this to the 0.533 determined
earlier; 0.533 + 0.660 = 1.193. This combination is
greater than 1.00, so the voltage drop will not meet US
National Electrical Code recommendations.
Tables 11 & 11A show #6 AWG copper wire is good
for 750 feet. Using the formula, 310 ÷ 750 = 0.413, and
using these numbers, 0.533 + 0.413 = 0.946, we fi nd this
is less than one and will meet the NEC recommended
voltage drop.
This works for two, three or more combinations of wire
and it does not matter which size wire comes fi rst in
the installation.

Auxiliary Running Capacitors
Added capacitors must be connected across “Red” and
“Black” control box terminals, in parallel with any existing
running capacitors. The additional capacitor(s) should
be mounted in an auxiliary box. The values of additional
running capacitors most likely to reduce noise are given
below. The tabulation gives the max S.F. amps normally
Although motor amps decrease when auxiliary
run capacitance is added, the load on the motor
does not. If a motor is overloaded with normal
capacitance, it still will be overloaded with auxiliary
run capacitance, even though motor amps may be
within nameplate values.

Adding capacitors will cause switch failure. If the control box is converted to use a voltage relay, the specifi ed

Buck-Boost Transformers
When the available power supply voltage is not within
the proper range, a buck-boost transformer is often
used to adjust voltage to match the motor. The most
common usage on submersible motors is boosting a
208 volt supply to use a standard 230 volt single-phase
submersible motor and control. While tables to give a

Application – Three-Phase Motors
Overload Protection of Three-Phase Submersible Motors
The characteristics of submersible motors are different
than standard motors and special overload protection
is required.
If the motor is locked, the overload protection must trip
within 10 seconds to protect the motor windings. Subtrol/
SubMonitor, a Franklin-approved adjustable overload
relay, or a Franklin-approved fi xed heater must be used.
Fixed heater overloads must be the ambient-compensated
quick-trip type to maintain protection at high and low
air temperatures.
All heaters and amp settings shown are based on total
line amps. When determining amperage settings or
making heater selections for a six-lead motor with a
Wye-Delta starter, divide motor amps by 1.732.
pages 28, 29 and 30 list the correct selection and
settings for some manufacturers. Approval for other
manufacturers’ types not listed may be requested by
calling Franklin’s Submersible Service Hotline at
800-348-2420.
Refer to notes on page 29.

Submersible Pump Installation Check List
1. Motor Inspection
A. Verify that the model, hp or kW, voltage, phase and hertz on the motor nameplate match the
❑
installation requirements.
B. Check that the motor lead assembly is not damaged.
❑
C. Measure insulation resistance using a 500 or 1000 volt DC megohmmeter from each lead wire to the
❑
motor frame. Resistance should be at least 200 megohms without drop cable.
D. Keep a record of motor model number, hp or kW, voltage, and serial number (S/N).
❑
(S/N is stamped in shell above the nameplate. A typical example, S/N 07A18 01-0123)
2. Pump Inspection
A. Check that the pump rating matches the motor.
❑
B. Check for pump damage and verify that the pump shaft turns freely.
❑
3. Pump/Motor Assembly
A. If not yet assembled, check that pump and motor mounting faces are free from dirt, debris and uneven
❑
paint thickness.
B. Pumps and motors over 5 hp should be assembled in the vertical position to prevent stress on pump
❑
brackets and shafts. Assemble the pump and motor together so their mounting faces are in contact and then tighten assembly bolts or nuts evenly to manufacturer specifi cations.
C. If accessible, check that the pump shaft turns freely.
❑
D. Assemble the pump lead guard over the motor leads. Do not cut or pinch lead wires during assembly or
❑
installation.
4. Power Supply and Controls
A. Verify that the power supply voltage, hertz, and kVA capacity match motor requirements.
❑
B. Verify control box hp and voltage matches motor (3-wire only).
❑
C. Check that the electrical installation and controls meet all safety regulations and match the motor
❑
requirements, including fuse or circuit breaker size and motor overload protection. Connect all metal plumbing and electrical enclosures to the power supply ground to prevent shock hazard. Comply with national and local codes.
5. Lightning and Surge Protection
A. Use properly rated surge (lightning) arrestors on all submersible pump installations. Motors 5 hp and
❑
smaller, which are marked “Equipped with Lightning Arrestors”, contain internal arrestors.
B. Ground all above ground arrestors with copper wire directly to the motor frame, or to metal drop pipe or
❑
casing which reaches below the well pumping level. Connecting to a ground rod does not provide good
surge protection.
6. Electrical Drop Cable
A. Use submersible cable sized in accordance with local regulations and the cable charts, see pages 11 and 16-21.
❑
Ground motor per national and local codes.
B. Include a ground wire to the motor and surge protection, connected to the power supply ground if
❑
required by codes. Always ground any pump operated outside a drilled well.
7. Motor Cooling
A. Ensure at all times that the installation provides adequate motor cooling; see page 6 for details.
❑
8. Pump/Motor Installation
A. Splice motor leads to supply cable using electrical grade solder or compression connectors, and carefully
❑
insulate each splice with watertight tape or adhesive-lined shrink tubing, as shown in motor or pump
installation data.
B. Support the cable to the delivery pipe every 10 feet (3 meters) with straps or tape strong enough to
❑
prevent sagging. Use padding between cable and any metal straps.
C. A check valve in the delivery pipe is recommended. More than one check valve may be required,
❑
depending on valve rating and pump setting; see page 5 for details.
D. Assemble all pipe joints as tightly as practical, to prevent unscrewing from motor torque. Torque should
❑
be at least 10 pound feet per hp (2 meter-KG per kW).
E. Set the pump far enough below the lowest pumping level to assure the pump inlet will always have at
❑
least the Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) specifi ed by the pump manufacturer. Pump should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the bottom of the well to allow for sediment build up.
Form No. 3656 02/07
Submersible Pump Installation Check List
❑
F. Check insulation resistance as pump/motor assembly is lowered into the well. Resistance may drop
gradually as more cable enters the water, but any sudden drop indicates possible cable, splice or motor lead damage; see page 44.
9. After Installation
❑
A. Check all electrical and water line connections and parts before starting the pump.
❑
B. Start the pump and check motor amps and pump delivery. If normal, continue to run the pump until delivery is
clear. If three-phase pump delivery is low, it may be running backward. Rotation may be reversed (with power off)
by interchanging any two motor lead connections to the power supply.
❑
C. Check three-phase motors for current balance within 5% of average, using motor manufacturer instructions.
Imbalance over 5% will cause higher motor temperatures and may cause overload trip, vibration, and reduced life.
❑
D. Verify that starting, running and stopping cause no signifi cant vibration or hydraulic shocks.
❑
E. After at least 15 minutes running time, verify that pump output, electrical input, pumping level, and other
characteristics are stable and as specifi ed.

