environmentally sound way:
1. Use the public or private waste collection service.
2. If this is not possible, contact the nearest 
Grundfos company or service workshop.
Subject to alterations.
4. Insulation resistance
a) Insulation 
resistance, MS
TM00 1374 5092
Disconnect the submersible 
drop cable from the motor-
protective circuit breaker. 
Measure the insulation 
resistance from each phase to 
earth (frame). Make sure that 
the earth connection is made 
carefully.
If the insulation resistance is less than 0.5 MΩ, pull 
out the pump assembly for motor, cable or cable 
termination repair. Local regulations may specify 
other values for the insulation resistance.
b) Insulation 
resistance, 
MMS
TM00 1374 5092
Motors outside a well:
Clean the motor cable end.
Installed motors:
Disconnect the submersible 
drop cable from the motor-
protective circuit breaker 
and clean the cable end 
(contact points).
Measure the insulation 
resistance from each phase to 
earth (frame) using an 
insulation tester (500 VDC, 
2min.).
Make sure that the earth 
connection is made carefully.
Check the value on the instrument.
If the insulation resistance is lower than the values 
below, pull out the pump assembly for checking 
and repair.
The values apply to an ambient temperature of 
20 °C (68 °F).
With cable:
• new motor: 4 MΩ.
• used motor: 2 MΩ.
Without drop cable:
• new motor: 200 MΩ.
• used motor: 20 MΩ.
