12. Disposal
This product or parts of it must be disposed of in an 
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.
The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on 
a product means that it must be 
disposed of separately from household 
waste. When a product marked with this 
symbol reaches its end of life, take it to a 
collection point designated by the local 
waste disposal authorities. The separate collection 
and recycling of such products will help protect the 
environment and human health.

4. Insulation resistance
a) Insulation 
resistance, MS
TM00 1374 5092
Disconnect the submersible 
drop cable from the motor-
protective circuit breaker or 
the sine wave filter. Measure 
the insulation resistance 
from each phase to earth 
(frame). Earth connection 
has to be established 
carefully.
If the insulation resistance is below 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.).
Earth connection has to be 
established 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 drop cable:
• new motor: 4 MΩ.
• used motor: 2 MΩ.
Without drop cable:
• new motor: 200 MΩ.
• used motor: 20 MΩ.
