AutoDRIVE: The VFD That Makes Your Life Easier

AutoDRIVE: The VFD That Makes Your Life Easier

For decades, submersible pumps have been considered one of the most popular types of pumps used for private well systems in the U.S. This solution is efficient on its own but the addition of a variable frequency drive (VFD) adds consistency and energy savings to the application at hand. While the presence of such technology comes with so many advantages, that doesn’t mean the drive itself is user friendly. A.Y. McDonald addresses this industry pain point by introducing a drive that makes VFDs easy, known as the AutoDRIVE.

Easy to select, easy to install, and easy to set up. The AutoDRIVE allows the submersible pump and motor to provide constant pressure in well applications. This innovative solution also provides energy savings and allows for use of a smaller pressure tank. An additional benefit is the protection of the well pumping system. Read more about the AutoDRIVE’s features below:

• Residential and light commercial applications
• Constant pressure – reduced tank size, quick and simple installation
• Easy setup
• Large graphic display
• Custom flexibility
• Rugged and compact
• NEMA 3R enclosure with insect guards
• 122ºF temperature rating
• Dry well protection
• Mounting hardware included

The AutoDRIVE is available in single phase (115V/230V; 1/3 to 2HP; 2-wire and 3-wire motors) and three phase (230V; 2HP, 3 HP, and 5 HP). The drive itself is lightweight, consists of a rugged steel construction, is field serviceable, and contains a backlit screen and intuitive interface. Set up constant pressure in five steps or less while also having the option to customize complete control capabilities for all pumping applications.