Applications
SubMonitor is designed to protect 3-phase pumps/
motors with service factor amp ratings (SFA) from 5
to 350 A (approx. 3 to 200 hp). Current, voltage, and
motor temperature are monitored using all three legs
and allows the user to set up the SubMonitor quickly
and easily.

Power Factor Correction
In some installations, power supply limitations make it
necessary or desirable to increase the power factor of a
submersible motor. The table lists the capacitive kVAR
required to increase the power factor of large Franklin
three-phase submersible motors to the approximate
values shown at maximum input loading.
Capacitors must be connected on the line side of the

Three-Phase Starter Diagrams
Three-phase combination magnetic starters have two
distinct circuits: a power circuit and a control circuit.
The power circuit consists of a circuit breaker or
fused line switch, contacts, and overload heaters
connecting incoming power lines L1, L2, L3 and the
three-phase motor.
Line Voltage Control
This is the most common type of control encountered.
Since the coil is connected directly across the power
lines L1 and L2, the coil must match the line voltage.
Low Voltage Transformer Control
This control is used when it is desirable to operate push
buttons or other control devices at some voltage lower
than the motor voltage. The transformer primary must
match the line voltage and the coil voltage must match
the secondary voltage of the transformer.
The control circuit consists of the magnetic coil, overload
contacts and a control device such as a pressure switch.
When the control device contacts are closed, current
fl ows through the magnetic contactor coil, the contacts
close, and power is applied to the motor. Hand-Off-Auto
switches, start timers, level controls and other control
devices may also be in series in the control circuit.

Three-Phase Power Unbalance
A full three-phase supply is recommended for all threephase motors, consisting of three individual transformers
poor performance, overload tripping or early motor failure
due to current unbalance.
or one three-phase transformer. So-called “open” delta
or wye connections using only two transformers can be
used, but are more likely to cause problems, such as

FIG. 11
OPEN DELTA
Checking and Correcting Rotation and Current Unbalance
1. Established correct motor rotation by running in both
directions. Change rotation by exchanging any two
of the three motor leads. The rotation that gives the
most water fl ow is always the correct rotation.
2. After correct rotation has been established, check the
current in each of the three motor leads and calculate
the current unbalance as explained in 3 below.
If the current unbalance is 2% or less, leave the leads
as connected.
If the current unbalance is more than 2%, current
readings should be checked on each leg using each
of three possible hook-ups. Roll the motor leads
across the starter in the same direction to prevent
motor reversal.
3. To calculate percent of current unbalance:
A. Add the three line amps values together.
B. Divide the sum by three, yielding average
current.
C. Pick the amp value which is furthest from the
average current (either high or low).
D. Determine the difference between this amp
value (furthest from average) and the average.
E. Divide the difference by the average. Multiply the
result by 100 to determine percent of unbalance.
4. Current unbalance should not exceed 5% at service
factor load or 10% at rated input load. If the unbalance
cannot be corrected by rolling leads, the source of
the unbalance must be located and corrected. If,
on the three possible hookups, the leg farthest from
the average stays on the same power lead, most
of the unbalance is coming from the power source.
However, if the reading farthest from average moves
with the same motor lead, the primary source of
unbalance is on the “motor side” of the starter. In this
instance, consider a damaged cable, leaking splice,
poor connection, or faulty motor winding.

Phase Converters
There are a number of different types of phase converters
available. Each generates three-phase power from a
single-phase power line.
In all phase converters, the voltage balance is critical to
current balance. Although some phase converters may
be well balanced at one point on the system-operating
curve, submersible pumping systems often operate
at differing points on the curve as water levels and
operating pressures fl uctuate. Other converters may be
well balanced at varying loads, but their output may vary
widely with fl uctuations in the input voltage.
The following guidelines have been established for
submersible installations to be warrantable when used
with a phase converter.
1. Limit pump loading to rated horsepower. Do not load
into motor service factor.
2. Maintain at least 3 ft/s fl ow past the motor. Use a fl ow
sleeve when necessary.
3. Use time delay fuses or circuit breakers in pump
panel. Standard fuses or circuit breakers do not
provide secondary motor protection.
4. SubMonitor may be used with electro mechanical
type phase converters, however special connections
are required. Consult SubMonitor Manual for
connections of receiver and lightning arrestor.
5. SubMonitor will not work with electronic solid state
phase converters.
6. Current unbalance must not exceed 10%.

