6.6 Operation
ATTENTION !
Never let the pump run dry, however briefly.
- Recheck the electrical connections, the electrical protection, and
the rating(s) of the fuse(s).
- Measure the current on each phase and compare with the nomi-
nal values marked on the data plate.
- Do not exceed the current rating of the motor.
- Measure the supply voltage with the motor running.
Acceptable tolerance : ± 6 %, in 50 Hz, ± 10 % in 60Hz.
- Drive all air out of the discharge tube to avoid a ram effect when
starting.
Ambient temperatures
Submersible motors are designed to run at nominal power at a maxi-
mum water temperture of 40°C. the circulation speed along the
motor must be at least 8 cm/s for 3" motor to ensure an adequate
cooling.
When use at high water temperature, the load must be reduced in

b) Electrodes incorrectly placed.
c) The bladder vessel is too small or is
insufficiently pressurized.
CAUSE
a) Check the voltage during starting; if the cable cross-section is too small,
b) Measure the resistance between phases. Refit the pump if necessary

Do not use motors in ambient temperatures exceeding 50°C.
The freezing point of the motor filling is -15°C.

REMEDIAL ACTION
the voltage drop may be such that the motor cannot function normally.

Important : do not insist if the relay trips out repeatedly (try to locate
the cause); forced operation of the unit could damage the motor (by
overheating) in a very short time (about a minute).

Check the pressure in the vessel.
Add a vessel to increase capacity or change to a larger vessel.
