The dedicated low-voltage variable frequency drive (VFD) for ESPs is specifically engineered for submersible pump frequency conversion applications. Designed to address the unique load characteristics of ESP systems, this series adopts a two-level inverter + output sine wave filter architecture combined with a high-performance V/f control algorithm, ensuring stable and reliable operation of ESP units under variable-frequency drive conditions. Control system software helps you reduce power and downtime costs while optimizing production.
To meet diverse user requirements, the drive incorporates specialized startup, control, and protection functions tailored for challenging well conditions, including:
● Sandy wells with difficult startup due to sediment accumulation
● Gassy wells experiencing significant load fluctuations
● Heavy oil wells with high-viscosity fluid loads
These enhancements ensure superior adaptability when paired with ESP systems in complex downhole environments.
