Franklin Electric 5800000000 Motor Controller Low Yield Well

Product Description

The FRANKLIN ELECTRIC 5800000000 is a Pumptec motor controller designed to protect submersible well pumps from damage caused by low-yield well conditions. It monitors pump motor performance and shuts the motor down when abnormal operating conditions are detected, helping prevent dry-run burnout. Rated for motors from 1/3 HP to 1.5 HP and compatible with both 115-volt and 230-volt single-phase power at 50 or 60 Hz, this controller fits a range of residential and light commercial well pump installations. Licensed pump contractors and well system installers are the primary trades that work with this device.

This controller is suited for low-yield well applications where the water supply may not consistently keep pace with pump demand. When drawdown outpaces recharge rate, the risk of the pump running dry rises significantly. The 5800000000 addresses that risk by detecting the resulting motor stress and cycling the pump off before damage occurs. It is appropriate for residential water systems, rural properties, and any site where a submersible pump serves a well with limited recovery rate.

Key Features

• Protects pump motors from damage caused by dry-run and low-yield well conditions
• Compatible with 1/3 HP to 1.5 HP single-phase submersible motors
• Dual-voltage input accepts 115-volt or 230-volt AC power
• Operates on 50 Hz or 60 Hz supply frequency
• Automatic shutdown response to abnormal motor operating conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade controller for single-phase submersible well pump motors rated from 1/3 HP to 1.5 HP operating on 115-volt or 230-volt AC supply in low-yield well installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pump contractor or qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and local codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the pump circuit before wiring or replacing the controller. Verify supply voltage matches the controller input range before energizing. Do not energize the controller without confirming all wiring connections are secure and correctly terminated.
