Voltage & Power Note
This pump is rated 460 V, 60 Hz. It is a direct match for 460 V or 440 V, 60 Hz supplies, used in the USA, on ships and in several export markets.
On an Indian 415 V, 50 Hz supply:
- Speed drops about 17%, to roughly 1460 RPM
- By the pump affinity laws, head drops to about 69% and flow to about 83% of the 60 Hz values
- 415 V at 50 Hz gives the motor slightly higher magnetising flux than its rating, so running current and temperature should be checked on test
For full rated performance, the pump can be run through a VFD set to 60 Hz output. Use a soft starter or suitable reduced-voltage starter for a 40 HP motor. The nameplate states that the motor thermostat must be connected to a certified temperature controller, and the seal leak probe should be wired to a seal-fail relay in the control panel.
Safety Note
- This refurbished unit is not offered as explosion-proof; any use in hazardous locations needs a suitably certified pump
- Maximum fluid temperature is 40 °C; not for oil, fuel, solvents or flammable liquids
- The nameplate states the pump is for indoor use and has not been investigated for swimming pool or marine areas
- Lift the pump only by its lifting points using rated lifting gear, never by the power cable
- Installation and service should be done by qualified persons, with the earth conductor connected
Maintenance Tips
- Check the seal leak probe circuit regularly; a seal-fail alarm means the seals need attention
- Test the motor thermostat circuit during routine checks
- Inspect the impeller and volute for wear or clogging
- Check motor insulation resistance before installation
- Inspect the power cable and cable entry for damage
- Clear rags and debris from the sump to reduce clogging
