3.1 General Installation Guidelines

• Inordertoavoidabrasiontothepowerandcontrol

cables, pad the top of the well casing (a rubber pad is

recommended) where the cable will pass over it; use

a cable reel for cable control.

• Theunitmustalwaysbeeasytorotateinthe

hoistinggear.

• Laypowerandcontrolcablesoutstraightonthe

ground (no loops) before installation. Guide cables

during lowering so that they are not stretched or

squeezed while pump is being installed. Make sure

that cable insulation is not nicked or damaged before

or during installation. Never use the electrical cables

to move the motor/pump.

• Thepumpandmotorareheavy.Makesurethatall

connections are secure and that the hoisting gear is

adequate to do the job before starting to lift pump.

Don’t stand under the unit. Don’t allow extra people

into the area while hoisting the unit.

• Ifmotororpump/motorunitareattachedtoa

supporting girder, do not remove girder until unit

isvertical.

• Installpumpatleast10’(3m)belowthelowestwater

level during pumping, but at least 6’ (2m) above the

bottom of the well.

• 6”motorscanbeoperatedinverticalorhorizontal

(when lead wire is at 12:00 position facing motor

flange) positions.

• 4”motorscanbeoperatedinverticalorhorizontal

positions. Note that the thrust bearing will have

shorter life in a non-vertical application. In such an

installation, keep frequency of starts to less than

10perday.

3.2 Proper Grounding

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn

or cause death. Installation or service to electrical

equipment should only be done by qualified electrician.

Control panels must be connected to supply ground

Proper grounding serves two main purposes:

1. It provides a path to ground in case of a ground-fault.

Otherwise the current would present a shock or

electrocution hazard.

2. It protects equipment from electrical surges.

Use wire the same size as, or larger than motor’s

current-carrying wires (consult Tables in the motor

section).

Installations must comply with the National Electric Code

as well as state and local codes.

All systems must have lightning (surge) protection with a

secure connection to ground.

An above ground lighting (surge) protection must be

grounded metal-to-metal and extend all the way to

the water bearing layer to be effective. Do not ground

the lightning (surge) protection to the supply ground

or to a ground rod as this will provide little or no surge

protection to the unit.

All motors are internally grounded and requires a 3 or

4-wire drop cable.

3.3 Corrosive Water and Ground

Some waters are corrosive, and can eventually corrode

the ground wire. If the installation uses a metal well

casing, any ground current will flow through it. In the

case of plastic piping and casing, the water column would

carry the current in a ground fault situation.

To prevent this, route the motor ground wire and the

motor power leads through a GFCI with a 10 mA set

point. In this way, the GFCI will trip when a ground fault

has occurred AND the motor ground wire is no longer

functional.

3.4 Check Valves

Check valve installation is necessary for proper pump

operation. The pump should have a check valve on its

discharge, or within 25 feet (7.62 m) of the pump. For very

deep wells, locate a check valve at least every 200 feet

(61m) vertical.

• Useonlyspringtypeorgravity-poppetcheck

valves. Swing type valves can cause water hammer

problems.

• Donotusedrain-backstylecheckvalves(drilled).

Check valves serve the following purposes:

• MaintainPressure:Withoutacheckvalve,thepump

has to start each cycle at zero head, and fill the drop

pipe. This creates upthrust in the motor, and would

eventually damage both the pump and motor.

• PreventWaterHammer:Iftwocheckvalvesareused,

and the lower one leaks, then a partial vacuum forms

in the pipe. When the pump next starts, the flow fills

the void area quickly, and creates a shock wave that

can break piping and damage the pump. If you get

water hammer on pump start, this may be the cause.

• PreventBack-Spin:Withoutafunctioningcheck

valve, upon shutoff, the water drains back through

the pump, and cause it to rotate backwards. This can

create excessive wear on the thrust bearing, and if the

pump restarts as water is flowing down the pipe, it

will put an excessive load on the system.

SECTION 3: Installation and Setup

3.5 Start-Up

NOTICE: To avoid sand-locking pump, follow procedure

below when starting pump for the first time. NEVER start

a pump with discharge completely open unless you have

done this procedure first.

1. Connect a pipe elbow, a short length of pipe and a

gate valve to pump discharge at well head.

2. Make sure that controls will not be subjected to

extreme heat or excess moisture.

3. Make sure power is OFF. DO NOT START PUMP YET.

4. Set gate valve on discharge 1/3 open; start pump.

5 Keep gate valve at this setting while water pumps out

on ground. Let it run until water is clear of sand or

silt. (To check solids in water, fill a glass from pump

and let solids settle out).

6. When water is completely clear at 1/3 setting, open

gate valve to approximately two-thirds open and

repeatprocess.

7. When water is completely clear at 2/3 setting, open

gate valve completely and run pump until water is

completely clear.

8. Do not stop the pump until the water is clear.

Otherwise sand will accumulate in the pump stages

which may bind or freeze the pump.

9. Remove gate valve and make permanent installation.

NOTICE: The motor may draw higher than normal current

while the riser pipe is filling. After the riser pipe is full,

the amp draw should drop back to less than the allowed

current given on the motor nameplate.

When pump is in service, the amp draw must be

approximately equal to or lower than the service factor

amps given on the motor nameplate. If not, recheck

entire installation and electrical hook-up to find out why

amp draw is higher than normal.

Motor Torque

The motor exerts a strong torque force on the downpipe

and any other supporting structures when it starts. This

torque is usually in the direction that would unscrew

right-hand threads (the motor’s reaction movement is

clockwise as seen from above).

All pipe and pump joints must be tightened to safely

handle the starting torque. Tighten all threaded

joints to a minimum of 10 ft.-lb per horsepower.

i.e. 20 HP = 200ft.-lb; 50 HP = 500 ft.-lb.

Tack welding or strap welding may be required with

higher horsepower pumps.

4.1 Mixing Wire Size with Existing

Installation

Using two different cable sizes.

Sometimes conditions make it desirable to use more

than one size cable, such as replacing a pump in an

existinginstallation.

For example: Installing a pump with a 4”, 5 HP, 230

volt, single phase motor, with the motor setting at 370’

(112.8m) down the well and with 160’ (48.8m) of #8cable

buried between the service entrance and the wellhead.

In order to avoid replacing the buried cable, the question

is: What size cable is required in the well? Calculate

asfollows:

1. According to Table 5-9, a total of 326’ (112.8m) of #8

cable is the maximum length cable to power a 5HP

motor. The percent of this total that has been used

by the 160’ (48.8m) of cable in the buried run is:

160’ / 326’ = .49 or 49%.

2. With 49% of the allowable cable already used, 51%

of the total length is left for use in the well. To avoid

running a cable that is too small (gauge) and lowering

the voltage to the motor, we have to find a cable size

large enough so that 370’ (112.8m) is less than 51%

of the total length allowed for that size.

3. 370 ÷ 51% = 726 feet.

4. From Table 5-9 we find that the total allowable length

for #4 cable is 809’ (246.6 m).

This is longer than needed. Therefore, #4 cable can

be used for the 370’ (112.8m) of cable in the well.

Any combination of sizes can be used, provided that

the total percentage of the length of the two sizes of

cable is not less than 100% of the allowed lengths.

4.2 Wire Splicing

Splice wire to motor leads. Use only copper wire for

connections to pump motor and control box.

1. Taped splice (for larger wire sizes)

A. Stagger lead and wire length so that 2nd lead is

2” (50mm) longer than 1st lead and 3rd lead is

2”(50mm) longer than second.

B. Cut off power supply wire ends. Match colors

and lengths of wires to colors and lengths of

motorleads.

C. Trim insulation back 1/2” (13mm) from supply

wire and motor lead ends (Figure 4-2).

D. Insert motor lead ends and supply wire ends

into butt connectors. Match wire colors between

supply wires and motor leads.

E. Using crimping pliers, indent butt connector lugs

to attach wires (Figure 4-3).

