3.9  Connecting to semiconductor equipment 
The STP pump is a component system when installing to the semiconductor equipment. Consider 
the following when designing the semiconductor equipment. 
 
3.9.1  Connecting to power 
The STP pump receives its power from the semiconductor equipment electrical distribution system 
via a circuit breaker (Rated current 10 A). 
Electrical energy isolation (Lockout/Tagout) is achieved by opening the main disconnect device or 
circuit breaker of the semiconductor equipment, thereby removing power from the STP pump. 
Provide the equipment with the main disconnect or circuit breaker devices for at least 10,000 A
rms
 
symmetrical amperes interrupting capacity (AIC). 
 
3.9.2  Emergency off circuit (EMO circuit) 
Activation of EMO circuit of the equipment will interrupt electrical power from the STP pump. 
When the power is shut off, the STP pump performs the same as a power failure. (After backup 
operation of a power failure, the rotor lands on the touch down bearing) 
Consider the following when establishing the EMO circuit. 
CAUTION 
 
Unite the exhaust gas system to prevent atmosphere from being introduced into the STP pump 
when the EMO circuit operates (example: shut the valve). When atmosphere is introduced into the 
STP pump, the touch down bearing may not operate normally. 
 
CAUTION 
 
The STP pump rotates for a while after the EMO circuit shuts off the power. Perform a recovery 
operation after the STP pump has stopped completely. 
 
CAUTION 
 
Before performing the operation check of the EMO circuit with regular maintenance, stop the STP 
pump to prevent damage to the touch down bearing. 
 
Note:  Procure the main disconnect device and the EMO circuit at your company. 
Use the main disconnect device which is lockable only in the de-energised position. 
Locate the main disconnect device and the EMO button in the place where personnel are 
readily accessible and are not exposed to any hazards during operation.
