6.2.2 Frequency of starts
DANGER
Excessive surface temperature of the motor
Explosion hazard!
Damage to the motor!
▷ In case of explosion-proof motors, observe the frequency of starts specified in
the manufacturer's product literature.
The frequency of starts is usually determined by the maximum temperature increase
of the motor. This largely depends on the power reserves of the motor in steady-
state operation and on the starting conditions (DOL, star-delta, moments of inertia,
etc). If the starts are evenly spaced over the period indicated, the following limits
serve as orientation for start-up with the discharge-side gate valve slightly open:
Table11: Frequency of starts
Impeller material Maximum frequency of starts
[Start-ups/hour]
G (JL1040/ A48CL35B) 15
B (CC480K-GS/B30 C90700) 6
C (1.4408/ A743 GR CF8M)
CAUTION
Re-starting while motor is still running down
Damage to the pump (set)!
▷ Do not re-start the pump set before the pump rotor has come to a standstill.

The calculation formula below can be used to check if an additional heat build-up
could lead to a dangerous temperature increase at the pump surface.
