Frequency Converter Operation; Filling And Bleeding - salmson SXS Serie Manuel D'installation Et Mise En Service

Motor protection triping devices
If Salmson tripping units MGP are present in existing systems, pumps with full
motor protection can be connected to them. Perform the mains connection and
also the tripping unit connection (refer to the name plate data) in accordance
with the circuit diagrams.

7.2.3 Frequency converter operation

Three-phase motors of the series SXS can be connected to a frequency con-
verter. When operating with frequency converters, output filters should be used
to reduce noise and to avoid damage due to voltage spikes.
For noise reduction, it is recommended that sine filters (LC filters) are used
rather than du/dt filters (RC filters).
The following limit values should be complied with:
• Rate of voltage rise du/dt <500 V/μs
• Voltage spikes û < 650 V
The following limit values at the connection terminals of the pump must not be
exceeded:
• U = 150 V
min
• f = 30 Hz,
min
At low output frequencies from the frequency converter, the direction of rota-
tion indicator light at the pump may go out.
8 Commissioning
WARNING! Risk of injury and material damage!
Commissioning the pump without the sealing screw including the gasket in
not permissible, since escaping fluid can cause damage!
Prior to commissioning the pump, check to ensure it has been installed and con-
nected correctly.

8.1 Filling and bleeding

Prime and aerate the system as required. Aeration of the pump rotor cavity is
carried out automatically after a short operating period. Dry running for short
periods will not harm the pump.
WARNING! Risk of injury and material damage!
It is not permitted to remove the motor head, the differential pressure screw
(fig. 3, item 3) or the flange connection/threaded pipe union for the purpose
of venting the system!
• There is a risk of scalding!
Escaping fluid can lead to injuries to persons and damage to the product.
When the vent screw is opened, hot fluid may escape at high pressure in
liquid of vapour form.
• Touching the pump can cause burns!
Depending on the pump or system operating conditions (fluid temperature),
the entire pump can become very hot.
