SubMonitor Three-Phase Protection

Applications

SubMonitor is designed to protect 3-phase pumps/ motors with service factor amp (SFA) ratings 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.

Protects Against

  • Under/Overload
  • Under/Overvoltage
  • Current Unbalance
  • Overheated Motor (if equiped with Subtrol Heat Sensor)
  • False Start (Chattering)
  • Phase Reversal

  
 

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 overload relay, or overload protection will be lost.
