PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
The Franklin Electric SubDrive Connect product family includes variable frequency drives (VFD) designed to
control and protect 3-wire, single- or three-phase motors, enhancing pump performance for residential and
light commercial water system applications. When used with Franklin Electric motors, the SubDrive Connect
drives a motor and pump at variable speeds to maintain constant water pressure, even as user demands
(water flow) change.
The SubDrive Connect series provides the capability to use a three-phase
motor with single-phase incoming power, which adds new efficiency and
quiet performance to rural homes and businesses.
