Franklin Electric - Fhoton SolarPak Submersible Bore Pump Kit | 30FDSP

Fhoton™ Drive provides water to remote locations by converting high voltage, direct current from a solar array into alternating current to run a standard AC submersible motor. The controller provides fault detection, motor soft start, and speed control. The Fhoton™ Drive is designed to provide these features with the plug and play ease of installation similar to a single-phase control box.

The controller drives the pump and motor to deliver water even under adverse conditions, reducing output as necessary to protect the system components from damage, and only shutting down in extreme cases. Full operation is restored automatically whenever abnormal conditions subside.

Features:

• High-flow system for faster tank-fill and significant water output
• Proven motor and pump technology for long-term reliability
• Robust IP66, NEMA 4X enclosure minimises impact from wildlife, insects, dust, and weather
• Optimised for use with DC solar array
• Operating status and fault conditions indicated by multi-color LED
• Terminals provided for an optional data communications board
• Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for maximising efficiency of input power
• Soft-start feature prevents water hammer and increases system life
• Allows use of new solar array or retrofit o existing array (subject to size and performance check)
• Simple installation with no required maintenance
• Built-in diagnostics and protection
•  cULus,UL and CE approved