Application – Three-Phase Motors
Reduced Voltage Starters
All Franklin three-phase submersible motors are suitable
for full-voltage starting. Under this condition the motor
speed goes from zero to full speed within a half second
or less. The motor current goes from zero to locked rotor
amps, then drops to running amps at full speed. This
may dim lights, cause momentary voltage dips
to other electrical equipment, and shock power
distribution transformers.
In some cases the power companies may require
reduced-voltage starters to limit this voltage dip. There
are also times when reduced-voltage starters may be
desirable to reduce motor starting torque thus reducing
the stress on shafts, couplings, and discharge piping.
Reduced-voltage starters also slow the rapid acceleration
of the water on start-up to help control upthrust and
water hammer.
Reduced-voltage starters may not be required if the
maximum recommended cable length is used. With
maximum recommended cable length there is a 5%
voltage drop in the cable at running amps, resulting in
about 20% reduction in starting current and about 36%
reduction in starting torque compared to having rated
voltage at the motor. This may be enough reduction in
starting current so that reduced-voltage starters are
not required.
Three-Lead Motors: Autotransformer or solid-state
reduced-voltage starters may be used for soft-starting
standard three-phase motors.
When autotransformer starters are used, the motor
should be supplied with at least 55% of rated voltage to
ensure adequate starting torque. Most autotransformer
starters have 65% and 80% taps. Setting the taps on
these starters depends on the percentage of the
maximum allowable cable length used in the system.
If the cable length is less than 50% of the maximum
allowable, either the 65% or the 80% taps may be used.
When the cable length is more than 50% of allowable,
the 80% tap should be used.
Six-Lead Motors: Wye-Delta starters are used with
six-lead Wye-Delta motors. All Franklin 6" and 8"
three-phase motors are available in six-lead Wye-Delta
construction. Consult the factory for details and availability.
Part winding starters are not compatible with Franklin
Electric submersible motors and should not be used.
Wye-Delta starters of the open-transition type, which
momentarily interrupt power during the starting cycle, are
not recommended. Closed-transition starters have no
interruption of power during the start cycle and can be
used with satisfactory results.
Reduced-voltage starters have adjustable settings
for acceleration ramp time, typically preset at 30
seconds. They must be adjusted so the motor is at
full voltage within THREE SECONDS MAXIMUM to
prevent excessive radial and thrust bearing wear.
If Subtrol-Plus or SubMonitor is used the
acceleration time must be set to TWO SECONDS
MAXIMUM due to the 3 second reaction time of the
Subtrol-Plus or SubMonitor.
Solid-state starters AKA soft starts may not be
compatible with Subtrol-Plus/SubMonitor. However,
in some cases a bypass contactor has been used.
Consult the factory for details.
During shutdown, Franklin Electric’s
recommendation is for the power to be removed,
allowing the pump/motor to coast down. Stopping
the motor by ramping down the voltage is possible,
but should be limited to three (3) seconds maximum.
Inline Booster Pump Systems
Franklin Electric offers three different types of motors for
non-vertical applications.
1. The Booster motors are specifi cally designed for
booster applications. They are the “Best Choice”
for sealed Reverse Osmosis applications.
These motors are the result of two years of focused
development and bring additional value and durability
to booster module systems. These motors are
only available to OEMs or Distributors who have
demonstrated capability in Booster Module systems
design and operation and adhere to Franklin’s
Application Manual requirements.
2. The Hi-Temp motors have many of the internal
design features of the Booster motor. It’s additional
length allows for higher temperature handling and
the Sand Fighter sealing system provides greater
abrasion resistance. One or both of these conditions
35
are often experienced in open atmosphere
applications such as lakes, ponds, etc.
3. The Standard Vertical Water Well (40-125 hp)
motors can be adapted to non-vertical applications
when applied per the below guidelines. However,
they will be more sensitive to application variances
than the other two designs.
All of the above motors must be applied per the
guidelines listed below. In addition, for all applications
where the motor is applied in a sealed system, a
Submersible Motor Booster Installation Record (Form
3655) or its equivalent must be completed at startup and
received by Franklin Electric within 60 days. A sealed
system is one where the motor and pump intake are
mounted in a sleeve and the water feeding the pump
intake is not open to the atmosphere.
Application – Three-Phase Motors
Inline Booster Pump Systems (continued)
Design And Operational Requirements
1. Non-Vertical Operation: Vertical Shaft-up (0°) to
Horizontal (90°) operation is acceptable as long as
the pump transmits “down-thrust” to the motor within
3 seconds after start-up and continuously during
operation. However, it is best practice to provide a
positive slope whenever it is possible, even if it is only
a few degrees.
2. Motor, Sleeve, and Pump Support System: The
booster sleeve ID must be sized according to the
motor cooling and pump NPSHR requirements. The
support system must support the motor’s weight,
prevent motor rotation and keep the motor and pump
aligned. The support system must also allow for
thermal axial expansion of the motor without creating
binding forces.
3. Motor Support Points: A minimum of two support
points are required on the motor. One in the motor/
pump fl ange connection area and one in the bottom
end of the motor area. The motor castings, not the
shell area, are recommended as support points. If the
support is a full length support and/or has bands in
the shell area, they must not restrict heat transfer or
deform the shell.
water must be done by an approved Franklin service
shop or representative using a vacuum fi ll system
per Franklin’s Motor Service Manual instruction. The
motor shell then must be permanently stamped with a
D closely behind the Serial Number.
The maximum pressure that can be applied to the
motor internal components during the removal of the
factory fi ll solution is 7 psi (0.5 bar.)

