5.1 General
The electrical connection should be carried out by an
authorised electric ian in accord ance with loc al
regulations.
The supply volta ge, rated maximum cu rrent and
cos appear from the loose data p late that must be
fitted close to th e installation site.
The required vol tage quality for Grund fos MS and
MMS submersible mot ors, measured at the motor
terminals, is – 10 %/+ 6 % of t he nominal v oltage
during continuous o peration (inc luding variati on in
the sup
ply voltage and loss es in cables ).
Furthermore, it must be che cked that there is vo ltage
symmetry in the el ectricity su pply lines, i.e. same
difference of v oltage bet ween the individua l phases.
See also 9. Checki ng of motor an d cable, po int 2.
If MS motors with a b uilt-in tempe rature transmitte r
(Tempcon) are not insta lled t ogethe r with an MP 2 04
or similar Grundfos motor protec tion, they mu st be
connected to a 0.4 7 µF capacitor app roved for
phase-phase operat ion (IEC 384- 14) to meet t he
ECEM C directive ( 2004/108/EC). The capacit or
must be connected to the two ph ases to which the
temperature transm itter is con nected. See f ig. 4.
Fig. 4 Connection of ca pacitor
The
motors are wound for direct-on -line starting or
star-delta startin g and the st arting current is betw een
4 and 6 times the r ated current of the motor.
The run-up time of the motor is only abou t
0.1s econd. Direct -on-line starti ng is there fore
normally approved by the electr icity supply
authorities.
5.1.1 Frequency con verter operat ion
Three-phase MS motors can be connec ted to a
frequency converte r.
If a temperature t ransmitter is required, a Pt100
sensor for fitting to the submer sible motor c an be
ordered from Grund fos.
Note
In cases where the stated liqu id
velocity cannot be achieved, a f low
sleeve must be ins talled.

Warning
Before starting work on the motor,
make sure that the electricity supply
has been switched off and that it cann ot
be accidentally switched on.
Warning
The motor must b e earthed.
The motor must be connected to an
external mains swi tch with a mi nimum
contact gap of 3 m m in all poles .
Caution
If an MS motor w ith temperat ure
transmitter is connec ted to a frequency
converter, a fuse inc orporated in t he
transmitter will melt and the transmitter
will be inactive. T he transmitte r cannot
be reactivated. Thi s means that the
motor will operate like a motor without
a temperature trans mitter.
