Intelligent pump protection with the Smart Control Box (SCB)

The Smart Control Box (SCB) from Franklin Electric is the intelligent solution for reliable operation and comprehensive protection of singlephase and three-phase submersible and surface pumps.

Designed for demanding applications in water supply, pressure boosting, irrigation, sewage and wastewater, the SCB combines versatile protection functions with modern technology and robust design.

Your advantages at a glance:

• Reliable protection: Integrated protection functions such as sensorless dry-running detection, overload, under- and overvoltage protection, phase failure and direction of rotation detection ensure maximum operational reliability.
• Flexible control: Whether via level or pressure switches, level probes or time control – the SCB adapts to your application.
• Intuitive operation: Dynamic LCD display, easy switching between operating modes and automatic pump calibration
• Robust & durable: With an IP65-rated housing, a temperature range of -25 °C to +55 °C and wall mounting, the SCB is designed for use in the harshest conditions. Easy installation: Removable plug-in terminals and cable lengths of up to 1000 m for sensor connections facilitate integration into existing systems.

• Easy installation: Removable plug-in terminals and cable lengths of up to 1000 m for sensor connections facilitate integration into existing systems.

Change of Powder Coating Color from RAL 5002 to RAL 5003

As part of a product standardization initiative, all external cast iron components will now be coated in Franklin Electric’s standard blue color RAL 5003.

This change applies to all rewindable motors with cast iron components in sizes 8" to 12". The transition will take place with the date code end of September / beginning of October 2025.

The technical characteristics of the products remain unchanged.

For further information, please contact your local Franklin Electric representative.

Franklin Electric offers PT100 temperature sensor kits optimized for 6", 8", 10" and 12" rewindable motors.

■ New design covers the complete range of standard and Permanent magnet rewindable motors.
■ 4-wire shielded cable for VFD operation and enhanced protection against high-frequency distortion
■ Easy installation due to redesigned sensor shape.
■ Accurate motor temperature reading for demanding applications
■ Available in various cable lengths and in higher graded materials (316SS / 904L)

Design changes: 

For motors with factory fitted PT100 sensors, any remaining stock will be temporarily used up.

Same price, enhanced performances.
We are pleased to announce the upgrade to the COVERCO 4“ NBS4 High-Thrust rewindable oilfilled motors in the 2.2 kW rated power.
All 2.2kW motors, single and three phase, will feature an increased axial thrust capability of 4500 N, replacing the previous 2500 N rating.
This technical improvement is part of our ongoing commitment to product development, and it comes with no change to pricing or commercial conditions.

■ Greater mechanical robustness for demanding applications
■ Same dimensions and installation compatibility
■ No change in price

To reflect this improvement, part numbers will be updated accordingly:

The NBS4 of 2.2 kW with 2500 N thrust bearing will be discontinued and replaced by the new
4500 N version in the upcoming months.
For any additional information or clarification, please contact your Franklin Electric representative.

The latest version of our FE Connect® mobile app now features One-to-One™ allowing users to remotely connect to a CERUS X-Drive or give access to either the Franklin Electric’s technical support team or internal experts for live over-the-air support.

The new One-to-One™ feature allows for easy and fast support by having a trusted technical service engineer by your side to assist you with programming or troubleshooting your system in real-time.

Take advantage of FE Connect’s One-to-One™ feature:

• Remote control and monitoring
• Setup, commissioning and troubleshooting in real-time
• Improved productive work flows and efficient support – fast, convenient and fully secure
• Two sharing modes for access: Handoff: Full control and real-time programming, View Only: Users can read-only
• Log files with connection recording and comprehensive details of changes

With using the One-to-One™ remote feature on the CERUS X-Drive, it is no longer necessary to describe each parameter by phone and the overall time during commissioning is significantly reduced.

As a result of extensive laboratory and subsequent field tests, we are now also approving the PPC insulated winding wire for variable frequency drive operation and for the use in ambient conditions up to 50 °C for all PPC-wound Franklin Electric motors*.

Continuous development and innovation is part of our company vision. At the same time, we place the highest priority on the Franklin Electric quality standard and absolute reliability of our products.

After we released the PPC insulation material as the standard winding wire for all rewindable motors in September 2023 following extensive production, laboratory, and field evaluations with various materials, we then started the next intensive testing phase. All laboratory and subsequent field evaluations were passed with excellent results and clearly demonstrated the superior insulation properties and suitability of the winding wire. Of course, the minimum requirements according to the operating regulations must still be complied with.

• Excellent insulation properties

• Outstanding results in intense laboratory and field tests

• Optimized availability and therefore faster process times

With this step, we are now also meeting the constantly growing demand for a technically suitable yet economical motor solution for frequency-controlled submersible motors.  The change applies from motor date code 25F (June 2025). 

(*except motors approved for ambient temperatures up to 45 °C)

Of course, the high-quality radiation-crosslinked PE2/PA winding will continue to be an integral part of our portfolio and will also be installed as standard in all synchronous and 12" rewindable motors. Motors with special windings are also still available in PE2/PA.
