S-Drive Variable Speed Pump Controller
A variable speed pump controller made specifically for submersible pump water well applications. Comes complete with pressure transducer and load filter for up to 1,000 feet of motor lead. Standard NEMA 3R outdoor rated enclosure.
Features and Benefits
Easy Set-up
Pre-set for submersible motor characteristics. Pre-wired and tested transducer. Touch button pressure setting. No complicated menus or electrical jargon to cope with. Total set up time including wiring is less than 30 minutes. NEMA 3R
Goulds S-Drive
Outdoor rated enclosure eliminates the need for separate cover panels required by standard NEMA 1 enclosures.
Dual Phase
The same drive can be used for either three phase or single phase input (de-rated). Both configurations are UL/CUL approved for inventory flexibility.
Filter Pack
The S-Drive comes complete with output filter rated to 1000 feet of motor lead. It is ready to go without having to source and install components from other sources. Programming is also pre-set to 35 Hz minimum to protect motor bearing lubrication required by some motor manufacturers.
True Motor Match
The S-Drive is already rated for the higher amps typical of higher HP submersible pump start-up. There is no need to oversize the drive.
Transducer
As with all Goulds drives, the pressure transducer is included with the drive so there is no need for separate sourcing and compatibility checks. The transducer is pre-wired and tested.
Full Diagnostics
In addition to typical electrical protection and diagnostics, the S-Drive has a full range of pump protection features such as bound pump or motor shut down, low water or loss of prime shut down. These added features require no added input devices.
Program Security
The flashing LED status indicator will not fade in outdoor use the way LCD screens do, and the internal single push button discourages tampering by untrained operating or maintenance personnel.
Remote on/off
Permits external control by timers (irrigation), float or pressure switches (tank draining) or manual control. Reduces the need for separate patch panels.
Hand/Auto Option
Allows the drive to be run full speed for longer periods of time as in the case of new well development or system start up. Turning the control back to auto resumes the automatic pressure tracking and control.
Remote Monitoring
External monitors may be connected to the drive for pump running speed (Hz), pump on, and system fault. The fault indicator can also be connected to devices like an auto-dialer. This enables control of pumps and drives in un-manned locations.
Pressure Drop
The reaction time of the drive to pressure drops can be adjusted from the typical 3-5 PSI drop to as much as 20 PSI. This allows for smoother transitions and fewer starts when using a supply tank.
Dual Set Point
The S-Drive has the capability to be programmed with two pressure set points. An external contact such as a timer can be used to change between them, so that a booster pump serving both a building and an irrigation system can do both jobs without manual resets.
Applications
Submersible water pumps serving commercial buildings.
Ground water fed irrigation systems
Rural water and municipal systems
