Fitting the cable plug to the motor should be fully developed and bailed or blown free of cuttings and sand. Fitting the cable guard The construction of the Grundfos SQ/SQE submersi- Piping bles makes them resistant to abrasion; however, no Installing the pump pump made of any material can forever withstand the 10.1...
Maximum The submersible motors are factory-filled with a spe- past the motor liquid temperature cial Grundfos motor liquid, type SML 2, which will pro- 0.0 f/s tect the motor liquid down to 4°F (–20°C) and prevent 86°F (30°C) (free convection) the growth of bacteria.
The supply voltage, rated maximum current and power factor (PF) appear on the motor nameplate. Pump and motor The required voltage for Grundfos submersible MS 3/MSE 3 motors, measured at the motor termi- nals, is –10%/+6% of the nominal voltage during con- tinuous operation (including variation in the supply voltage and losses in cables).
8. Fitting the cable guard 9. Piping To fit the cable guard, proceed as follows: • The pump should only be gripped by the two flats at the top of the pump, see fig. 9. 1. Make sure that the motor lead lies flat in the cable guard.
10. Installing the pump 5. When the pump has been installed to the required depth, the installation should be finished by means of a well seal. 10.1 Installation depth Note that the dynamic water level should always The dynamic water level should always be above the be above the pump.
12.3 Minimum flow rate The Grundfos Service Manual is available on request. To ensure the necessary cooling of the motor, the The pumps can be serviced at a Grundfos service cen- pump flow rate should never be set to a value lower ter.
13. Assembly of pump and motor To assemble pump end and motor, proceed as fol- lows: 1. Place the motor horizontally in a vice and tighten it, see fig. 12. 2. Pull the pump shaft out to the position shown in fig.
14. Troubleshooting Fault Cause Remedy 1. The pump does a) The fuses are blown. Replace the blown fuses. If the new fuses not run. blow too, check the electrical installation and the drop cable. b) The GFI circuit breaker has tripped. Reset the circuit breaker.
Liquid temperature The temperature of the pumped liquid must not ex- ceed 104°F. Note: If liquids with a viscosity higher than that of water are to be pumped, please contact Grundfos. Discharge port 5 SQ/SQE: 1" NPT. 10-15 SQ/SQE: 1¼" NPT.