F. Cut Scotchfil™ electrical insulation putty into

3 equal parts and form tightly around butt

connectors. Be sure Scotchfil overlaps insulated

part of wire.

G. Using #33 Scotch® tape, wrap each joint tightly;

cover wire for about 1-1/2” (38mm) on each side

of joint. Make four passes with the tape. When

finished you should have four layers of tape tightly

wrapped around the wire. Press edges of tape

firmly down against the wire (Figure 4-4).

NOTICE: Since tightly wound tape is the only means

of keeping water out of splice, efficiency of splice will

depend on care used in wrapping tape.

NOTICE: For wire sizes larger than No. 8 (7mm2), use

soldered joint rather than Scotchfil putty, Figure 4-5.

2. Heat shrink splice (For wire sizes #14, 12 and 10 AWG

(2, 3 and 5mm2):

A. Remove 3/8” (9.5mm) insulation from ends of

motor leads and power supply wires.

B. Put plastic heat shrink tubing over motor leads

between power supply and motor.

C. Match wire colors and lengths between power

supply and motor.

D. Insert supply wire and lead ends into butt

connector and crimp. Match wire colors

between power supply and motor. Pull leads to

checkconnections.

E. Center tubing over butt connector and apply heat

evenly with a torch (match or lighter will not

supply enough heat, Figure 4-6).

NOTICE: Keep torch moving. Too much concentrated heat

may damage tubing.

4.3 3-Phase Starters

Starters are used to start the motor by engaging contacts

that will energize each line simultaneously. The contacts

are closed when the coil is energized.

Figures 4-7 through 4-9 show three types of starters used

on the motors. The control device in the secondary circuit

is typically a pressure switch. Other control could be

provided by level control, timers or manual switches.

Line Voltage Control

This commonly-used control has a coil energized by line

voltage. The coil voltage matches the line voltage.

Low Voltage Control

This starter arrangement uses a transformer to allow

the coil to be energized by a lower voltage. Note that the

secondary circuit must be fused, and the coil sized for the

secondary voltage.

Separate Voltage Control

This arrangement uses power from a separate source to

energize the coil.

4.4 Checking Motor Rotation

To check rotation before the pump is installed, follow

thesesteps:

During testing or checking rotation (such as “bumping”

or “inching”) the number of “starts” should be limited to

3and total run time of less than 15 seconds.

Bumping must be done while motor is in horizontal

position and followed by a full 15 minute cooling-off

period before any additional “starts” are attempted.

Energize the motor

briefly, and observe the

direction of rotation.

It should be counter-

clockwise when viewed

from the pump (shaft)

end.

To check rotation after

the pump is installed:

NOTICE: NEVER

continuously operate a

pump with the discharge

valve completely closed

(dead head). This can overload the motor due to lack of

cooling, or destroy the pump and will void the warranty.

After energizing the motor, check the flow and pressure

of the pump to make sure that the motor is rotating in the

correct direction. To correct a wrong rotation, switch any

two of the three cable connections (three-phase motor

only). The setting that gives the most flow and pressure is

correct.

A cooling-off period of 15 minutes is required

betweenstarts.

Hazardous voltage. Disconnect power

before working on wiring.

Input voltage, current and insulation resistance values

should be recorded throughout the installation and

should be used for preventive maintenance.

4.5 3-Phase Current Balancing

Current Unbalance Test

Before checking for current unbalance, the pump must

be started, and rotation direction determined.

Determine current unbalance by measuring current in

each power lead. Measure current for all three possible

hookups (Figure 4-11). Use example and worksheet on

the Installation Checklist and Record in Section 12 to

calculate current unbalance on a three phase supply

system and retain for future reference.

NOTICE: Current unbalance between leads should not

exceed 5%. If unbalance cannot be corrected by rolling

the leads, locate the source of the unbalance.

Here is an example of current readings at maximum

pump loads on each leg of a three wire hookup. Make

calculations for all three possible hookups.

A. For each hookup, add the readings for the three legs.

B. Divide each total by three to get average amps.

C. For each hookup, find current value farthest from

average (Calculate the greatest current difference

from the average).

D. Divide this difference by the average and multiply by

100 to obtain the percentage of unbalance.

Use smallest percentage unbalance, in this case

Arrangement 2 (Table 4.1).

Us e the Current-Balance worksheet

located in the Installation Record

After trying all three lead hookups, if the reading furthest

from average continues to show on the same power lead,

most of the unbalance is coming from the power source.

Call the power company.

If the reading furthest from average changes leads as the

hookup changes (that is, stays with a particular motor

lead), most of the unbalance is on the motor side of the

starter. This could be caused by a damaged cable, leaking

splice, poor connection, or faulty motor winding.

4.6 Transformer Sizing

A full three-phase power supply is recommended

for all three-phase motors and may consist of three

individual transformers or one three-phase transformer.

“Open” delta or wye connections which use only two

transformers can be used, but are more likely to cause

unbalanced current problems. Transformer ratings

should be no smaller than listed in Table 4-2 for supply

power to the motor alone.

Transformers are rated by KVA capacity. This must be

high enough capacity for the motor being installed. If the

transformer capacity is too small, the motor will receive

reduced voltage and may be damaged.

Any other loads in the system would be in addition to the

motor alone.

Refer to Table 4-2. Note that the open delta configuration

can only use 87% of the rated power of the two

transformers.

Select a generator that can supply at least 65% of rated

voltage upon start-up of the motor.

Frequency

It is highly important that the generator maintain

constant frequency (Hz), since the motor’s speed depends

uponfrequency.

A drop of just 1 to 2 Hz can noticeably lower pump

performance. An increase of 1 to 2 Hz can cause

overloadconditions.

Voltage Regulation

There is a significant difference in the performance of

internally and externally regulated generators.

An external regulator senses output voltage dips

and triggers an increase in the voltage output of the

generator.

An internal regulator, senses current and responds to

increased current by supplying more voltage.

Generator Operation

Start the generator before starting the pump motor.

The pump motor must be stopped before turning off

thegenerator.

If the generator runs out of fuel, and the pump is still

connected, it will put excess strain on the thrust bearings

as the generator slows.

Risk of electrocution. Use transfer

switches when the generator is used as a backup to the

power grid. Contact your power company or generator

manufacturer for proper use of standby or backup

generators.

4.8 Special Applications

Using Phase Converters

Phase converters allow three-phase motors to operate

from one-phase supply. Various styles of phase

converters are available. Many converters do not supply

a properly balanced voltage, and using these will void the

motor’s warranty unless approval is obtained first.

Guidelines For Phase Converters:

• Currentunbalancemustbelessthan5%.

• Convertertobesizedtoservicefactorcapacity

• Maintainmotorcoolingwithacoolingflowofatleast

3’ per second.

• Fusesandcircuitbreakersmustbetime-delaytype.

Motor Starting with Reduced Voltage

Starting a motor with full voltage will bring it to full speed

in less than 1/2 second. This can:

• Spiketheloadcurrent,causingbriefvoltagedipsin

other equipment.

• Over-stresspumpandpipingcomponentsbecauseof

high torque.

• Causewaterhammer.

Motor Starters (3-Phase Only)

Various types of motor starters are available.

Autotransformers are recommended because of reduced

current draw.

When motor starters are used, they should supply

a minimum of 55% of rated voltage for adequate

startingtorque.

5.1 Motor Inspection

Check the motor for damage in shipping.

Before installation, check the following.

• Checkoveralltools,especiallythehoistinggear,for

wear or damage before hoisting unit.

• Inspectthemotorcableforanynicksorcuts.

• Verifythatmotornameplatedatamatches

registration card information exactly.

• Verifythatmotornameplatevoltageiscorrectfor

available power supply voltage. Voltage must not vary

more than +/-10% from nameplate rated voltage.

• Verifythatthewelldiameterislargeenoughto

accommodate the motor/pump unit all the way to the

pump setting depth.

• Forinstallationswithtightwellcasings,makesure

that riser pipe flanges are recessed to protect

the power and control cables from abrasion and

squeezing during installation.

