valve) for regulation of the pump capacity, for
pump inspection, and for maintenance.
• In order to prevent back flow into the pump when
pump is turned off a check valve is installed on
the delivery piping.
WARNING:
Do not use the on-off valve on the dis-
charge side in the closed position in or-
der to throttle the pump for more than a
few seconds. If the pump must operate
with the discharge side closed for more
than a few seconds, a bypass circuit
must be installed to prevent overheating
of the liquid inside the pump.
For illustrations that show the piping requirements,
see Figure 13 on page 392 and
392.

4.2 Electrical requirements

• The local regulations in force overrule these
specified requirements.
• In the case of fire fighting systems (hydrants
and/or sprinklers), check the local regulations in
force.
Electrical connection checklist
Check that the following requirements are met:
• The electrical leads are protected from high tem-
perature, vibrations, and collisions.
• The power supply line is provided with:
– A short-circuit protection device
– A mains isolator switch with a contact gap of
at least 3 mm
The electrical control panel checklist
NOTICE:
The control panel must match the ratings of the elec-
tric pump. Improper combinations could fail to guar-
antee the protection of the motor.
Check that the following requirements are met:
• The control panel must protect the motor against
overload and short-circuit.
• Install the correct overload protection (thermal re-
lay or motor protector).

Pump Type
• The control panel must be equipped with a dry-
running protection system to which a pressure
switch, float switch, probes, or other suitable de-
vice is connected.
• The following devices are recommended for use
on the suction side of the pump:
– When the liquid is pumped from a water sys-
tem, use a pressure switch.
– When the liquid is pumped from a storage
tank or reservoir, use a float switch or probes.
• When thermal relays are used, relays that are
sensitive to phase failure are recommended.
The motor checklist
WARNING:
• Read the operating instructions in or-
der to ensure whether a protection
device is provided if another motor
other than the standard is used.
• If the motor is equipped with automat-
ic thermal protectors, be aware of the
risk of unexpected starts in connec-
tion to overload. Do not use such mo-
tors for fire-fighting applications.
NOTICE:
• Only use dynamically balanced motors with a
half-sized key in the shaft extension (IEC
60034-14) and with normal vibration rate (N).
• The mains voltage and frequency must agree
with the specifications on the data plate.
In general, motors can operate under the following
mains voltage tolerances:
Frequency Hz Phase ~

60
Use cable according to rules with 3 leads (2+earth/
ground) for single phase versions and with 4 leads
(3+earth/ground) for three phase version.
