PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
The Franklin Electric SubDrive Utility UT3P is a variable frequency drive (VFD) designed to control and pro-
tect 3-wire, single-phase 230V motors, and 3-phase 230V motors, enhancing pump performance for resi-
dential and light commercial water system applications. When used with Franklin Electric motors ranging
from ½ to 2 HP, the UT3P drives a pump - motor assembly at variable speeds to maintain constant water
pressure, even as user demands (water flow) change.
The drive is designed to convert a conventional pump system to a variable speed
constant pressure system by simply replacing the pressure switch and control box.
Features
Configuration
• Compatible with submersible and surface pumps
• No programming required with easy DIP switch setup
• Pressure sensor or transducer for water control
• Works with small pressure tanks or existing larger tanks
Operation
• Three LED indicators for system status and troubleshooting
• 30 Hz - 60 Hz for 3-Phase submersible; 15 Hz - 60 Hz for 3-Phase surface;
30 Hz - 63 Hz for 3-Wire (submersible only)
• Accessory filtering available to remove AM radio frequency interference
Protection
• Protection against short circuit, under-load, overload, overheat, under-voltage, over-voltage, surges,
open circuit, mis-wired 3-wire motor, and pressure sensor fault
• Phase imbalance for 3-phase motors
• Broken-pipe detection
• User-defined under-load sensitivity
• Soft-start feature prevents water hammer and increases motor life
Communication
• USB port allows for easy firmware updates and easy Fault Log and Event Log downloads
