    Why is my Franklin Electric DC Drives showing undervoltage?
    • J
      Jesse MitchellAug 9, 2025
      If your Franklin Electric DC Drives system shows undervoltage, it could be due to several reasons. First, the line voltage might be too low, less than approximately 150 VAC (normal operating range is 190 to 260 VAC). Also, check for misconnected input leads or loose connections at the breaker or panel. To resolve this, check and correct the incoming power connections, ensuring they are tight. You may also need to check the circuit breaker or fuses, and if the voltage is still incorrect, contact your power company.

    What to do if Franklin Electric DC Drives show overcurrent or locked pump?

      Cynthia WatsonSep 12, 2025
      If your Franklin Electric DC Drives system is experiencing overcurrent or the pump is locked, it could be due to motor or pump misalignment, dragging, or being completely locked. Abrasives in the pump or excessive motor cable length can also cause this. Amperage may be above SFL at 30 Hz. To address this, remove and repair or replace the affected components as needed. Also, reduce the motor cable length, adhering to the Maximum Motor Cable Length table.

    How to troubleshoot motor underload on Franklin Electric DC Drives?

      James ChavezNov 27, 2025
      If your Franklin Electric DC Drives motor is underloaded, several factors could be at play. The well might be over-pumped, or there could be a broken shaft or coupling. A blocked screen, worn pump, air/gas locked pump, or incorrect SubDrive settings for the pump end could also be the cause. Additionally, the Underload Sensitivity setting might be incorrect, with the frequency near maximum but the load less than the configured underload sensitivity. The system might be drawing down to the pump inlet (out of water). If it's a high static, light loading pump, reset the Potentiometer for less sensitivity if not out of water. Check the pump rotation (SubDrive only) and reconnect if necessary for proper rotation. For an air/gas locked pump, if possible, set it deeper in the well to reduce air/ga...