4. Motor Support Material and Design: The support
system shall not create any areas of cavitation or
other areas of reduced fl ow less than the minimum
rate required by this manual. They should also be
designed to minimize turbulence and vibration and
provide stable alignment. The support materials and
locations must not inhibit the heat transfer away from
the motor.
5. Motor and Pump Alignment: The maximum
allowable misalignment between the motor, pump,
and pump discharge is 0.025 inch per 12 inches of
length (2 mm per 1000 mm of length). This must be
measured in both directions along the assembly using
the motor/pump fl ange connection as the starting
point. The booster sleeve and support system must
be rigid enough to maintain this alignment during
assembly, shipping, operation and maintenance.
6. The best motor lubrication and heat resistance is
obtained with the factory based propylene glycol
fi ll solution. Only when an application MUST HAVE
deionized (DI) water should the factory fi ll solution
be replaced. When a deionized water fi ll is required,
the motor must be derated as indicated on the below
chart. The exchange of the motor fi ll solution to DI
First:Determine maximum Feed Water Temperature
that will be experienced in this application. If the
feed water exceeds the maximum ambient of the
motor, both the DI water derating and a hot water
application derating must be applied.
Second: Determine the Pump Load Multiplier from the
appropriate Service Factor curve. (Typical 1.15
Service Factor is for 60 Hz ratings &1.00 Service
Factor for 50 Hz ratings).
Third: Multiply the Pump Load Requirement times the pump
load multiplier number indicated on the vertical axis
to determine the Minimum Motor Nameplate Rating.
Fourth: Select a motor with a nameplate equal or higher than
the above calculated value.
7. Motor Alterations - Sand Slinger & Check Valve Plug: On 6" and 8" motors, the rubber sand slinger
located on the shaft must be removed. The pipe plug
covering the check valve must be removed from Niresist and 316 SS motors. The special Booster motor
already has these alterations made.
8. Frequency of Starts: Fewer than 10 starts per
24-hour period are recommended. Allow at least 20
minutes between shutdown and start-up of the motor.

Application – Three-Phase Motors
Inline Booster Pump Systems (continued)
9. Controls-Soft Starters and VFDs: Reduced voltage
starters and variable speed drives (inverter drives)
may be used with Franklin three-phase submersible
motors to reduce starting current, upthrust, and
mechanical stress during start-up. The guidelines
for their use with submersible motors are different
than with normal air cooled motor applications.
Refer to the Franklin Electric Application, Installation
and Maintenance (AIM) Manual Reduced Voltage
Starters section or Variable Speed Submersible
Pump Operation, Inverter Drives sections for specifi c
details including required fi ltering.
10. Motor Overload Protection: Submersible motors
require properly sized ambient compensated
Class 10 quick-trip overloads per Franklin’s AIM
Manual guidelines to protect the motor. Class 20
or higher overloads are NOT acceptable. Franklin’s
SubMonitor is strongly recommended for all large
submersibles since it is capable of sensing motor
heat without any additional wiring to the motor.
Applications using Soft Starters with a SubMonitor
require a start-up bypass - consult the factory for
details. SubMonitor can not be used in applications
using a VFD control.
11. Motor Surge Protection: Properly sized, grounded
and dedicated motor surge arrestors must be
installed in the supply line of the booster module as
close to the motor as possible. This is required on
all systems including those using soft-starters and
variable speed drives (inverter drives).
12. Wiring: Franklin’s lead assemblies are only sized
for submerged operation in water to the motor
nameplate maximum ambient temperature and
may overheat and cause failure or serious injury
if operated in air. Any wiring not submerged must
meet applicable national and local wiring codes and
Franklin Cable Chart tables 16-21. (Notice: wire size,
wire rating and insulation temperature rating must be
known when determining its suitability to operate in
air or conduit. Typically, for a given size and rating,
as the insulation temperature rating increases its
ability to operate in air or conduit also increases.)
13. Check Valves: Spring-loaded check valves must
be used on start-up to minimize motor upthrusting,
water hammer, or in multiple booster (parallel)
applications to prevent reverse fl ow.
14. Pressure Relief Valves: A pressure relief valve is
required and must be selected to ensure that, as the
pump approaches shut-off, it never reaches the point
that the motor will not have adequate cooling fl ow
past it.
15. System Purge (Can Flooding): An air bleeder
valve must be installed on the booster sleeve so that
fl ooding may be accomplished prior to booster startup. Once fl ooding is complete, the booster should
be started and brought up to operating pressure as
quickly as possible to minimize the duration of an
upthrust condition. At no time should air be allowed
to gather in the booster sleeve because this will
prevent proper cooling of the motor and permanently
damage it.
16. System Flush – Must Not Spin Pump: Applications
may utilize a low fl ow fl ushing operation. Flow
through the booster sleeve must not spin the pump
impellers and the motor shaft. If spinning takes
place, the bearing system will be permanently
damaged and the motor life shortened. Consult the
booster pump manufacturer for maximum fl ow rate
through the pump when the motor is not energized.

