Municipal combined sewage and storm water systems. • Seawater applications with cathodic protection and IM5 coating (consult Sulzer for advice). XFP-CP (Chopper) pumps have been designed for the pumping of heavily contaminated commercial, Industrial, municipal and agricultural wastewater, sewage and sludge, in wet well installations.
ATTENTION Leakage of lubricants could result in pollution of the medium being pumped. ATTENTION Always consult with your local Sulzer representative for advice on approved use and application before installing the pump. 3.3. Identification code Table 2. e.g. XFP 80C CB1.3 PE22/4-C-50...
5. Safety The general and specific health and safety guidelines are described in detail in the ”Safety Instructions for Sulzer Products Type ABS” booklet. If anything is not clear or you have any questions as to safety make certain to contact the manufacturer Sulzer.
Protection Type EX (i), in accordance with IEC 60079-11 and FM 3610. In the event that the unit is to be operated in explosive atmospheres using a variable speed drive (VFD), please contact your local Sulzer representative for technical advice regarding the various approvals and standards concerning thermal overload protection.

Submersible Sewage Pump Type ABS XFP PE1 - PE3 INSTALLATION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 12. Electrical connection Page 31 11.3.4. Venting of the volute After lowering the pump into the sump medium, an air lock may occur in the volute causing pumping problems. To clear the air lock, you can shake the pump and/or raise and lower the pump in the medium, until the resulting air bubbles no longer appear at surface level.
(PE1 & PE2), motor (PE3, 50 Hz), or motor and inspection chambers (PE3, 60Hz). In order to integrate this seal monitoring function into the control panel of the unit it is necessary to fit a Sulzer DI module and connect this in accordance with the circuit diagram below.

It is very important to note that with the connection example above it is not possible to identify which sensor/alarm is being activated. As an alternative Sulzer highly recommends to use a separate CA 461 module for each sensor/input, to allow not only identification but also to prompt to the appropriate response to the alarm category/severity.
12. Electrical connection Page 34 ATTENTION If the leakage sensor (DI) is activated the unit must be immediately taken out of service. Please contact your Sulzer service center. 12.2. Temperature monitoring Thermal sensors in the stator windings protect the motor from overheating.
12.3. Operation with variable frequency drive (VFD) The stator design and the insulation grade of the motors from Sulzer means that they are suitable for usage with VFD, according to IEC 60034-25:2022 / NEMA 61800-2:2005. It is however essential that the following conditions are met: •...
