6.5. Earth connection
DANGER:
· Always connect the external protection wire to the ground (earth
connection) before making any other electric connections.
· The whole electric equipment must be connected to earth. This applies
to the pump, the motor and any other protection equipment. Run a test
to verify that the earth connection is correctly connected.
· If the motor's power cable gets disconnected accidentally, the earth lead
should be the last one to get disconnected from its connection.
Make sure that the earth lead is longer that the phase leads. This is also
applicable to the two ends of motor's power leads.

6.7. Single phase connection
The electric connections of single phase motors, like those for three phase motors, are
done on the motor terminals located at the motor's connection box. The size of the
connections box for single phase motors is noticeable bigger than that for three phase
motors, since it contains a capacitor.