17. Open Atmosphere Booster Pump Systems: When
an open booster is placed in a lake, tank, etc. that is
open to atmospheric pressure, the water level must
provide suffi cient head pressure to allow the pump
to operate above its NPSHR requirement at all times
and all seasons. Adequate inlet pressure must be
provided prior to booster start-up.
Four Continuous Monitoring System Requirements
for Sealed Booster Systems.
1. Water Temperature: Feed water on each
booster must be continuously monitored and
not allowed to exceed the motor nameplate
maximum ambient temperature at any time. IF
THE INLET TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS THE
MOTOR NAMEPLATE MAXIMUM AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE, THE SYSTEM MUST
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT
PERMANENT MOTOR DAMAGE. If feed water
temperatures are expected to be above the
allowable temperature, the motor must be derated.
See Franklin’s AIM Manual Hot Water Applications
section for derating guidelines. (The high
temperature feed water derating is in addition to the
exchange to DI water derating if the motor factory fi ll
solution was exchanged to DI water.)
2. Inlet Pressure: The inlet pressure on each booster
module must be continuously monitored. It must
always be positive and higher than the NPSHR (Net
Positive Suction Head Requirement) of the pump.
A minimum of 20 PSIG (1.38 Bar) is required at all
times, except for 10 seconds or less when the motor
is starting and the system is coming up to pressure.
Even during these 10 seconds the pressure must
remain positive and be higher than the NPSHR (Net
Positive Suction Head Requirement) of the pump.
PSIG is the actual value displayed on a pressure
gauge in the system piping. PSIG is the pressure
above the atmospheric conditions. If at any time
these pressure requirements are not being met, the
motor must be de-energized immediately to prevent
permanent damage to the motor. Once the motor is
damaged, it is usually not immediately noticeable,
but progresses and results in a premature motor
failure weeks or months after the damage occurred.
Motors that will be exposed to pressure in excess
of 500 psi (34.47 Bar) must undergo special high
pressure testing. Consult factory for details
and availability.
3. Discharge Flow: The fl ow rate for each pump must
not be allowed to drop below the motor minimum
cooling fl ow requirement. IF THE MOTOR MINIMUM
COOLING FLOW REQUIREMENT IS NOT BEING
MET FOR MORE THAN 10 SECONDS, THE
SYSTEM MUST BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY
TO PREVENT PERMANENT MOTOR DAMAGE.
4. Discharge Pressure: The discharge pressure
must be monitored to ensure that a downthrust load
toward the motor is present within 3 seconds after
start-up and continuously during operation.
IF THE MOTOR DISCHARGE PRESSURE IS NOT
ADEQUATE TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT, THE
SYSTEM MUST BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY
TO PREVENT PERMANENT MOTOR DAMAGE.
Franklin three-phase submersible motors are operable
from variable frequency inverter drives when applied
within guidelines below. These guidelines are based
on present Franklin information for inverter drives, lab
tests and actual installations, and must be followed
for warranty to apply. Franklin two-wire and three-wire
single-phase submersible motors are not recommended
for variable speed operation.
WARNING: There is a potential shock hazard from
contact with insulated cables from a PWM drive to
the motor. This hazard is due to high frequency
voltage content of a PWM drive output.
Load Capability: Pump load should not exceed
motor nameplate service factor amps at rated voltage
and frequency.
Frequency Range: Continuous between 30 Hz and
rated frequency (50 or 60 Hz). Operations above rated
frequency require special considerations, consult factory
for details.
Volts/Hz: Use motor nameplate volts and frequency
for the drive base settings. Many drives have means to
increase effi ciency at reduced pump speeds by lowering
motor voltage. This is the preferred operating mode.
Voltage Rise-time or dV/dt: Limit the peak voltage to
the motor to 1000 V and keep the rise-time greater than
2 µsec. Alternately stated: keep dV/dt < 500 V/µsec. See
Filters or Reactors below.
Motor Current Limits: Load no higher than motor
nameplate service factor amps. For 50 Hz ratings,
nameplate maximum amps are rated amps. See
Overload Protection below.
Motor Overload Protection: Protection in the drive
(or separately furnished) must be set to trip within 10
seconds at 5 times motor maximum nameplate amps in
any line, and ultimately trip within 115% of nameplate
maximum amps in any line.
Start and Stop: One second maximum ramp-up and
ramp-down times between stopped and 30 Hz Stopping
by coast-down is preferable.
Successive Starts: Allow 60 seconds before restarting.
Filters or Reactors: Required if all three of the following
conditions are met: (1) Voltage is 380 or greater and
(2) Drive uses IGBT or BJT switches (rise-times < 2
µsec) and (3) Cable from drive to motor is more than
50 ft (15.2 m) A low-pass fi lter is preferable. Filters or
reactors should be selected in conjunction with the drive
manufacturer and must be specifi cally designed for
VFD operation.
Cable Lengths: Per Franklin’s cable tables unless a
reactor is used. If a long cable is used with a reactor,
additional voltage drop will occur between the VFD and
the motor. To compensate, set the VFD output voltage
higher than the motor rating in proportion to the reactor
impedance (102% voltage for 2% impedance, etc.).
Motor Cooling Flow: For installations that are
variable-fl ow, variable-pressure, minimum fl ow rates
must be maintained at nameplate frequency. In variablefl ow, constant pressure installations, minimum fl ow
rates must be maintained at the lowest fl ow condition.
Franklin’s minimum fl ow requirements for 4" motors :
0.25 ft/s (7.26 cm/sec) and for 6" and 8" motors: 0.5 ft/s
(15.24 cm/sec)
Carrier Frequency: Applicable to PWM drives only.
These drives often allow selection of the carrier
frequency. Use a carrier frequency at the low end of the
available range.
Miscellaneous: Franklin Electric three-phase motors
are not declared “Inverter Duty” motors per NEMA MG1
standards. The reason is Part 31 of NEMA standard
MG1 does not include a section covering encapsulated
winding designs. However, Franklin submersible motors
can be used with VFDs without problems and/or warranty
concerns provided these guidelines are followed.
Subtrol-Plus and SubMonitor: Franklin’s Subtrol-Plus
and SubMonitor protection systems ARE NOT USABLE
on VFD installations.

Submersible Leads and Cables
A common question is why motor leads are smaller than
specifi ed in Franklin’s cable charts.
The leads are considered a part of the motor and actually
are a connection between the large supply wire and the
motor winding. The motor leads are short and there is
virtually no voltage drop across the lead.
In addition, the lead assemblies operate under water,
while at least part of the supply cable must operate in air. Lead assemblies running under water operate cooler.
41
CAUTION: Lead assemblies on submersible motors
are suitable only for use in water and may overheat
and cause failure if operated in air.

1. Open master breaker and disconnect all leads from control
box or pressure switch (QD type control, remove lid) to
avoid electric shock hazard and damage to the meter.
2. Use a megohmmeter or set the scale lever to R X 100K
on an Ohmmeter. Zero the meter.
3. Connect one meter lead to any one of the motor leads
and the other lead to the metal drop pipe. If the drop pipe is
plastic, connect the meter lead to ground.
1. Open master breaker and disconnect all leads from control
box or pressure switch (QD type control, remove lid) to
avoid electric shock hazard and damage to the meter.
2. Set the scale lever to R X 1 for values under 10 ohms.
For values over 10 ohms, set the scale lever to R X 10.
“Zero” the Ohmmeter.
3. On 3-wire motors measure the resistance of yellow to black
(Main winding) and yellow to red (Start winding).
On 2-wire motors: measure the resistance from line-to-line.
Three-phase motors: measure the resistance line-to-line
for all three combinations.
1. If the ohms value is normal (table 45), the motor is
not grounded and the cable insulation is not damaged.
2. If the ohms value is below normal, either the windings
are grounded or the cable insulation is damaged.
Check the cable at the well seal as the insulation is
sometimes damaged by being pinched.
1. If all ohms values are normal (tables 13, 22, 24 & 26), the
motor windings are neither shorted nor open, and the
cable colors are correct
2. If any one value is less than normal, the motor
is shorted.
3. If any one ohm value is greater than normal, the
winding or the cable is open, or there is a poor cable
joint or connection.
4. If some ohms values are greater than normal and some
less on single-phase motors, the leads are mixed. See
page 46 to verify cable colors.

