FE PETRO® 2 Hp Submersible Pumps
Fixed speed and variable speed 4" pumps, with the MagShell® option for extra flow

Overview
The 2 Hp FE PETRO is the most flexible pump in the 4" range because it is made in both fixed speed and variable speed form. It suits busy retail grades: in variable speed form a 2 Hp pump holds a constant 10 gpm (38 lpm) at up to eight fuelling positions running at once.
Fixed speed models use a multi-stage pump at 2875 rpm on 50 Hz. The 200B is single-phase on 200-250 VAC with a 440 V, 40 microfarad capacitor, and the 200C is three-phase on 380-415 VAC. The standard three-stage version reaches 2.55 bar and the high-pressure four-stage version 3.03 bar; on 60 Hz the M200 gives 36 psi and the HM200 45 psi.
Variable speed VS2 models are two-stage pumps driven only by a variable frequency controller, the MagVFC on single-phase or the EcoVFC on three-phase. Operating pressure is selectable between 1.65 and 2.90 bar deadhead, maximum flow is 416 lpm (110 gpm), and control is based on motor power, so no pressure transducer or special wiring is needed. On both versions the stainless steel MagShell option enlarges the motor shell and increases the flow area around it by 45%, which Franklin compares to having one more nozzle open at peak times. IST models build in alcohol-gasoline compatibility. Apex supplies, installs and services 2 Hp pumps.

Questions
FE PETRO® 2 Hp Submersible Pumps: common questions
- How many nozzles can a 2 Hp variable speed pump supply?
- Franklin rates the 2 Hp variable speed pump for a constant 10 gpm (38 lpm) at up to eight fuelling positions operating at the same time.
- What does MagShell do?
- It is a stainless steel, expanded pump motor shell that increases the flow area around the motor by 45%, raising the flow rate the pump can deliver.
- Which controller drives the variable speed 2 Hp?
- A MagVFC with single-phase 200-250 VAC supply, or an EcoVFC with three-phase 360-440 VAC supply.
