Application – Three-Phase Motors
All Franklin three-phase submersible motors are suitable
for full-voltage starting. Under this condition the motor
speed goes from zero to full speed within a half second
or less. The motor current goes from zero to locked rotor
amps, then drops to running amps at full speed. This
may dim lights, cause momentary voltage dips
to other electrical equipment, and shock power
distribution transformers.

amps, then drops to running amps at full speed. This
may dim lights, cause momentary voltage dips

In some cases the power companies may require
reduced-voltage starters to limit this voltage dip. There
are also times when reduced-voltage starters may be
desirable to reduce motor starting torque thus reducing
the stress on shafts, couplings, and discharge piping.
Reduced-voltage starters also slow the rapid acceleration
of the water on start-up to help control upthrust and
water hammer.

Reduced-voltage starters may not be required if the
maximum recommended cable length is used. With
maximum recommended cable length there is a 5%
voltage drop in the cable at running amps, resulting in
about 20% reduction in starting current and about 36%
reduction in starting torque compared to having rated
voltage at the motor. This may be enough reduction in
starting current so that reduced-voltage starters are
not required.

Three-Lead Motors: Autotransformer or solid-state
reduced-voltage starters may be used for soft-starting
standard three-phase motors.
reduced-voltage starters may be used for soft-starting

When autotransformer starters are used, the motor
should be supplied with at least 55% of rated voltage to
ensure adequate starting torque. Most autotransformer
starters have 65% and 80% taps. Setting the taps on
these starters depends on the percentage of the

these starters depends on the percentage of the

If the cable length is less than 50% of the maximum
allowable, either the 65% or the 80% taps may be used.
When the cable length is more than 50% of allowable,
the 80% tap should be used.

Six-Lead Motors: Wye-Delta starters are used with
six-lead Wye-Delta motors. All Franklin 6" and 8"
three-phase motors are available in six-lead Wye-Delta
construction. Consult the factory for details and availability.
Part winding starters are not compatible with Franklin
Electric submersible motors and should not be used.

Wye-Delta starters of the open-transition type, which
momentarily interrupt power during the starting cycle, are
not recommended. Closed-transition starters have no
interruption of power during the start cycle and can be
used with satisfactory results.

Reduced-voltage starters have adjustable settings
for acceleration ramp time, typically preset at 30
seconds. They must be adjusted so the motor is at
full voltage within THREE SECONDS MAXIMUM to
prevent excessive radial and thrust bearing wear.

If Subtrol-Plus or SubMonitor is used the
acceleration time must be set to TWO SECONDS
MAXIMUM due to the 3 second reaction time of the

in some cases a bypass contactor has been used.

During shutdown, Franklin Electric’s
recommendation is for the power to be removed,
allowing the pump/motor to coast down. Stopping
the motor by ramping down the voltage is possible,
but should be limited to three (3) seconds maximum.

Franklin Electric offers three different types of motors for
non-vertical applications.
non-vertical applications.
1. The
Booster motors are specifi cally designed for
booster applications. They are the “Best Choice”
for sealed Reverse Osmosis applications.
These motors are the result of two years of focused
development and bring additional value and durability
to booster module systems. These motors are
only available to OEMs or Distributors who have
demonstrated capability in Booster Module systems
design and operation and adhere to Franklin’s
Application Manual requirements.

3. The
Standard Vertical Water Well (40-125 hp)
motors can be adapted to non-vertical applications
when applied per the below guidelines. However,
they will be more sensitive to application variances
than the other two designs.

All of the above motors must be applied per the
guidelines listed below. In addition, for all applications
where the motor is applied in a sealed system, a
Submersible Motor Booster Installation Record (Form
3655) or its equivalent must be completed at startup and
received by Franklin Electric within 60 days. A sealed
system is one where the motor and pump intake are
mounted in a sleeve and the water feeding the pump
intake is not open to the atmosphere.