Heavy object. Lifting equipment must be

capable of lifting motor and attached equipment.

• Ifthetotallengthofthepumpmotorunit(without

any riser pipe) exceeds 10’ (3m), the unit must be

supported with a girder while hoisting. Do not remove

supporting girder until unit is standing vertically in the

hoist. Check for damage.

5.2 Testing

Insulation Resistance

To check for insulation resistance:

1. Disconnect power to the motor for this test.

2. Connect an Ohm meter (resistance in Ω) between the

power leads and the motor ground or well casing.

20KΩ Damaged motor, possible result of

lightning strike.

500KΩ Typical of older installed motor in well.

2 MΩ Newly installed motor

10 MΩ Used motor, measured outside of well

20 MΩ New motor without cable

5.3 Storage and Transportation

The motors are filled with a non-toxic, Propylene Glycol

and water solution to prevent damage from freezing

temperatures. The solution will prevent damage from

freezing temperatures to -40˚F (-40˚ C). Motors should

be stored in areas that do not go below this temperature.

The solution will become slushy between 0˚F (-17˚C) and

-40˚F (-40˚C) but no damage occurs. If this occurs, allow

the motor to sit in the well for several minutes before

operating.

Storage site should be clean, well vented, and cool.

Keep humidity at the storage site as low as possible.

Protect motor and cables from direct sunlight.

Protect power supply cables and control cables from

moisture by taping the cable ends with electrician’s tape.

Do not kink power supply or control cables.

Take care when moving unit (packed or unpacked) with

crane or hoisting gear not to knock it against walls, steel

structure, floors, etc. Do not drop motor.

Do not lift motor or motor/pump unit by power supply or

control cables.

SECTION 5: XE Series 4” Submersible Motors

5.8 4” Motor Overload Protection

Single Phase Motors

Single phase motors have overload protection either

in the motor or in the control box. Motors less than or

equal to 1HP have built-in protection. This automatic

protection will continue to cycle under a locked or stalled

rotorcondition.

Single phase motors larger than 1 HP use overload

protection located in the SMC (Submersible Motor

Controls) section. These are manual overloads and must

be manually reset if an overload condition occurs.

5.9 Motor Cooling

Pentek® 4” XE Series motors are designed to operate to a

maximum SF (Service Factor) horsepower in water up to

86° F (30° C).

4” motors: Minimum cooling water flow 3 HP and over

I.D of casing Flow GPM (LPM) required

14 110 (416)

16 150 (568)

If the flow is less than specified, a flow-inducer sleeve

can be installed, as shown in Figure 5-2. The sleeve will

act like a smaller casing size to force flow around the

motor to aidcooling.

5.10 Starting Frequency

Recommended motor starting frequency is shown

below. Motor, pressure switch, tank, and pump life may

be extended by limiting starts per hour and starts per

day. Proper tank sizing is critical to control pump cycle

times. Excessive or rapid cycling creates heat which can

prematurely damage motors, switches, andcontrols.

1/2 thru 3/4 12.5 300 12.5 300

1 thru 5 4.2 100

7.5 thru 200 4.2 100

A one (1) minute minimum run time for pumps and motors up to 1.5HP and

two (2) minutes for 2HP and larger motors is recommended to dissipate heat

build-up from starting current.

6.2 Testing

ELECTRICAL

(See Table 1, Page 4, for Motor Electrical

Specifications)

1. Risk of electrical shock if the cable is

damaged. Inspect the motor cable for any nicks or

cuts. Do not use the motor cable to pull, lift, or

handle the motor. Protect the motor cable during

storage, handling, moving, and installation of the

motor.

2. Inspect the motor to determine that it is the correct

horsepower, voltage, and size for the job and that

there is no shipping damage. Verify that the motor

nameplate voltage matches the available power

supply voltage. The nameplate rated voltage must

not vary more than ± 10% from the power supply

voltage.

3. On all new installations and after the motor has

sat idle for a long period of time, check the motor’s

internal electrical resistance with a megohmmeter

with lead wires connected. Prior to installation, the

motor should have an insulation value of at least

500 megohms. After installation, the motor and

power cable should have a minimum insulation

value of 1 megohm. If the minimum values are

below the listed values, contact the factory before

starting the motor.

4. Fuses or circuit breakers and overload protection

are required. Fuses or circuit breakers and

overloads must be sized in accordance with National

Electrical Code (NEC) or Canadian Electrical Code

(CEC) requirements, as applicable, and with all

applicable local codes and ordinances. See

Section 6 for these specifications.

5. Wire and ground the motor in accordance with

National Electrical Code (NEC) or Canadian

Electrical Code (CEC) requirements, as applicable,

and with all applicable local codes and ordinances.

6.3 Storage and Drain/Fill Instructions

LIFTING

1. Heavy Object. Lifting equipment must be

capable of lifting motor and attached equipment. Check

over all tools, especially the hoisting gear, for wear or

damage before hoisting the unit.

2. If the total length of the pump and motor unit (without

any riser pipe attached) exceeds 10ft (3m), support the

unit with a girder while hoisting (see Figure 1). Do not

remove the supporting girder until the unit is standing

vertically in the hoist. Check for damage.

6.3 Storage and Drain/Fill Instructions

MOTOR STORAGE AND INSTALLATION

1. The motor is filled at the factory with anti-freeze

which will protect it in temperatures down to –22ºF

(-30ºC). Do not install, transport or store the motor

below these temperatures if the motor is filled. If

storage is necessary at temperatures below –22ºF

(-30ºC), drain the anti-freeze from the motor.

2. Verify that the motor is full before installing. If not, fill

it with clean water (see below). Installing a motor that

is not filled with liquid will void the warranty. Before

installation, check all water fill and drain plugs,

mounting bolts, and cable connections for tightness.

Refill the motor with clean water as follows:

A. Stand the motor on end (vertically) and remove the

fill plug with a 5mm hexagonal nut driver.

B. Turn the motor shaft by hand while rocking the

motor back and forth (see Figure 2).

C. Pour in clean water until the motor is as full as

possible.

D. Repeat the turning/rocking procedure.

E. Check the liquid level. If necessary, add more clean

water.

F. When the motor is full, re-install the fill plug.

Tighten it with the 5mm hexagonal nut driver.

Support motor while rocking to prevent motor

from falling over.

A. Rock motor

while turning

shaft.

B. Fill motor;

repeat rocking

and lling until

motor is full.

Figure 2: Rock Motor gently from side to side while

turning shaft by hand (A), then fill with clean water (B).

Repeat until full.

Less Than 10 Ft (3 M) 10 Ft (3M) or More 10 Ft (3M) or More

Support the pump and motor! Lack of support will destroy the motor!

Figure 1: When the pump and motor together

(without any riser pipe) are 10ft (3m) long or more,

support the assembly before lifting to avoid bending

it in the middle. Never try to lift the motor or pump

by the motor cables.

NOT TO SCALE

Figure 3: If flow past motor is less than .5 fps (0.15 mps),

install a flow inducer sleeve as shown. Flow must be at

least .5 fps (0.15 mps) for adequate motor cooling. The

flow inducer sleeve should not touch the side of the

motor.

6.3 Storage and Drain/Fill Instructions

NOTICE To avoid damaging the motor thrust bearing,

do not hammer on the shaft, coupling, or slinger. Check

the motor rotation by hand to make sure that it turns

freely.

1. To avoid damage to the motor diaphragm, make

sure that the bottom of the motor does not touch

the dirt or mud at the bottom of the well. Install the

motor at least 10’ above the well bottom.

2. To install the motor horizontally, lay it down with

the lead wires at 12 o’clock when you are facing

the motor shaft. To prevent any load on the shaft

and bearings and to avoid any damaging vibrations

to the motor, mount the motor solidly on the pump

end and make sure that the pump and motor are

accurately aligned.

