2-wire single phase motors from Franklin Electric have a BIAC starting switch that provides reverse impact torque to aid starting in harsh conditions. There is more info below on this feature.
The 2-wire motors are plug and pump, no control / starter box is required.

2 wire single phase motors from Franklin Electric have a split phase motor with built-in starting components. These motors have an automatic reset overload and surge protectors. The Franklin 2-wire motor is designed for direct connection to single-phase power supply with no need for a control box. The advantages of this motor design are the ease of installation along with the unique ‘reverse impact torque’.
A 2-wire (3 core) submersible electrical drop cable is used with this motor. Each motor comes with approx. 1 meter of cable. This cable is to be spliced (joined) to your cable. The join will be submersed in water so make sure this is done by a certified electrician to ensure it is waterproof.
The motor protection device for the 2-wire Franklin Motors is the PUMPTEC IR or the PUMPTEC PLUS. These must be purchased separately.
It is always recommended to use a bore pump in clean water. However, this unique torque reversing feature will minimize the problems that may occur if running in dirty water. In a locked rotor condition, the BIAC switch will supply full start winding current for approximately one second. Then the switch begins to open and close rapidly. This action chops the start winding current, switching it between leading and lagging the run winding current. This produces impact torque in both forward and reverse directions. This reverse impact torque will shake and loosen many obstructions. Once cleared, the motor will run in proper rotation.
When the motor is not free to turn, as with a sand locked pump, the BIAC switch creates a ‘reverse impact torque’ as described above. This is a unique feature particularly interesting in sandy environments or applications where long stand still periods are to be expected (seasonal usage of water).
Fast service and freight backed up with great tech support all made easy. Thanks Marion for your help.
I bought a Franklin 6 inch bore pump and it was dispatched the following day. Too easy!!! Love the service. (purchased a Franklin Electric 6 six inch bore pump). Thanks Jake
Thanks Marion for your prompt action on my order. The pump motor arrived within a week and the bore is back in service. (purchased a Franklin Electric 4″ submersible motor)
Thank you Marion for your assistance in choosing the right bore pump for my needs. Your estimation of pressure with respect to type of sprinklers was spot on. A good service.
Thank you for your assistance in processing our order over the weekend. The pond pump arrived and was left at our door when we woke at 6.30 am today. Fantastic service. Much appreciated.
Thank you for your outstanding fast and friendly service. I highly recommend StrongmanPumps for easy ordering, great pricing and super fast delivery. I wouldn’t hesitate to order from you again in future.
Easy purchase and very impressive turn around between order and delivery. Thank you. (purchased a Franklin Electric submersible motor)
Marion went above and beyond my expectations in listening to my needs and tailoring a solution for me. Amazing customer service and great product thankyou. (purchased a household pressure pump). Cheers Nick
