4.2 Verify Voltage and Turn

Supply Power Off

Insure that your motor voltage and

power supply voltage are the same.
Place the circuit breaker or discon-

nect switch in the OFF position to

prevent accidentally starting the

pump before you are ready.
Three-phase starter coils are very

voltage sensitive; always verify actual

supply voltage with a voltmeter.
High or low voltage, greater than

±10%, will damage motors and

controls and is not covered under

warranty.

4.3 Connecting Motor Leads

to Motor Control Box,

Pressure Switch or

Starter

Caution Do not power the

unit or run the pump until

all electrical and plumbing

connections are completed.

Verify that the disconnect

or breaker is OFF before

connecting the pressure switch line

leads to the power supply. Follow

all local and national codes. Use a

disconnect where required by code.
A. Three-Wire Single Phase Motor

Connect the color coded motor leads

to the motor control box terminals

- Y (yellow), R (red), and B (black);

and the Green or bare wire to the

green ground screw.
Connect wires between the Load

terminals on the pressure switch

and control box terminals L1 and

L2. Run a ground wire between the

switch ground and the control box

ground. See Figure 4 or 5.
B. Two-Wire Single Phase Motor

Connect the black motor leads to the

Load terminals on the pressure switch

and the green or bare ground wire

to the green ground screw. CentriPro

2-wire motors will not work with

Franklin Electric PumpTec. Use a

PumpSaver. See Figure 3.
C. Three phase motors

Connect the motor leads to T1, T2,

and T3 on the 3 phase starter. Con-

nect the ground wire to the ground

screw in the starter box. Follow

starter manufacturers instructions

for connecting pressure switch or

see Figure 6.

4.4 Connect To

Power Supply

Complete the wiring by

making the connection

from the single phase pres-

sure switch Line terminals

to the circuit breaker panel

or disconnect where used.
Three phase - make the connections

between L1, L2, L3, and ground on

the starter to the disconnect switch

and then to the circuit breaker panel.
Three phase installations must be

checked for motor rotation and

phase unbalance. To reverse motor

rotation, switch (reverse) any two

leads. See the instructions for check-

ing three phase unbalance in section

4.6. Failure to check phase unbalance

can cause premature motor failure

and nuisance overload tripping. If

using a generator, see Technical Data

for generators.

4.5 Three Phase Overload

Protection

Use only Class 10, quick-trip over-

load protection on three-phase

submersible motors. See Definite

Purpose Starters in this manual.
Call the pump manufacturer’s

Customer Service group for selection

assistance.