3. Install the motor so that during operation water

flows past all parts of it at a rate of at least 0.5 fps

(0.15 mps). If the well will not provide this flow,

install a sleeve on the motor to channel water past

it (see Figure 3). Do not try to operate the motor in

mud or sand. To do so will damage the motor and

void the warranty.

4. Electrical connections: Connect the three motor

leads to the three hot motor leads (black, brown,

and blue) in the incoming cable. Connect the

ground wire (green and yellow) in accordance with

NEC or CEC requirements (as applicable) and in

accordance with all applicable local codes and

ordinances. Apply power momentarily to check

rotation. If the motor runs backwards, interchange

any two power leads to reverse direction of rotation.

Pentek 6” Motors

SECTION 6: Pentek® 6” Submersible Motors

6.7 Overload Protection

Submersible motors must have Class 10 overload protection that will disconnect the power within 10 seconds in the

case of a locked rotor. To accomplish this, fixed-heater overloads are used. Refer to Section 10 for appropriate heaters.

The chart is based upon total line amps. Divide the motor amps by 1.732 when using a 6-lead motor with a Y-Delta

Starter. Notice: General Electric overload heaters are only usable with general electric overload relays. Do not adjust

relays to exceed nameplate amps.

6.8 Motor Cooling

Pentek 6” motors are designed for minimum water flow of 0.5 ft. /sec. past the motor. Maximum water temperature is

95° F (35° C).

If the flow is less than specified, a flow-inducer sleeve can be installed. This will act like a smaller casing size, and

force flow around the motor to aid cooling. Always use a flow-inducer sleeve when the pump is in open water.

6.9 Head Loss In Casing

Use the chart below to account for the head loss around the pump.

6.10 Starting Frequency

To extend the life of the pump motor and control, limit the number of starts

to 100 per 24 hours. If higher starting frequencies are necessary, consult

your factory. To prevent overheating, run motor for a minimum of two

minutes. For starting frequency, refer to section 5.10.

SECTION 6: Pentek® 6” Submersible Motors

6.11 Troubleshooting

Pentek 6” Motors

SECTION 7: Hitachi® 6” and Larger Submersible Motors

7.1 Motor Inspection

The following conditions are stated to provide the owner

with a list of criteria for maximum motor life and to

assure motor warranty.

1. Maximum water temperature:

• A) 35°C (95°F): 6” (5~40HP) motors.

• B) 25°C (77°F): 6” (50,60HP), 8’’, 10”, 12’’ and 14”

motors

2. PH content of the water between: 6.5 -8

3. Maximum chlorine content: 500 PPM

• Maximum Sulfuric acid iron content: 15 PPM

• Maximum Fluorine content: 0.8 PPM

• Maximum Electric conductivity: 118 μMHO/INCH

4. Maximum sand content: 50 PPM

5. Proper approved three phase overload protection.

See Table 13.

6. Proper fusing for motor circuit protection.

See Table C.

7. Proper line voltage during running conditions:

60Hz: 460V, 230V ±10%

50Hz: 380V ±10%

at motor lead terminal. (Voltage drop of cable should

be considered by user.)

Combination of voltage and frequency variation:

±10% (sum of absolute values of voltage and

frequency)

Current unbalance between legs should not exceed

5% of the average.

8. Proper sizing of motor (current, thrust, voltage, etc.)

and a 10 feet clearance from the bottom of the well

are required.

9. In the case of horizontal installation, the motor is to

be rigidly aligned with the pump and firmly mounted

to prevent any load on the shaft and bearings and to

avoid any damaging vibrations to the motor.

10. The motor must always be immersed in water so that

a flow velocity of cooling water at a rate of 0.5 feet

per second flows past any and all parts of the motor.

The motor will not operate in mud or sand.

11. The power cables shall be sized large enough so

that at rated current there will be less than a 5%

voltage drop. See Table C. Cables must be waterproof

submersible type.

12. For 3ø motor a balanced and properly sized

transformer bank shall be provided. Improper

electrical supply (for example, phase converter.

V-connection transformer, etc.) or connections will

void the warranty

13. Single-phase protection is recommended for

protection of the installation. Any failure due to single

phasing of the incoming voltage causing the motor to

fail will void the warranty.

14. Surge suppressors are recommended in the interest

of protecting the control panel, as well a.s the

insulation system of the motor. Any motor failure

due to lightning or other Acts of God will void the

warranty.

15. Provide waterproof insulation splices between all

lead wires and well cables.

16. In the event that a reduced voltage starter is used to

start the motor, the following should be verified:

• Correct quick trip, class 10 or better, ambient

compensated overloads are incorporated.

• Proper short circuit protection is utilized.

• The torque required by the motor and pump package

is attainable by this type starter.

• The lead arrangement of the motor is acceptable with

the proposed starter load connections.

• Verify that if any time delay relays are used in

switching contactors in and out, that the time settings

do not exceed 2 seconds; this could damage the

motor.

• lf a manual auto transformer starter is used, voltage

should be minimum 60% of rated voltage, and

switched to “Run”condition within 2 seconds. Double

check Table B and C for correct protection.

17. Single-Phase Motors (5-15HP)

Proper connections and correct capacitors and

relays are necessary for single-phase motor starting

and running. Connection diagram: Sec Fig. 1.

Performance and recommendable capacitors: See

Table D.

7.2 Testing

1. Do not use lead wires to pull, lift or handle the motor.

The lead wires should be protected during storage,

handling, moving and installation of the motor. 2)

2. Inspect the motor to determine that it is the correct

HP, voltage and size for the job and that there is no

shipping damage.

3. The factory-installed water in the motor is supplied

with anti-freeze capable of temperatures to

0°C(-22°F). Do not install, transport or store below

these temperatures. If storage is necessary below

these temperatures, drain the water from the motor.

4. After long periods of idleness and on all new

installations, check the electrical resistance and

megger the motor with lead wires connected: see

table A. Prior to installation, the motor should have

an insulation value of at least 50 megohms. After

installation, motor and power cable should have a

minimum insulation value of 1 megohm. If minimum

values are not obtained, contact factory.

SECTION 7: Hitachi® 6” and Larger Submersible Motors

7.2 Testing

5. Verify motor is filled with clean water before

installing. The warranty is void if this is not done.

Also check the tightness of all water filling and drain

plugs, mounting bolts and cable connections.

6. Do not hammer the shaft, coupling or slinger since

this may damage the thrust bearing. Check the

rotation of the motor by hand to insure that it turns

freely.

7. Do not drop the bottom end of the motor in the dirt or

mud since this may plug up the diaphragm opening.

8. If motor is to be installed horizontal, make sure that

the lead wires are at the 12 o’clock position when

facing the motor shaft (in horizontal position).

NOTE:

There are no bearings that need oil or grease. The motor,

being inaccessible, should be monitored through its

electrical connections.

• A) Measure and record operating current and voltage.

• B) Measure and record the motor insulation

resistance. Any resistance of less than 50 megohm

(5,000,000) for a new motor should be evaluated or

checked further by a qualified service shop.

• Lightning arrestors and/or surge capacitors will help

prevent damage to the control box, cables, and motor.

• Single-phase protection will help in preventing motor

failure due to adverse incoming primary power.

• Based on the values obtained in A and B above and

the output flow rates and pressures of the pump,

a complete picture of total performance can be

obtained. This can be used to determine any pump

and motor maintenance and overhauling which might

be required.

• If the motor is to be stored, protect the unit from

freezing by storing in an area with a temperature

higher than -30°C (-22° F).

7.3 Storage and Drain Fill Instructions

1. After energizing the motor, check the flow and

pressure of the pump to make sure that the motor

is rotating in the correct direction. To correct a

wrong rotation, switch any two of the three cable

connections. (Three-phase motor only)

2. When starting the pump for the first time, inspect

the water for sand. If sand appears, then continue

to pump till the water clears up; otherwise, sand

will accumulate in the pump stages and will bind or

freeze the moving parts if water is allowed to flow

back down the well.

