Electrical Connections - Goulds 1GA Instruction Manual

VI. Electrical Connections
All electrical work shall be carried out under the super-vision of an authorized electrician.
Local codes and regulations shall be complied with.
Check on the data plate which voltage supply is valid for your pump.
Check that the main voltage and frequency agree with the specifications on the pump data
plate.
If the pump can be connected to different voltages, the connected voltage is specified by a
yellow sticker.
Connect the motor cable to the starter equipment as illustrated in the wiring diagrams.
Conductors that are not in use must be isolated.
The cable should be replaced if the outer sheath is damaged. Contact a Goulds service shop.
Make sure that the cable does not have any sharp bends and is not pinched.
Under no circumstances may the starter equipment be installed in the sump.
1GA/2GA Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
Before starting work on the pump, make sure that the pump and the control
panel are isolated from the power supply and cannot be energized.
If the pump is equipped with automatic level control, there is a risk of sudden
restart.
All electrical equipment must be earthed. This applies to both pump equipment
and any monitoring equipment. Failure to heed this warning may cause a lethal
accident. Make sure that the earth lead is correctly connected by testing it.
If persons are likely to come into physical contact with the pump or pumped
media (liquid), e.g. on construction sites and farms, the earthed (grounded)
socket must have an additional earth-(ground-) fault protection device (GFI)
connected.
When pumping near a lake (jetties, beaches, ponds, fountains, etc.) a safety-
distance of at least 65 feet (20 m) between the person and the pump is
applicable.
The pump must never be placed directly into a swimming pool. If used in
connection with swimming pools, special safety regulations apply.
NOTE FOR EX-VERSION: Electrical connections on the explosion-proof motor
must be made by authorized personnel. Goulds Water Technology disclaims all
responsibility for work done by untrained, unauthorized personnel.
The pump may be used only in accordance with the approved motor data stated
on the pump's plates.
Thermal contacts must be connected to protection circuit intended for that
purpose according to the approval of the product.
