Section 1 General Information Overview This manual contains general procedures that apply to BaldorSReliance Motor products. Be sure to read and understand the Safety Notice statements in this manual. For your protection, do not install, operate or attempt to perform maintenance procedures until you understand the Warning and Caution statements.
Page 43
Section 1 General Information Safety Notice Continued Pacemaker danger − Magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of current carrying WARNING: carrying conductors and permanent magnet motors can result result in a serious health hazard to persons with cardiac pacemakers, metal implants, and hearing aids. To avoid risk, stay way from the area surrounding a permanent magnet motor.
Page 44
Section 2 Installation & Operation Overview Installation should conform to the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and practices. All BaldorSReliance Submersible Pump Motors Include thermal devices as standard. Normally, there are four conditions during which a submersible sewage pump may be operated in gases or vapors.
Page 45
WARNING: Do not touch electrical connections before you first ensure that power has been disconnected. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualified personnel should attempt the installation, operation and maintenance of this equipment. WARNING: The Adjustable Speed Controller may apply hazardous voltages to the motor leads after power to the controller has been turned off.
Page 46
Grounding In the USA consult the National Electrical Code, Article 430 for information on grounding of motors and generators, and Article 250 for general information on grounding. In making the ground connection, the installer should make certain that there is a solid and permanent metallic connection between the ground point, the motor or generator terminal housing, and the motor or generator frame.
Page 47
Moisture Protection The submersible moisture protection system consists of the non−wicking cable cap assembly and the dual moisture sensing probes. The cable cap assembly prevents moisture from wicking through the cable assembly even when the cable jacket has been punctured. Dual moisture sensing probes (Warrick type) extend into the oil chamber located between the tandem mechanical seals.
Page 48
Installation (for reference only) Note: Since changes occur, always refer to installation and connection documentation from the manufacturer and follow their procedures. All type 2800−XXX controls are identified by a specific component number which follows the format 2800−XXX where the X’s are replaced by numbers and letters indicative of the A−C supply line voltage and frequency, contact configuration and enclosure.
Page 49
Section 1 General Information WARNING: Surface temperatures of motor enclosures may reach temperatures which can cause discomfort or injury to personnel accidentally coming into contact with hot surfaces. Protection should be provided by the user to protect against accidental contact with hot surfaces. Failure to observe this precaution could result in bodily injury.
