Product catalog summary
Overview of DrivE-Tech VFD
The DrivE-Tech Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is designed to optimize, control, and protect pumping systems across various applications such as domestic, commercial, irrigation, and industrial settings. It offers benefits like reduced energy consumption, extended system life, and enhanced reliability.

Key Features
  • Compact design compatible with most market pumps.
  • Motor protection and monitoring including overload and dry running protection.
  • Integrated soft start/stop functions to extend system life.
  • Capability to control multiple pumps and connect with other DrivE-Tech units for combined operations.
  • Sturdy die-cast aluminum enclosure with IP55 protection, suitable for humid and dusty environments.

Installation and Configuration
DrivE-Tech can be installed on motor fan covers or walls using dedicated kits. It supports easy configuration through user-friendly software, with three setting levels: End user, Installer, and Advanced. The system maintains constant pressure by adjusting pump speed based on demand.

Control Modes and Safety Features
  • Constant pressure control with smaller pressure tanks.
  • Electronic features tailored for pumps, including minimum motor frequency and dry running signals.
  • Multiple control modes: fixed frequency, constant flow, and constant temperature.
  • Pressure alarms to prevent system damage.

Technical Specifications
  • Power frequency: 50 - 60 Hz.
  • Max ambient temperature: 40°C.
  • Max altitude: 1000 m.
  • Protection grade: IP55 (Size 1, 2), IP54 (Size 3).
  • RS485 serial communication.

Performance Chart
The document includes a detailed performance chart listing various DrivE-Tech models, input/output voltages, current ratings, and typical motor power.

EASY CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE When first powering the DrivE-Tech, an initial configuration is required for the complete setup of the drive. Additional parameters can be configured later by entering three different setting levels: End user level The only level which can be accessed without password. It allows the user to monitor electrical and hydraulic parameters and status of the DrivE-Tech and pump. Installer level In this level , the installer can configure the DrivE-Tech - pump system to the characteristics of the hydraulic system. An entry password is required. Advanced level This level allows...

ELECTRONIC TAILORED FOR PUMPS Minimum motor frequency This parameter prevents the pump from running lower below a certain speed, avoiding the risk of damaging the thrust bearing in submersible pumps. Minimum motor frequency ramp To prevent motor damage, the motor can accelerate quickly to reach the minimum motor frequency , and then is allowed to follow a lower start-up ramp. Stop function at zero water flow After reaching the minimum frequency at zero flow (Fmin Q=0) DrivE-Tech progressively slows the pump while monitoring the signal from the pressure transducer. If the pressure is close to...