The table above is based on readings taken with a megohm meter with a 500 VDC output. Readings may vary using a lower
voltage Ohmmeter, consult Franklin Electric if readings are in question.
Resistance of Drop Cable (ohms)
200,000,000 (or more)
10,000,000 (or more)
2,000,000 (or more)
500,000 - 2,000,000
Less than 500,000
200.0 (or more)
10.0 (or more)
2.0 (or more)
0.50 - 2.0
Less than .50
The values below are for copper conductors. If aluminum
conductor drop cable is used, the resistance will be
higher. To determine the actual resistance of the
aluminum drop cable, divide the ohm readings from this
chart by 0.61. This chart shows total resistance of cable
from control to motor and back.
Winding Resistance Measuring
The winding resistance measured at the motor should
fall within the values in tables 13, 22, 24 & 26. When
measured through the drop cable, the resistance of
the drop cable must be subtracted from the Ohmmeter
readings to get the winding resistance of the motor. See
table below.
Table 45A DC Resistance in ohms per 100 ft of Wire (Two conductors) @ 50 °F
Identifi cation Of Cables When Color Code Is Unknown (Single-Phase 3-Wire Units)
If the colors on the individual drop cables cannot be
found with an Ohmmeter, measure:
Cable 1 to Cable 2
Cable 2 to Cable 3
Cable 3 to Cable 1
Find the highest resistance reading.
The lead not used in the highest reading is the
yellow lead.
Use the yellow lead and each of the other two leads to
get two readings:
Highest is the red lead.
Lowest is the black lead.

Checking and Repairing Procedures (Power On)
WARNING: Power must be on for these tests. Do not
touch any live parts.
A. VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS
Step 1. Motor Off
1. Measure voltage at L1 and L2 of pressure switch
or line contactor.
2. Voltage Reading: Should be ± 10% of
motor rating.
Step 2. Motor Running
1. Measure voltage at load side of pressure switch
or line contactor with pump running.
2. Voltage Reading: Should remain the same except
for slight dip on starting. Excessive voltage
drop can be caused by loose connections, bad
contacts, ground faults, or inadequate
power supply.
3. Relay chatter is caused by low voltage or
ground faults.
EXAMPLE:
The Ohmmeter readings were:
Cable 1 to Cable 2—6 ohms
Cable 2 to Cable 3—2 ohms
Cable 3 to Cable 1— 4 ohms
The lead not used in the highest reading (6 ohms) was
Cable 3—Yellow
From the yellow lead, the highest reading (4 ohms) was
To Cable 1—Red
From the yellow lead, the lowest reading (2 ohms) was
To Cable 2—Black
B. CURRENT (AMP) MEASUREMENTS
1. Measure current on all motor leads.
2. Amp Reading: Current in red lead should
momentarily be high, then drop within one second
to values in table 13. This verifi es relay or solid
state relay operation. Current in black and yellow
leads should not exceed values in table 13.
3. Relay or switch failures will cause red lead
current to remain high and overload tripping.
4. Open run capacitor(s) will cause amps to be
higher than normal in the black and yellow motor
leads and lower than normal in the red
motor lead.
5. A bound pump will cause locked rotor amps and
overloading tripping.
6. Low amps may be caused by pump running at
shutoff, worn pump, or stripped splines.
7. Failed start capacitor or open switch/relay are
indicated if the red lead current is not
momentarily high at starting.
CAUTION: The tests in this manual for components such as capacitors, relays, and QD switches should be
regarded as indicative and not as conclusive. For example, a capacitor may test good (not open, not shorted) but
may have lost some of its capacitance and may no longer be able to perform its function.
To verify proper operation of QD switches or relays, refer to operational test procedure described above
in Section B-2.

CAUTION: The tests in this manual for components such as capacitors, relays, and QD switches should be regarded as
indicative and not as conclusive. For example, a capacitor may test good (not open, not shorted) but may have lost some
of its capacitance and may no longer be able to perform its function.
To verify proper operation of QD switches or relays, refer to operational test procedure described on page 46, Section B-2.
NOTE 1: Control boxes supplied with QD Relays are
designed to operate on 230 volt systems. For 208 volt
systems or where line voltage is between 200 volts and
210 volts use the next larger cable size, or use a boost
transformer to raise the voltage.
NOTE 2: Voltage relays kits for 115 volts (305102901)
and 230 volts (305102902) will replace current, voltage
or QD Relays, and solid state switches.

FOOTNOTES:
(1) Lightning arrestors 150 814 902 are suitable for all control boxes.
(2) S = Start, M = Main, L = Line, R = Run
Deluxe = Control box with line contactor.
(3) For 208-volt systems or where line voltage is between 200 V and 210 V, a low voltage relay is required. On 3 hp
and smaller control boxes use relay part 155 031 103 in place of 155 031 102 and use the next larger cable size
than specifi ed in the 230 V table. On 5 hp and larger use relay 155 031 602 in place of 155 031 601 and next
larger wire. Boost transformers per page 15 are an alternative to special relays and cable.
(4) Control box model 282 300 8610 is designed for use with motors having internal overload protectors. If used with a
1.5 hp motor manufactured prior to date code 06H18, Overload/Capacitor Kit 305 388 901 is required.

