Maximum motor current
The maximum motor current depends on the motor properties and electrical installation. According to IEC 60364-5-52:2009 the installation and
cable must be dimensioned for a current that is higher than the maximum motor current.
Maximum recommended voltage drop
•
According to IEC 60364-5-52:2009 for installation in domestic applications, the maximum recommended voltage drop is 5 % for cable
lengths up to 100 m.
•
For installation in industrial applications and in regions where the IEC standard is not applicable, local regulations may require that a
different maximum value for voltage drop must be used for the calculation of the maximum cable length.
Specific resistance of the drop cables
The specific resistance of the drop cables supplied by Grundfos for SQ, SQE and SQF pumps is 0.02 Ω mm
Maximum cable lengths for Grundfos MSF 3 motors
Calculation of maximum cable length for the different motor sizes is based on a voltage drop of 5 % and a supply voltage of 240 V.
If the calculation above cannot be used, go to Grundfos Product Center for sizing.
Grundfos can supply submersible drop cables for any type of installation. Please contact Grundfos for more information.