3. During testing or checking rotation (such as

“humping” or “inching”) the number of “starts”

should be limited to 3, followed by a full 15 minute

cooling-off period before any additional “starts’’

are attempted. Depending on the depth of the well

and/or method of checking, these rotational checks

or ‘’starts’’ may actually be full-fledged starts. If

this is the case, then a full cooling-off period of 15

minutes is required between this type of start.

4. For automatic (pilot device) operation, the motor

should be allowed to cool for 15 minutes between

starts.

5. Input voltage, current and insulation resistance

values should be recorded throughout the life of

the installation and should be used as a from of

preventive maintenance.

SECTION 7: Hitachi® 6” and Larger Submersible Motors

7.7 Overload Protection

Submersible motors must have Class 10 overload protection that will disconnect the power within 10 seconds in the

case of a locked rotor. To accomplish this, fixed-heater overloads are used. Refer to Section 10 for appropriate heaters.

The chart is based upon total line amps. Divide the motor amps by 1.732 when using a 6-lead motor with a Y-Delta

Starter. Notice: General Electric® overload heaters are only usable with General Electric overload relays. Do not adjust

relays to exceed nameplate amps.

7.8 Motor Cooling

Hitachi 6” motors are designed for minimum water flow of 0.5 ft. /sec. past the motor. Maximum water temperature is

95° F (35° C).

6” MOTORS: MINIMUM COOLING WATER FLOW

If the flow is less than specified, a flow-inducer sleeve can be installed. This will act like a smaller casing size, and

force flow around the motor to aid cooling. Always use a flow-inducer sleeve when the pump is in open water.

7.9 Head Loss In Casing

Use the chart below to account for the head loss around the pump.

7.10 Starting Frequency

To extend the life of the pump motor and control, limit the number of starts

to 100 per 24 hours. If higher starting frequencies are necessary, consult

your factory. To prevent overheating, run motor for a minimum of two

minutes. For starting frequency, refer to section 5.10.

in the pipe and converts it to an electrical signal.

The Drive senses and processes the signal in the

PID (Proportional, Integration, Derivative) control.

When operating in AUTOSTART mode, the Drive

increases and decreases the speed of the pump

motor as needed to maintain constant pressure in

the piping system.

Keypad

The keypad programs the Drive, monitors the

status of the pump, and displays faults if they

occur. Each button has a unique function, as

described in Figure 2. The LCD display shows a

text display of the status of the Drive’s operation.

Other LEDs light up to indicate when certain

buttons are pressed or certain events occur.

Fan

The Drive uses a thermostatically controlled

internal fan which operates automatically when

necessary to cool the Drive components.

Mounting the Drive

To mount the Drive as shown in Figure 6, follow

this procedure:

1. First, remove the cover by backing out screw

at bottom of front cover.

2. Push on backplate with thumbs while pulling

the cover toward you with index fingers,

creating a gap. See Figures 3 and 4.

3. Pull bottom of cover towards you; lift up on

cover and remove. See Figure 5.

4. With the cover removed, permanently mount

the Drive using the top slotted hole, plus

either the three bottom holes (for flat surface

mounting) or the center bottom hole (for

attaching to a post or stud). See Figure 6.

Gap

Figure 3 - Separate cover and backplate

Figure 4 - Gap between cover and backplate

Figure 5 - Pull out bottom of cover

5. Ensure the Drive’s ventilation holes are

not blocked and there is enough space

around it to allow free air flow (minimum

3” clearance on top, bottom, and sides).

See Figure 6. Once the Drive is mounted,

electrical wiring can be connected.

6. To reattach the Drive cover, hook the top of it

on backplate (be sure to leave a gap). Lower

Figure 9 - Basic Wiring Connections for Startup

Wiring

To allow for ease of wiring, the enclosure

wiring area is free of electronics other than

the terminals. Conduit holes and knockouts

are located so that the wire can be fed straight

through to the connectors, with minimal bending.

The terminals accept 6-14 AWG wire.

Installations that require larger wire gauge than

6AWG will require an external junction box. Run

6AWG wire from the Drive into the junction box,

then make external connections with wire nuts to

appropriately sized wire.

NOTICE For convenience in wiring, the input and

motor terminals unplug from the box. Pull them

down to remove them for ease of access, as

shown in Figure 8.

Verify that the terminal connectors are completely

seated when you replace them. It is best practice

to connect all output wires (larger wire gauge)

first, then all input wires.

Pump Connections

If the Pentek Intellidrive is used with above ground

motors not rated for Variable Frequency Drive

use, maximize motor life by limiting lead length

to 25 ft. Refer to the pump owner’s manual, the

National Electrical Code, and local codes for

proper wire size.

The output of the Drive is single phase (2-wire or

3-wire) or 3-phase, depending on motor selection

during startup.

The output power terminals (motor wire

connections) are located on the lower right side of

the Drive and are labeled R (Red), Y (Yellow), and

B (Black). See Tables 2 through 6 for suggested

wiresizes.

NOTICE 2-wire 1-phase connect to Y + B, not R + B.

Feed the motor cable through the 3/4” conduit

hole on the bottom right side and into the

appropriate terminals. If the wire is large enough

to require a larger conduit hole, remove the

1-1/4” knockout and use the appropriate conduit

connections. Attach the motor ground wire to the

grounding screw, located to the upper right of the

terminal block. Attach the motor power wires to

the terminals as shown in Figure 9.

NOTICE Drive does not sense motor temperature

and will not protect motor from over heating.

Pressure Tank Recommendations

Minimum tank size is two gallons. Use a pre-

charged pressure tank with Drive, as shown in

Figure 1. The tank size must equal at least 20

percent of the pump’s rated flow in gallons per

minute (GPM), but cannot be less than two gallons

capacity. For example, a pump rated at 7GPM

would require a tank of two gallons capacity or

larger. A pump rated at 50 GPM would require a 10

gallon tank or larger. Tanks larger than 10gallons

can be used, but may require adjustment of Wake

Delayparameter.

NOTICE Set pressure tank’s pre-charge to 70

percent of the system operating pressure. When

using an external set point as well as an internal

set point, pre-charge tank to 70 percent of the

lower setpoint of the two. Some applications may

require a different percentage when determining

the setpoint.

Transducer Connections

A 0-100 PSI 4-20 mA transducer is provided

with Drive. Install the transducer downstream of

tank, as shown in Figure 1. Install transducer in

a tee in a straight section of pipe with at least 1

foot of straight pipe on each side of the tee (i.e.,

all fittings must be at least 1 foot away from

transducer).

Feed transducer cable through the open 1/2”

conduit hole on bottom of the Drive enclosure.

As shown in Figure 9, connect the red wire of the

transducer cable to AI+, connect black wire to AI–,

and connect the green cable shield to the metal

cable shield screw.

To connect the transducer wires:

1. Strip wire ½ inch

2. Push spring terminal up with finger or slotted

screwdriver

3. Insert wires from bottom

4. Release spring terminal

Input Power Connections

The input power terminals are located on the

lower left side and are marked L1 and L2 (see

Figure 9). There is a ground screw for the input

ground wire to the right of the connector (torque

to 10 in lb). Feed wire through the 3/4” conduit

hole on the bottom left side and into appropriate

terminals. If wire is large enough to require a

larger conduit hole, remove the 1-1/4” knockout

and use appropriate conduitconnections.

To determine the correct wire sizes for

installation, see Table 3.

NOTICE The Pentek Intellidrive only accepts 230V

single phase input power. If incoming power does

not match this, have a qualified electrician alter

supply voltage to 230V/1Ph before connecting it to

the Drive. See specifications ratings in Section 8.2.

SECTION 8: Pentek Intellidrive™ Variable Frequency Drives

Ensure that the cover is installed before operating

the

Pentek Intellidrive.

Most installations will only require the initial

startup settings. However, the installer may need

to set additional parameters. Information about

accessing all parameters, explanations of their

functions, and procedures for changing parameter

values, will be found later in this section.

