I'm referring to my old thread184-20314 related to the above mentioned subject.

Actually the use of Variable speed fire pump controllers has been approved by NFPA 20 – 2003. you may refer to the following clause.

10.5.5 Variable Speed Pressure Limiting Control. Variable speed fire pump controllers shall be permitted provided that the following apply:

(1) Upon failure of the variable speed pressure limiting control, the pump operates at rated speed.
(2) The variable speed pressure limiting control is listed for fire service.