Pumptec-Plus
Pumptec-Plus is a pump/motor protection device designed to work on any 230 V single-phase induction motor (PSC,
CSCR, CSIR, and split phase) ranging in size from 1/2 to 5 horsepower. Pumptec-Plus uses a micro-computer to
continuously monitor motor power and line voltage to provide protection against dry well, water logged tank, high and
low voltage and mud or sand clogging.

Check wiring. Power supply voltage should be applied to L1 and L2 terminals of the
Pumptec-Plus. In some installations the pressure switch or other control devices is wired
to the input of the Pumptec-Plus. Make sure this switch is closed.
Pumptec-Plus is calibrated at the factory so that it will overload on most pump systems
when the unit is fi rst installed. This overload condition is a reminder that the PumptecPlus unit requires calibration before use. See step 7 of the installation instructions.
Pumptec-Plus should be calibrated on a full recovery well with the maximum water fl ow.
Flow restrictors are not recommended.
Step C of the calibration instructions indicate that a fl ashing green light condition will
occur 2 to 3 seconds after taking the SNAPSHOT of the motor load. On some two wire
motors the yellow light will fl ash instead of the green light. Press and release the reset
button. The green should start fl ashing.
During the installation of Pumptec-Plus power may be switched on and off several times.
If power is cycled more than four times within a minute Pumptec-Plus will trip on rapid
cycle. Press and release the reset button to restart the unit.
A bobbing fl oat switch may cause the unit to detect a rapid cycle condition on any motor
or an overload condition on two wire motors. Try to reduce water splashing or use a
different switch.
The line voltage is over 253 volts. Check line voltage. Report high line voltage to the
power company.
If you are using a generator the line voltage may become too high when the generator
unloads. Pumptec-Plus will not allow the motor to turn on again until the line voltage
returns to normal. Over voltage trips will also occur if line frequency drops too far
below 60 Hz.

Solid Red Light
Low Line VoltageThe line voltage is below 207 volts. Check line voltage.
Loose ConnectionsCheck for loose connections which may cause voltage drops.

loads. Pumptec-Plus will trip on undervoltage if the generator voltage drops below 207
volts for more than 2.5 seconds. Undervoltage trips will also occur if the line frequency
rises too far above 60 Hz.

The most common cause for the rapid cycle condition is a waterlogged tank. Check for a
ruptured bladder in the water tank. Check the air volume control or snifter valve for proper
operation. Check setting on the pressure switch and examine for defects.
Press and release the reset button to restart the unit. A bobbing fl oat switch may cause the
unit to detect a rapid cycle condition on any motor or an overload condition on 2-wire
motors. Try to reduce water splashing or use a different switch.

QD Pumptec and Pumptec
QD Pumptec and Pumptec are load sensing devices that monitor the load on submersible pumps/motors. If the load
drops below a preset level for a minimum of 4 seconds the QD Pumptec or the Pumptec will shut off the motor.
The QD Pumptec is designed and calibrated expressly for use on Franklin Electric 230 V 3-wire motors (1/3 to 1 hp.)
The QD Pumptec must be installed in QD relay boxes.
The Pumptec is designed for use on Franklin Electric 2- and 3-wire motors (1/3 to 1.5 hp) 115 and 230 V. The Pumptec
is not designed for jet pumps.
QD Pumptec & Pumptec – Troubleshooting
SYMPTOMCHECKS OR SOLUTION
A. Is the voltage less than 90% of nameplate rating?
B. Are the pump and motor correctly matched?
If the QD Pumptec or Pumptec trips in about
4 seconds with some water delivery.
If the QD Pumptec or Pumptec trips in about
4 seconds with no water delivery.
C. Is the QD Pumptec or Pumptec wired correctly? For the Pumptec check the wiring
diagram and pay special attention to the positioning of the power lead
(230 V or 115 V).
D. For QD Pumptec is your system 230 V 60 Hz or 220 V 50 Hz?
A. The pump may be airlocked. If there ia a check valve on top of the pump, put another
section of pipe between the pump and the check valve.
B. The pump may be out of water.
C. Check the valve settings. The pump may be dead-heading.
D. Pump or motor shaft may be broken.
E. Motor overload may be tripped. Check the motor current (amperage).
If the QD Pumptec or Pumptec will not timeout
and reset.
If your pump/motor will not run at all.
If your QD Pumptec or Pumptec will not trip
when the pump breaks suction.
If your QD Pumptec or Pumptec chatters
when running.
A. Check switch position on side of circuit board on Pumptec. QD Pumptec check timer
position on top/front of unit. Make sure the switch is not between settings.
B. If the reset time switch is set to manual reset (position 0), QD Pumptec and Pumptec
will not reset (turn power off for 5 sec then back on to reset).
A. Check voltage.
B. Check wiring.
C. Remove the QD Pumptec from the control box. Reconnect wires in box to original
state. If motor does not run the problem is not QD Pumptec. Bypass Pumptec by
connecting L2 and motor lead with jumper. Motor should run. If not, the problem is
not Pumptec.
D. On Pumptec only check that Pumptec is installed between the control switch and
the motor.
A. Be sure you have a Franklin motor.
B. Check wiring connections. On Pumptec is lead power (230 V or 115 V) connected to
correct terminal? Is motor lead connected to correct terminal?
C. Check for ground fault in the motor and excessive friction in the pump.
D. The well may be “gulping” enough water to keep QD Pumptec or Pumptec from
tripping. It may be necessary to adjust the QD Pumptec or the Pumptec for these
extreme applications. Call the Franklin Electric Service Hotline at 800-348-2420
for information.
E. On Pumptec applications does the control box have a run capacitor? If so, Pumptec
will not trip. (Except for Franklin 1.5 hp motors).
A. Check for low voltage.
B. Check for waterlogged tank. Rapid cycling for any reason can cause the QD Pumptec
or the Pumptec relay to chatter.
C. On Pumptec make sure the L2 and motor wires are installed correctly. If they are
reversed, the unit can chatter.

