S-Drive™

The S-Drive was specifically designed for use with the higher amp ratings of Submersible pumps. However the S-Drive can be used for multiple applications and comes with the versatility of having one controller for either single or three phase power supply.  The S-Drive is the commercial Variable Speed designed for outdoor usage, external monitor timing, and with full range of pump protection features such as bound pump or motor shutdown, low water or loss of prime shut down.Up to 70% energy savings over fixed speed pumps are common.

Features and Benefits

• Energy Saving → The S-Drive is a true variable frequency controller which adjusts motor speed to match the hydraulic needs of the system to maintain pressure. Unlike valve controlled systems, the energy draw is substantially reduced during lower flow while keeping the pump close to its best efficiency.
• Easy Set-up → Pre-set for submersible or surface motor characteristics. Pre-wired and tested transducer. Touch button pressure setting. No complicated menus or electrical programming to cope with. Total set up time including wiring is less than 30 minutes.
• NEMA 3R → Outdoor rated enclosure eliminates the need for separate cover panels required by competitive standard NEMA 1 enclosures. Operating temperature -22º F to 122º F!
• Dual Phase Input → The drives are UL listed for both three phase and single phase input (de-rated).
• 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 30 Hz minimum to maintain motor bearing lubrication required by some motor manufacturers.
• True Motor Match → The S-Drive is already rated for the higher amp requirements typical of submersible pumps on start-up. There is no need to oversize the drive! A 10 HP S-Drive will run a 10 HP submersible pump!
• 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, with internal case grounding!
• 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 features require no additional input devices.
• Program Security → The flashing LED status indicator will not fade in outdoor use the way competitors LCD screens often do, and the internal push buttons discourage tampering by untrained operating or maintenance personnel. The enclosure can be locked and tagged to prevent unauthorized entry.