1. Program the Drive: Apply power to the

Service Factor Amps

To maximize pump performance, be sure to

enter the correct Service Factor Amps (SF

Amps) in the

Pentek Intellidrive

• EnteringSFAmpshigher than the motor

rating lets the Drive supply more amps to the

motor than the motor is designed for and may

allow the motor to overheat (see Table 8).

• EnteringSF Ampslower than the motor

rating limits the output amps to less than

the motor is designed for and will reduce the

performance of the pump.

• Forany1-Phase3-Wiremotor,thecorrect

Service Factor Amp rating for the Drive is Cap

SECTION 8: Pentek Intellidrive™ Variable Frequency Drives

The I/O terminals are located in the center of

the wiring compartment, as shown previously in

Figure9.

The Digital Input connections (I1 and I2) are used to

control the Drive based on the state of an external

device, such as a flow switch, moisture sensor,

alternator, or other device. Programming is needed

to activate any of these functions (see Table 9).

The Output Relay (O1) is used to control an external

device based on two states of Drive; either Running

the pump or Faulted. Programming is needed to

activate any of these functions (see Table 9).

Cable Installation

Three 1/2” conduit knockouts are provided on the

bottom of the Drive enclosure for the I/O wires.

Break out the closest 1/2” knockout and route the

wires through. Use a cord grip to prevent the wire

from rubbing and causing a short.

NOTICE Never run low voltage I/O wire through

the same conduit hole as the 230V input wires or

motor wires.

To connect the external wires to the terminals:

1. Strip wire ½ inch

2. Push spring terminal up with finger or slotted

screwdriver

3. Insert wires from bottom

4. Release spring terminal

Connection Examples

RS-485 Communications

RS-485 is a US-based telecommunications

standard for binary serial communications

between devices. It is the protocol, or set of

specifications, that needs to be followed to allow

devices that implement the standard to speak

to each other. A fully compliant RS-485 port is

included in the Pentek Intellidrive system to

permit serial connections among more than two

devices on an RS-485 compliant network. Figure

19 shows two-wire connection to the Drive.

The Pentek® Assistant defaults to a 4-20mA transducer

connected to AI2. The transducer is used to provide

pressure feedback to the drive. Transducers offered

by Pentek have either a red or brown power lead. The

red or brown lead should be connected to the +24V

powerconnection.

Transducers offered by Pentek have either a blue or black

output lead. The blue or black lead should be connected

to terminal 5. The Pentek U17-1286R transducer utilizes

shielded cable. The bare lead may be covered with green

shrink-wrap tubing. The bare lead is cable shielding, and

should be connected to terminal 1. The translucent lead

is unused, and should be tied off andinsulated.

9.6.1 Description of Information Required

by the Pentek Assistant

9905 Motor Nom Voltage: This is the nominal voltage

stated on the motor nameplate. If the motor is rated

for operation at multiple voltages, select the voltage

nearest the utility voltage. Ensure the motor connections

correspond to the voltage selected.

9906 Motor Nom Current: This is the nominal current

found on the motor nameplate. Do not use service

factoramps.

9907 Motor Nom Freq: This is the nominal frequency

found on the motor nameplate.

9908 Motor Nominal Speed: This is the nominal speed

found on the motor nameplate. Use the number on the

motor nameplate. Do not enter 3600, 1800, etc.

9909 Motor Nom Power: This is the nominal horsepower

found on the motor nameplate. Do not include service

factor unless the service factor is greater than 1.15.

2001 Min Speed (Required for Subs only): This is the

minimum speed the motor is allowed to run. This

minimum is set to prevent damage to the motor thrust

bearings. Refer to motor literature to determine setting.

4011 Internal Setpoint: This is the pressure that the

system will maintain.

4009 100% Value: This is the full scale reading of the

transducer. The 100% Value of a 200PSI transducer

is200PSI.

4023 PID Sleep Level: Operation below this rpm will

cause the drive to stop. Must never be below the shut-off

head RPM.

4025 Wake-Up Dev: This is the pressure drop that will

trigger the drive to restart. For example, if the set point is

60 PSI and the Wake-Up Deviation is 10 PSI, the drive will

restart at 50 PSI.

9.8 Helpful Hints

Alarm 2025 upon startup

This is a normal alarm, and occurs whenever motor data

is changed. The alarm shows for about 15 seconds while

the drive performs a motor calibration.

Fault 14 External Fault 1

External fault 1 is triggered when the VFD’s output

frequency exceeds motor nameplate frequency for more

than 10 seconds. The ON delay parameter controls

the time delay for this fault. If the system includes a

large tank, or requires more time to reach the setpoint,

increase parameter 1404 (PPC5) or 1806 (PPC3).

This fault is designed to protect against loss of prime,

broken shafts, etc. To disable this fault, adjust parameter

2002 Maximum speed, to the motor nameplate rpm.

Sleep

The Pentek drive monitors pump speed to determine

demand. The pump is shut off when the rpm goes below

parameter 4023: PID Sleep Level. Always set parameter

4023 high enough to trigger sleep mode during low

demand conditions. Note that the shut-off head at

parameter 4023: RPM, must be higher than the pressure

set-point.

The pressure setpoint can be determined by slowly

closing the discharge valve to confirm that the RPM

decreases to a level that triggers the sleep mode. The

discharge head can also be found by using the BEC2

program on the BEC2.net website.

Systems that use small tanks, or have a flat performance

curve, may cycle rapidly at intermediate flows. Correct

this by increasing Parameter 4024: PID Sleep Delay.

DO NOT increase parameter 4024 to a level that will

cause the pump to run with no demand. The water in the

pump can overheat.

Sleep Options

Other devices such as flow or float switches can be used

to trigger sleep mode. Parameter 4022 determines the

method to trigger sleep mode. These options can be used

for pump up, pump down, and other on/off applications.

Multiple Systems / Setpoints

The Pentek PPC Series Controller includes (2)

independent process control sets (groups 40 and 41).

Group 41 parameters can be selected using Digital Input

(DI3). When first set-up, groups 40 and 41 are identical.

A set can be changed later with parameters for a

secondprocess.

Constant Flow

After running the Pentek Assistant, the drive can be

configured for constant flow by adjusting parameters

4006: Units, and 4009: 100% Value.

Constant Flow Example 1:

Using a 4-20ma velocity meter with a range of

0 to 10 ft/sec. We want the display to be ft/sec.

Set 4006 to ft/sec

Set 4009 to 10

Constant Flow Example 2:

Same setup as example 1, but we have a 4” pipe and want

the display to be gpm.

Set 4006 to gpm

Set 4009 to 393 (this is the flow in a 4” pipe which results

in a 10 ft/sec velocity).

Constant Flow Example 3:

Using a 4-20ma flow meter with a range of 0 to 100 gpm.

We want the display to be gpm.

Set 4006 to gpm

Set 4009 to 100

SECTION 9: PPC Series 50/60 Hz Variable Frequency Drives

9.10 Reactors And Filters

Variable frequency drives produce voltage spikes that are

a function of voltage rise-time and length of motor cable.

In extreme cases peak voltage may exceed three times

the nominal operating voltage.

Reactors

A reactor is a resistance and inductance device that

reduces voltage spikes. It does this by both increasing the

voltage rise-time and improving the impedance match of

the cable and motor.

Filters

A filter combines a reactor with a capacitor network. The

capacitors absorb a portion of the voltage spikes. This

further reduces the peak voltage seen at the motor.

When to Use a Reactor or Filter

The chart below is a general guideline when choosing

between using a filter or reactor.

9.9 PPC3 and PPC5 Tank Sizing

These instructions are only for systems that require

tanks. Pressure tanks are generally required to maintain

system pressure during periods of low or no demand.

Tank pre-charge must be less than the pressure set point

– wake up deviation.

Tank can be sized using Boyle’s law (V1 x P1 = V2 x P2).

Units are in gallons and PSI.

