The nominal coolant flows specified in the following table must be maintained in order to 
ensure sufficient cooling.

Pressure balancing 
If various components are connected in the cooling circuit, pressure balancing may be 
necessary. Reactor elements must be fitted at the coolant outlet for the motor or the relevant 
components. 
Avoiding cavitation 
During uninterrupted duty, the pressure drop by an inverter or motor must not exceed 
0.2 MPa. Otherwise the high volumetric flow will lead to cavitation or abrasion damage. 
Connecting motors in series 
For the following reasons, connecting motors in series is only recommended under certain 
conditions: 
●  The necessary volumetric flows of the motors must be within a similar order of magnitude 
(< factor 2) 
●  The temperature rise in the coolant can lead to derating in the second or third motor if the 
maximum coolant intake temperature is exceeded.
