VFD choice for vertical water pump

VFD choice for vertical water pump

VFD choice for vertical water pump

(OP)
I would like to thank this site and all that contribute.

I am working with a pump company at our company installing 2 vertical water pumps.  The motors will be 100hp, 480v & 150hp, 480v.  I have a choice for the VFD's: AB Power Flex 400 or the Eaton Cutler Hammer SVX9000.  I have used the AP Power Flex 70 Drives and older AB VFD's but neither of the 2 offered.  Anyone have any comments or information that would help in my decision?   

RE: VFD choice for vertical water pump

Post that question to this forum, Electrical Motors, Generators & Controls
http://www.eng-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=237

Come back here if you need advice on whether you should use one or not, or when it doesn't work.
