Electrical Connection; Startup And Operation - Calpeda SD Instructions Pour L'utilisation

6.4.3. Installed in the horizontal position
• if the submersible pump is to be installed in the
horizontal position, the following instructions must
be followed:
• install the pump with its axis placed at least 0,5 m
above the bottom of the sump, tank or container;
• install a supplementary check valve, as the
pump valve does not ensure a perfect seal in the
horizontal position;
• the plant must allow for easy evacuation of the air
when starting.
6.4.4. Motor cooling
If the well (or tank) has a diameter which is
considerably greater than the pump width, it is
necessary to install a cooling flow shroud (a flow
inducer sleeve), that is an external jacket to ensure
a sufficient flow and water velocity to cool the motor
(see instruction motor).
6.4.5. Assembly of the pumps
The pumps are normally supplied with motor and
pump disconnected (except 4SD already assembled).
Connect the coupling and pump-motor

coupled. Put the suction lantern of the
pump in correspondance of the motor
studs. Couple the grooved joint of the
pump to the motor shaft.
Screw in the nuts to the suction lantern, then fix
them crosswise starting from the one opposed to
the cable as shown in the figure below. The torque
recommended is 10Nm (for 4" motors).
Attach the cable to the pump with the cable guard
and place the filter on the suction lantern.
Follow separate operating instructions (if available)
of the motor.

6.5. Electrical connection

OFF
Electrical connection must be carried out only
by a qualified electrician in accordance with
local regulations. Follow safety standards.
The unit must be properly
earthed (groun-ded), also with a
1
non-metallic delivery pipe.
Make sure the frequency and
mains voltage cor-respond with
the name plate data.
The control panel must contain:
• a device for disconnection from
the mains (switch) with a contact
separation of at least 3 mm in all
poles;
• an adequate motor protector with
curve D for the current indicated
on the name-plate;
• a capacitor for the SDM single-
phase pumps, in accordance
with the data indicated on the
M
motors themselves.

installed in the supply circuit.
For pumps with power rating above 11 kW, it is
advisable to provide the control panel with Y/ ∆ or
impedance starting.
Install electrodes to protect the pump against dry
running.
6.5.1. Connection of cables
Feed cables have to be chosen on the basis of
power, distance, voltage drop and temperature.
For connection of cables in the well, use thermo-
shrinking insulation sheathes or other systems used
for submerged cables.
Before lowering the motor into the well, use
appropriate instruments to measure continuity
between phases and perform an isolation test
between each single phase and the earth conductor.
6.5.2. Operation with frequency converter
Adjust the frequency converter so that the limiting
values of min. 30 Hz and max. 60 Hz will not be
exceeded.
The maximum running up time from 0 to 30 Hz and
running down time from 30 to 0 Hz for frequency-
converter operation is 1 second.

7. STARTUP AND OPERATION

7.1. Preliminary checks before start-up of the
pump
Do not start-up the device in case of damaged parts.
7.2. First starting
OFF
ATTENTION: never run the pump dry, not even
for a short trial run.
Start the pump with the gate valve regulated to
minimum aperture and wait until the delivery pipe is
completely free of air.
With a three-phase motor make sure the direction
of rotation is correct.
For this purpose, with the gate valve at half-open
aperture position, check the pressure (with the
pressure gauge) or flow rate (sight check) after
starting. Switch off power, reverse the connections of
two phases on the control panel, re-start and check
1
the pressure or flow rate capacity again.
The correct direction of rotation will provide a
considerably greater and easily distinguishable
pressure and delivery capacity.
Make sure the sand residue present in the water
disappeares or is minimal.
Never start or run the pump when the gate valve
has been opened too widely.
Make sure the pump operates within its rated
limits of performance and that the rated absorbed
current is not exceeded.
Otherwise, regulate the delivery gate valve or the
setting of any pressure switches.
ATTENTION: avoid long periods of operation with
M
closed discharge.
