<strong>ePAC</strong> <strong>II</strong> <strong>Variable</strong> <strong>Speed</strong> <strong>Drive</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Progressing</strong> <strong>Cavity</strong> <strong>Pumping</strong>The critical challenge in optimizing progressing cavity pumping (PCP)wells is to match the rotational speed of the pump to the varyingproduction capacity of the well while protecting the system frommechanical damage. Conventional variable speed drives (VSDs) cannotdeliver full torque at low speeds resulting in inefficient production andstalled wells.Precision control of both speed and torque in allapplications and well conditions.What is needed is infinitely variable speedcontrol with controlled torque throughoutthe speed range.Weather<strong>for</strong>d meets this need with the<strong>ePAC</strong> <strong>II</strong> PCP controller providing precisiontorque and speed control.Features• Limits rod torque• PCP specific firmware• Reduces power consumption• Minimizes equipment wear• maximum torque from zeroto base speed• High speed operation up to300 Hz• Downhole pump protection• Gauge option controls lowfluid level without pumpoff• Reduces backspin time• Flexible configuration• Simple operation and setup<strong>Drive</strong> reliability requires the proper enclosure to protect the sensitiveelectronics from <strong>for</strong>eign material as well as extreme temperaturevariations. The <strong>ePAC</strong> <strong>II</strong> unit uses an engineered package with throughholemounting of the amplifier heat sink to both reduce the heat and theoverall size of the cabinet.The enclosure layout provides additional room <strong>for</strong> optional internalcomponents while Type 3R protection and electric door interlocksenhance the safety of the package.Data Protection• <strong>Drive</strong> keypad can archive and store the drive parameters in theevent you need to transfer the in<strong>for</strong>mation to another drive or reloadthe values• PC interface software allows you to transfer drive parameters to PC<strong>for</strong> storage and reference• Multilevel password protection allows critical drive parameters to beaccessible only with a passwordCost Savings• Underspeed detection protects the system in case of a stall conditionsuch as a stuck pump• Dual motor capability allows large PCPs to be operated by a single drive• User torque limit protects against downhole breakage• Energy saving feature minimizes power use• Auto restart minimizes downtime2 © 2008 Weather<strong>for</strong>d.