SubDrive75, 150, 300, MonoDrive, & MonoDrive XT
The Franklin Electric SubDrive/MonoDrive Constant Pressure controller is a variable-speed drive that delivers water
at a constant pressure.
WARNING: Serious or fatal electrical shock may result from failure to connect the motor, SubDrive/MonoDrive
Controller, metal plumbing and all other metal near the motor or cable to the power supply ground terminal using
wire no smaller than motor cable wires. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on
or around the water system. Capacitors inside the SubDrive/MonoDrive Controller can still hold a lethal voltage even
after power has been removed. Allow 10 minutes for dangerous internal voltage to discharge. Do not use motor in
swimming areas.
SubDrive/MonoDrive Troubleshooting
Should an application or system problem occur, a built-in diagnostics will protect the system. The “FAULT” light on the
front of the SubDrive/MonoDrive Controller will fl ash a given number of times indicating the nature of the fault. In some

Subtrol-Plus - Troubleshooting After Installation
SYMPTOMPOSSIBLE CAUSE OR SOLUTION
Subtrol-Plus Dead
Green Off Time
Light Flashes
Green Off Time
Light On
Overheat Light On
Overload Light On
Underload Light On
When the Subtrol-Plus reset button is depressed and released, all indicator lights should fl ash. If line voltage is
correct at the Subtrol-Plus L1, L2, L3 terminals and the reset button does not cause lights to fl ash, Subtrol-Plus
receiver is malfunctioning.
The green light will fl ash and not allow operation unless both sensor coils are plugged into the receiver. If both are
properly connected and it still fl ashes, the sensor coil or the receiver is faulty. An Ohmmeter check between the two
center terminals of each sensor coil connected should read less than 1 ohm, or coil is faulty. If both coils check good,
receiver is faulty.
The green light is on and the Subtrol-Plus requires the specifi ed off time before the pump can be restarted after
having been turned off. If the green light is on except as described, the receiver is faulty. Note that a power
interruption when the motor is running will initiate the delay function.
This is a normal protective function which turns off the pump when the motor reaches maximum safe temperatures.
Check that amps are within the nameplate maximum on all three lines, and that the motor has proper water fl ow past
it. If overheat trip occurs without apparent motor overheating, it may be the result of an arcing connection somewhere
in the circuit or extreme noise interference on the power lines. Check with the power company or Franklin Electric.
A true motor overheat trip will require at least fi ve minutes for a motor started cold. If trips do not conform to this
characteristic, suspect arcing connections, power line noise, ground fault, or SCR variable speed control equipment.
This is a normal protective function, protecting against an overload or locked pump. Check the amps in all lines
through a complete pumping cycle, and monitor whether low or unbalanced voltage may be causing high amps at
particular times. If overload trip occurs without high amps, it may be caused by a faulty rating insert, receiver, or
sensor coil. Recheck that the insert rating matches the motor. If it is correct, carefully remove it from the receiver by
alternately lifting sides with a knife blade or thin screwdriver, and make sure it has no pins bent over. If the insert is
correct and its pins are okay, replace receiver and/or sensor coils.
This is a normal protective function.
A. Make sure the rating insert is correct for the motor.
B. Adjusting the underload setting as described to allow the desired range of operating conditions. Note that a
DECREASE in underload setting is required to allow loading without trip.
C. Check for drop in amps and delivery just before trip, indicating pump breaking suction, and for unbalanced
line current.
D. With the power turned off, recheck motor lead resistance to ground. A grounded lead can cause underload trip.

Subtrol-Plus - Troubleshooting After Installation (Continued)
SYMPTOMPOSSIBLE CAUSE OR SOLUTION
Whenever the pump is off as a result of Subtrol-Plus protective function, the red tripped light is on.
Tripped Light On
A steady light indicates the Subtrol-Plus will automatically allow the pump to restart as described,
and a fl ashing light indicates repeated trips, requiring manual reset before the pump can be restarted.
Any other red light operation indicates a faulty receiver. One-half voltage on 460 V will cause tripped
light on.

With power turned off, check for a shorted contactor coil or a grounded control circuit lead. The
coil resistance should be at least 10 ohms and the circuit resistance to panel frame over 1 megohm.
A standard or delay-type 2 amp fuse should be used.
If proper voltage is at the control coil terminals when controls are operated to turn the pump on, but
the contactor does not close, turn off power and replace the coil. If there is no voltage at the coil,
trace the control circuit to determine if the fault is in the Subtrol-Plus receiver, fuse, wiring, or panel
operating switches. This tracing can be done by fi rst connecting a voltmeter at the coil terminals,
and then moving the meter connections step by step along each circuit to the power source, to
determine at which component the voltage is lost.
With the Subtrol-Plus receiver powered up, with all leads disconnected from the control terminals
and with an Ohmmeter set at RX10, measure the resistance between the control terminals. It should
measure 100 to 400 ohms. Depress and hold in the reset button. The resistance between the
control terminals should measure close to infi nity.
Check that coil voltage is within 10% of rated voltage. If voltage is correct and matches line voltage,
turn off power and remove the contactor magnetic assembly and check for wear, corrosion, and dirt.
If voltage is erratic or lower than line voltage, trace the control circuit for faults similar to the previous
item, but looking for a major drop in voltage rather than its complete loss.
Check that the small interlocks switch on the side of the contactor closes when the contactor
closes. If the switch or circuit is open, the contactor will not stay closed when the selector switch
is in HAND position.
Turn off power. Check the contactor contacts for dirt, corrosion, and proper closing when the
contactor is closed by hand.
With the Subtrol-Plus receiver powered up and all leads disconnected from the Signal
terminals, with an Ohmmeter set at RX10, measure the resistance between the Signal
terminals. Resistance should measure close to infi nite. Depress and hold in the reset button.
The resistance between the Signal terminals should measure 100 to 400 ohms.
