Make sure that the electrical installation supports the rated
current [A] of the product. See the product's nameplate.
4.3.1 Motor protection
The pump incorporates current- and temperature-dependent motor
protection. If the pump is running without water, is blocked or
otherwise overloaded, the built-in thermal switch will cut out. When
the motor has cooled sufficiently, it will restart automatically.
No external motor protection is required.
