WARNING:
Do not install the starter equipment in an explosive zone unless it is explosion-proof rated.
CAUTION:
If the pump is equipped with automatic level control and/or internal contactor, there is a
risk of sudden restart.
Requirements
These general requirements apply for electrical installation:
• The supply authority must be notified before installing the pump if it will be connected
to the public mains. When the pump is connected to the public power supply, it may
cause flickering of incandescent lamps when started.
• The mains voltage and frequency must agree with the specifications on the data plate.
If the pump can be connected to different voltages, then the connected voltage is
specified by a yellow sticker close to the cable entry.
• The fuses and circuit breakers must have the proper rating, and the pump overload
protection (motor protection breaker) must be connected and set to the rated current
according to the data plate and if applicable the cable chart. The starting current in
direct-on-line start can be up to six times higher than the rated current.
• The fuse rating and the cables must be in accordance with the local rules and
regulations.
• If intermittent operation is prescribed, then the pump must be provided with
monitoring equipment supporting such operation.
• If stated on the data plate, then the motor is convertible between different voltages.
• The thermal contacts/thermistors must be in use.
• For FM-approved pumps, a leakage sensor must be connected and in use in order to
meet approval requirements.
Cables
These are the requirements to follow when you install cables:
• The cables must be in good condition, not have any sharp bends, and not be pinched.
• The sheathing must not be damaged and must not have indentations or be embossed
(with markings, etc.) at the cable entry.
• The cable entry seal sleeve and washers must conform to the outside diameter of the
cable.
• The minimum bending radius must not be below the accepted value.
• If using a cable which has been used before, a short piece must be peeled off when
refitting it so that the cable entry seal sleeve does not close around the cable at the
same point again. If the outer sheath of the cable is damaged, then replace the cable.
Contact a local sales and service representative.
• The voltage drop in long cables must be taken into account. The drive unit’s rated
voltage is the voltage measured at the cable connection point in the pump.