Typically tanks are sized for approximately 20% of pump

capacity. For example, a 150 gpm pump typically requires

30 gallon total tank size.

SECTION 10: PPX NEMA Pump Panels

10.1 Description

The PPX series of pump control panels consist of a

manually operated fusible disconnect switch and a

magnetic contactor with a solid-state overload housed

in a NEMA enclosure. The fusible disconnect switch

provides motor branch short-circuit protection. The

contactor is proven in field applications where wide

voltage fluctuations may occur. The overload relays

provide motor overload protection.

The rainproof enclosure allows all routine operations to

be performed from the outside without opening the door.

The fusible disconnect switch handle is mechanically

interlocked with the enclosure door to prevent opening

the door before the handle is moved to the OFF position.

For better access during repair or inspection, the cover

may be removed by lifting the door upward and outward.

A latch is provided to prop the door open on windy days.

The overload relay incorporates a dial for field adjustment

of tripping current.

Install in conformance with National Electrical Code

and all local codes. Branch circuit protection must be

provided.

These controllers have all components arranged for easy

access from the front. The circuits are relatively simple

and circuit components are selected for trouble-free

operation. Periodically, depending on the environment

and duty, the panel should be inspected and cleaned.

Inspect all devices for loose bolts and nuts.

SECTION 11: Submersible Motor Controls

11.1 How it Works

Submersible Motor Controls act as an above ground

control system for you submersible motor. They provide

easy access to the “brains” of your motor, so you can

monitor, adjust and perform maintenance without

removing the motor.

There are three main groups of motor controls. Each of

these controls has a slightly different function, although

all serve the main purpose of providing control for the

motor.

Capacitor Start / Induction Run (CSIR)

A CSIR control uses a starting capacitor and a switch.

When voltage is first applied, the switch is closed and

the start capacitor is in the circuit. This provides extra

torque to bring the motor up to speed. The switch is often

referred to as a potential relay. The relay’s coil senses

voltage across the windings. When the windings get

close to full speed, they magnetize the coil and physically

breaks the connection to the start windings. This takes

not only the start windings out of the circuit, but the

starting capacitor as well. The motor then runs on the

main winding alone.

Capacitor Start / Capacitor Run (CSCR)

A CSCR control functions very similar to a CSIR control

except that in addition to the starting capacitor, it also

uses a running capacitor. This allows the start winding

to act as an auxiliary winding during operation. This

smooths out operation of the motor and provides greater

efficiency and a reduction in vibration and noise.

Plus Series Controls

The Pentek® PLUS series controls combine a CSCR

design and a control circuit to provide not only starting

power to the motor, but a switch to turn the control

on and off. The switch takes the form of a magnetic

contactor that uses a coil that physically closes the

contacts when energized. The contactor allows the

installer to use a pressure switch with a lower current

rating, since it is not switching the full amperage of the

motor.

11.2 Specifications

All Pentek Submersible Motor Controls are rated for

Indoor or Outdoor use and employ NEMA 3R enclosures.

12.1 How They Work

Pentek® motor protectors are designed to protect single

phase pumps from dry run, dead head, jammed impeller,

and over & under voltage conditions.

A calibration adjustment allows the motor protector to

be calibrated to specific pumping applications, thereby

reducing the possibility of false or nuisance tripping. A

micro drive based voltage and current sensing circuit

monitors for power fluctuations, over-current, and under-

current conditions. When an abnormality, such as loss

of suction, is detected, the motor protector deactivates

its output relay and immediately disconnects the pump

motor. The motor protector then activates its user-

selectable “Restart Delay” (Dry run recovery) timer.

When the timer counts to zero or power is removed and

reapplied, the motor protector reactivates its output relay

and turns the pump back on.

An infrared LED communicates directly with a hand-held

diagnostics tool called the Informer (sold separately). The

Informer displays 16 parameters including calibration

point, trip point, running points, and last fault.

NOTICE: The use of flow restrictors or unusually high

head pressures at the time of calibration may interfere

with the detection of dead head conditions.

Motor Protection

SECTION 12: Motor Protective Devices - 50/60 Hz

12.3 Mounting And Installation

Mount the Pentek® Motor Protector in a convenient

location in or near the motor control panel. If the location

is wet or dusty, then the Pentek Motor Protector should

be mounted in a NEMA 3R, 4, or 12 enclosure.

12.4 Wiring Connections

1. Connect one line from the fused disconnect to the

Motor protector’s “L1 IN” terminal. Run a wire from

the “L1 OUT” terminal to the other in-line controls

such as a pressure or float switch. See Figure 10-1.

2. Connect the other line from the fused disconnect to

Motor Protector “L2 IN” terminal. Run a wire from the

“L2 OUT” terminal to the other in-line controls such

as pressure or float switches. See Figure 12-1.

NOTICE: The Motor Protector may not detect a dead head

(blocked pipe) condition on applications where the pump

is undersized for a given motor or flow restrictors are

used on high stage pumps or low yield wells.

Calibration/Settings

NOTICE: Calibrate the Motor Protector during normal

pumping conditions.

1. Turn the RESTART DELAY / CALIBRATION adjustment

fully counter-clockwise to the “CAL.” position.

2. Apply power to the Motor Protector. The pump motor

should be running at this point.

3. The Motor Protector is being calibrated when the

CAL. LIGHT turns on (approximately 5 seconds).

Within 10seconds, proceed to step 4.

4. Set the RESTART DELAY / CALIBRATION adjustment

to the desired Restart Delay (Dry Well Recovery Time).

If you leave the RESTART DELAY / CALIBRATION

adjustment in the “CAL.” position, the unit will trip

off and stay off. Turn the adjustment out of the “CAL.”

position to start the pump.

Manual Reset Mode: If the RESTART DELAY /

CALIBRATION adjustment is set to “RESET”, the Motor

protector is in Manual Reset mode. After the Motor

Protector shuts down due to a voltage or load problem,

the RESTART DELAY / CALIBRATION adjustment must be

rotated out of the “RESET” position to restart the pump.

NOTICE: Any restart delay can be by-passed by rotating

the RESTART DELAY / CALIBRATION adjustment to

the “RESET” position and back to the desired Restart

Delaysetting.

Rapid Cycling Protection: Rapid cycling is defined as

more than four restarts in a 60 second period. The Motor

Protector will lockout upon detecting a rapid cycling

condition until power is removed and re-applied to the

L1 IN and L2 IN terminals. See Diagnostics Table for

instructions to diagnose a rapid cycling fault.

Troubleshooting

Individual Component Diagnostics

Potential Relays

Using ohm meter - Coil Resistance (2 to 5) should

measure according to the specification printed on the

wiringdiagram.

Using ohm meter - Contact resistance (1 to 2)

should measure close to zero; higher values indicate

deterioration of the contacts.

When the SMC first starts a faint click should be heard

very shortly after the pump activates

Start Capacitor

Using a capacitor meter – measured capacitance should

be within +20% of the rating printed on the capacitor (or

consult parts list for ratings).

Using ohm meter – the meter should quickly show

low resistance (ohms) and move slowly to show higher

resistance. Resistance should not be zero or open.

Physical Inspection – A foul smell or a buildup of black

soot indicates that a start capacitor has vented usually

because of heat or prolonged use.

Run Capacitor

Using a capacitor meter – measured capacitance should

be within +/- 6% of the rating printed on the capacitor (or

consult parts list for ratings).

Using ohm meter – the meter should quickly show

low resistance (ohms) and move slowly to show higher

resistance. Resistance should not be zero or open.

Physical Inspection – Run capacitors have a built in

fail safe device that disconnects the capacitor in case

of overheat, in the case of such an event the capacitor

willbulge.

Overloads

Push overload to ensure that it is reset.

Using ohm meter – connection resistance should

measure close to zero.

Magnetic Contactor

Using ohm meter – Coil Resistance should measure per

specification on wiring diagram.

Using ohm meter – Resistance between T1 & L1 and T2 &

L2 should measure close to zero with contacts manually

closed. Greater values indicates degradation of contacts.

