technicians and in compliance with

the regulations in force.

Piping checklist

• Pipes and valves must be correctly sized.

• Pipe work must not transmit any load or torque

to pump flanges.

For illustration that shows the piping requirements,

see

Figure 5

.

4.2 Electrical requirements

• The local regulations in force overrule these

specified requirements. In the case of fire fight-

ing systems (hydrants and/or sprinklers), check

the local regulations
in force
.

Electrical connection checklist
Check that the following requirements are met:

• The electrical leads are protected from high

temperature, vibrations, and collisions.

• The power supply line is provided with:

• A short-circuit protection device

• A high-sensitivity differential switch (30 mA)

[residual current device RCD] to provide

more protection against electric shock.

• A mains isolator switch with a contact gap of

at least 3 mm

The electrical control panel checklist

NOTICE:
The control panel must match the ratings of the

electric pump. Improper combinations could fail to

guarantee the protection of the motor.

Check that the following requirements are met:

• The control panel must protect the motor

against overload and short-circuit.

• Install the correct overload protection (thermal

relay or motor protector).

Pump Type

Protection

Single phase standard

electric pump ≤

2.2 kW

• Built-in automatic

reset thermal-am-

perometric protec-

tion (motor protec-

tor)

• Short circuit pro-

tection (must be

supplied by the in-

staller)

Three-phase electric

pump

4

• Thermal protection

(must be supplied

by the installer)

• Short circuit pro-

tection (must be

supplied by the in-

staller)

• The control panel must be equipped with a dry-

running protection system to which a pressure

switch, float switch, sensors, or other suitable

device is connected.

• The following devices are recommended for

use on the suction side of the pump:

• When the liquid is pumped from a water sys-

tem, use a pressure switch.

• When the liquid is pumped from a storage

tank or reservoir, use a float switch or sen-

sors.

• When thermal relays are used, relays that are

sensitive to phase failure are recommended.

The motor checklist
Use cable according to rules with 3 leads (2+earth/

ground) for single phase versions and with 4 leads

(3+earth/ground) for three-phase version.

4.3 Install the pump

4.3.1 Install the pump on a concrete
foundation

For information about how to install the pump, see

Figure 5

.

1. Piping support

2. On-off valve

3. Flexible pipe or joint

4. Check valve

5. Control panel

6. Do not install elbows close to the pump

7. Bypass circuit

8. Eccentric reducer

9. Use wide bends

10. Positive gradient

11. Piping with equal or greater diameter than the

suction port

12. Use foot valve

13. Do not exceed maximum height difference

14. Ensure adequate submersion depth

1. Anchor the pump onto the concrete or equiva-

lent metal structure.

• If the liquid temperature exceeds 50°C, the

unit must be anchored only by the motor

bracket side and not also by the side of the

inlet supporting bracket

• If the transmission of vibrations can be dis-

turbing, then provide vibration-damping

supports between the pump and the foun-

dation.

2. Remove the plugs covering the ports.
3. Assemble the pipe to the pump threaded con-

nections.
Do not force the piping into place.

4.3.2 Electrical installation

Precautions

Electrical Hazard:

• Make sure that all connections are

performed by qualified installation

technicians and in compliance with

the regulations in force.

• Before starting work on the unit,

make sure that the unit and the con-

3

fuses aM (motor starting), or magneto-thermal switch with curve C and Icn ≥ 4.5 kA or other equivalent device

4

Overload thermal relay with operation class 10 A + fuses aM (motor starting) or motor protection magneto-thermal
switch with operation class 10 A.
