LARGE DRIVES
& CONTROLS
Intelligent solutions for pumping applications
REVOLUTIONARY ACROSS THE LINE CONTROLS
A rugged 3R enclosure, Tru-power™ monitoring, fault logging, and
built-in protection are a few of the features that set the IPS apart.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL IS JUST THE BEGINNING
The P-drive is loaded with pump specific features: Application
selectable firmware, dry well and broken pipe detection, pipe
fill, and more.
RELIABILITY COMES STANDARD
Start and operate in the harshest conditions without worry.
Compare IPS protection
to any other pump starter!
The World’s Most Intelligent
Pump Protection Starter

50/60 Hz, 1Ø & 3Ø, 200~600 VAC, 1–250 hp
Superior Motor Protection
Adjustable over/under voltage and ground fault protection are included.
Plus you get phase unbalance, loss, anti-cycling, phase sequence, and
warm start protection. Our overload is wide range – so you never have
the wrong sized heaters.
Easy Setup and Use
Inside, the display shows an easy-to-use menu for setting a wealth of
parameters. Adjust any protective or control settings in seconds. All this
with just a few intuitive keystrokes. The IPS ships with factory default
settings pre-programmed for optimal submersible pump protection.

Tru-power™ Sensing for Superior Motor & Pump Protection
Our Tru-power™ sensing protects pumps from dry pump, dead head,
runout and jammed impeller conditions – keeping you online and
preventing costly premature pump failure. There is no need for any
external pump protective relays – many rely only on current to measure
loading which often results in false trips.
• Molded Case Circuit Breaker service disconnect provides
short circuit protection.

• Internal keypad allows easy parameter adjustments and LCD
display shows phase voltage, current, settings, and faults.
• 200~480 VAC multi-tap CPT with integrated protection – no fuses required.
Standard 120 VAC secondary control.
Expand the IPS’s Capabilities
With our Ethernet Option Board, log up to 100 date/time stamped events and use a
standard ethernet cable to download data directly to a laptop. Capture useful event
information to track utility power integrity on long runs and account for
true consumption.
Built-in Power Monitoring for Easy Troubleshooting
View voltage, current, power factor, and more through an intuitive display. Quickly
identify common power problems such as phase unbalance, voltage drop, and over/
undercurrent conditions to ensure proper pump operation.
• Optional data/fault logging with accurate date and time stamping.
Record up to 100 events.
