Nameplate Data

Explanation

Model Number

The manufacturer’s number to indicate the particular type of product which

has been acquired.

Serial Number

A set of characters that uniquely identifies a single unit and can be used for

traceability and warranty purposes.

Station Voltage

The rated voltage at which the station has been designed for. Should match the

application site supply voltage.

System FLA

The full-load-amperage at which the station can operate.

SCCR

“Short-Circuit Current Rating”. Represents the maximum level of short-circuit

current that a component or assembly can withstand.

Largest Motor HP

The rated HP for the largest Pump in the system.

Station Flow

The designed duty point, in GPM, LPH, etc.

Suction Pressure

The line pressure on the input side of the pump station.

Discharge Pressure The line pressure on the output side of the pump station.

Pump Boost

The difference between the input side of the pump station and the output side

of the pump station.

Date Code

Marking of products to indicate their date of manufacture.

3.4 Main parts and functions

3.4.0 Input voltage

The VFD and AquaForce Pump Controller can be set up to operate across a broad range of voltages. It was

factory set to operate on the voltage shown on the nameplate. Check the VFD nameplate for the proper input

and output voltages before wiring the VFD.
The voltage tolerance is +10/-5% and phase to phase voltage must not have an imbalance greater than 5 VAC.

3.4.1 Ground connections

A grounding terminal is provided for a dedicated ground wire connection. All provisions of the National Electrical

Code and local codes must be followed.
WARNING:

• Conduit grounds are not adequate. A separate ground wire must be attached to the ground lug provided in

the enclosure to avoid potential safety hazards.

3.4.2 Power wiring

Power wire types and sizes must be selected based upon conformance with the National Electrical Code and all

local codes and restrictions. In addition, only copper (Cu) wire rated for 75°C (minimum) may be used for the

power connections. Refer to the input current as listed on the nameplate affixed to the enclosure door when

sizing wire.

3.4.3 Output/motor disconnect

It is necessary that any device which can disconnect the motor from the output of the VFD be interlocked to the

emergency shutdown circuits of the VFD. This will provide an orderly shutdown if the disconnecting device is

open circuited while the VFD is in operation. Failure to provide this interlock may result in damaged components

due to improper installation.

CAUTION:

• Metal filings can create electrical short circuits. Do not drill, saw, file or perform any operation

on the VFD conduit entry plate while attached to the VFD.
