PT100 Sensor Re-Design – for Franklin Electric Submersible Motors

 Franklin Electric is pleased to announce the release of the redesigned PT100 temperature sensor for use with 6" to 12" submersible motors.

 The new PT100 temperature sensor is equipped with a 4-wire shielded supply cable, available in various lengths, adding additional protection against high frequency disturbances which can occur in applications with variable frequency drives.

The enclosed adaptor screw only needed for installation in 6" and 8" encapsulated standard and permanent magnet motors is now separated from the PT100 sensor allowing for an easy, quick and secure installation.

New kit part numbers for 6" – 12" rewindable motors will be released soon.

Features of the new design:

• easy, quick and secure installation
• a shielded cable (can be installed close to the motor cable)
• quick and easy to replace

PT100 sensor retrofit kits from Franklin Electric come with complete instructions and allow for easy field installation.
