.4.- Electrical connections.
Qualified staff should make electrical connections.
Before making the motor connections, check that the electrical parts on which you are
going to work are not connected to the power supply.
The ground cables (yellow/green) should be connected to the ground circuit of the
system before connecting up the other conductors.
The figures show the proper connection for the case of direct starting and three-phase line with 230 volts
and 400 volts mains voltage.
Y/ STARTING . Remove the bridge plates from the terminal box and connect the motor terminals to the
corresponding ones on the starter.
Supply voltage
TAKE CARE Check that the values for the voltage and frequency of the supply mains coincide with
the ones indicated on the motor characteristics plate, depending on whether this is star
or delta connection.
9.- RUNNING, STARTING AND STOPPING
The operation of centrifugal pumps as APM is a simple and safe matter. Pump should not be
used for any purpose other than the one it was prepared for. If the conditions in the installation have
varied, Bombas Ideal S.A. or one of its technical services should be informed, in order to determine what
changes might be required to adapt to the new requirements.
9.1.- Starting up.
Before starting up the following points should be taken into account:
1. Check the proper priming of the pump and pipelines, as the fluid should overflow the system to
ensure that all the air has been vented, especially any contained in the suction piping.
2. The packing should be properly placed and gently tightened.
3. Check that the shaft turns easily with your hand.
4. Check the alignment of the set in as described in 8.3.
5. Make sure that the sense of rotation coincides with the direction of the arrow located on the pump
body.