Physical Inspection – Contacts should be free to move up

and down.

Measurements while running

Small Box – Measurements cannot be taken while

running, line voltage can be monitored with the cover off,

by placing a voltmeter across L1 & L2. Winding resistance

can be taken while motor is connected and should

correspond to manufacturers specification.

Fatal electrical shock hazard. Only qualified

persons should perform the following procedure.

Medium and Large Box - To take measurements while

running, remove the cover. Turn on the pump and allow

to cycle as usual. L1 to L2 should measure 230V +/- 10%,

it should not dip during operation. A clamp-on ammeter

can be used to measure amp draw along any number

ofcircuits.

The larger yellow wire or main leads can be used to

measure amp draw of the system, draw should spike and

then come in less than 1 second. Orange lead amp draw

should start out high and then drop out to become zero. If

the reading stays high there is a relay problem.

The voltage between Red and Yellow should measure

approximately 330V - higher values indicate no load;

lower values indicate the motor (CSCR or PSC only) is

not up to speed. Note that winding resistance cannot be

measured while the motor is attached to the control box.

14.1 Installation Checklist

This checklist can be used to preview and verify steps

in the installation of Pentek® equipment. Refer to

appropriate section of the manual for more information.

Electrical Power

❏ Verify that the electrical service transformers KVA

rating is adequate per the Table 4-2.

❏ Verify that motor voltage and frequency on the

nameplate match the power supply voltage.

❏ Verify that fuse sizes are appropriate for the

installation

❏ Verify that the pump, casing and power supply are

allgrounded.

❏ Inspect lightning arrestors for proper sized wire and

grounding. Do not rely solely on a grounding rod in the

earth.

❏ Verify that the cable size from the power supply box

to the pump is the correct size. See tables in

section 5-4.

Motor

❏ Lead Condition.

❏ Check insulation resistance.

❏ Verify nameplate information for the service needed.

❏ Verify that the motor is correctly sized to pump.

❏ Verify that fuses, heaters and other electrical

components are appropriate for the amp load.

❏ Fluid level.

Pump and Motor Assembly

❏ Verify pump shaft rotation.

❏ Verify that the pump rating matches the

siterequirements.

❏ Visually inspect pump and motor for electrical lead

condition and splice condition.

Installation

❏ Verify that the pipe joints are tight.

❏ Verify that check valves have been installed.

❏ Verify that the cable is supported with straps or tape

at least every 10 feet (3.05 m).

❏ Pump cooling.

❏ Start the pump and observe any noise, vibration, leaks

or overheating.

❏ Verify that the pump performance is as specified,

that the electrical current is balanced and

withinspecifications.

Check Valves

Check valve installation is necessary for proper pump

operation. The pump should have a check valve on its

discharge, or within 25 feet (7.62 m) of the pump. For

very deep wells, locate a check valve at least every

200feet (61 m).

• DO NOTinstallthecheckvalvemidwaybetween

the pump and the ground surface. Vibration in the

piping will resonate and may damage or destroy the

piping or pump. Adjust check valve spacing to avoid a

mid-pointplacement.

• Useonlyspringtypecheckvalves.Swingtypevalves

• Donotusedrain-backstylecheckvalves(drilled).

Check valves serve the following purposes:

• PreventBack-Spin:Withoutafunctioningcheck

valve, upon shutoff, the water drains back through

the pump, and cause it to rotate backwards. This can

create excessive wear on the thrust bearing, and if the

electrical configurations for single-phase power. The

samples below are based upon a system using a 1.5 HP,

20-22 gpm pump, with 400 feet of wire from electrical

disconnect to the motor. All configurations shown are

suitable methods for residential applications.

14.3 Sizing Submersible Pump, Motor,

and Tanks

Sizing a Submersible Pump

The following steps should be taken relative to properly

sizing the system.

1. Determine gpm of system and well.

2. Size of well casing and type.

3. Determine service pressure requirements.

4. Determine voltage and phase.

5. Determine discharge pipe size.

6. Calculate friction head loss.

7. Determine (total discharge) head.

8. Select the submersible pump for the above criteria,

and appropriate controls for the pump.

9. Select the proper size tank for minimum one minute

pump run time.

10. For starting frequency, refer to Section 5.10.

11. Determine the distance from the service entrance

panel to the pump motor.

12. Determine the size wire required based on the motors

maximum load amps and the distance from the

service entrance to the motor.

14.4 How to Select the Correct

Pumping Equipment

103

SECTION 14: Appendix

The answer to four basic questions will help select the

proper pump.

1. What is the size of the well? The inside diameter of

the well must be known so that the proper size pump

and drop pipe can be determined.

2. What is the submergence?

The vertical distance

in feet from the pump to the water level while the

pump is operating (see Figure 12-1). If the pump is

installed away from the well and is on higher ground,

this elevation must also be included. This must not be

confused with the standing waterlevel.

3. What should the average discharge pressure be?

Usual average discharge pressure is 50lbs. – half way

between the 40 lbs. to 60 lbs. switch setting of most

water systems. More pressure is needed when the

tank is installed away from the pump and at a higher

level, or when house or yard fixtures are above the

pump and tank, and a larger pump must be used.

4. What capacity is required? The discharge capacity

of the pump in gallons per minute that is needed

for satisfactory service. The pump should have

enough capacity so that it can deliver the total water

requirement in 2 hours of continuous operation. See

Table 12-1 for average water requirements.

Installation Terminology

Standing or Static Water Level – distance from top of

well to natural water level when pump is not operating.

Drawdown Distance – distance water level drops while

pump is operating.

Drawdown or Pumping Water Level – standing water

level plus drawdown.

Submergence – distance submersible pump intake

screen is installed below drawdown level.

Elevation – vertical distance between top of well and

service inlet.

Pump Setting – distance from top of well to pump

inletscreen.

Service Pressure – pressure required (in PSI) at

serviceinlet.

Friction Loss –loss of pressure due to friction of water

flowing through pipe and fittings.

Head – discharge head (in feet) delivered when pump is

operating at desired capacity.

Horizontal Pipe Run – horizontal distance between

service inlet and well.

“Top of Well” also means “Pitless Adapter Level” or

wellexit.

“Service Inlet” also means “Storage Tank Inlet”.

Selecting a Pump

TIP: PSI can be converted to equivalent feet of head by

multiplying by 2.31.

i.e. 60 psi = 138.6 feet of head

To choose a motor for your submersible pump you first

must know:

• FlowrequiredinGallonsperMinute

• Totalhead(Pumpinglevel,frictionlosses

and service pressure required)

Friction loss must be calculated, and depends upon total

length, diameter and type of pipe plus additions for each

fitting (valves, elbows...) in the line.

Refer to the product catalog for friction loss charts.

SECTION 14: Appendix

EXAMPLE

Assume we want 16 GPM at 60 PSI from a pump

drawdown level (pumping level) 100 feet below the

serviceinlet.

We have a 35 foot horizontal run of 1 1/4” plastic pipe

with two gate valves and four 90° elbows.

To find the Friction losses we must refer to friction loss

charts for pipe and fittings.

We find:

• 135feetofpipeforthetotalpiperun(100+35).

• 10equivalentfeetofpipeforthegatevalves(2x5)

Add these for the total equivalent length of pipe = 173

• Inthefrictionlosscharts,findthelossofheadfor

Add: 7 Friction loss

100 Pumping level

139 60 PSI service pressure required (60

x2.31=138.6. Round to 139)

= 246 Total Dynamic Head.

From this sample curve we would choose the

11/2HPpump.

Locate a pump with a best efficiency point near the

desired flow rate (16 GPM) that meets the total head

requirements (246 TDH).

Selecting a pump in this manner gives you the most

efficient pump for your application.

14.5 Sizing Tanks

Tank should be sized to accomodate starting frequency in

Section 5.10.

Refer to the dealer catalog for tank selection. Otherwise,

the following procedure can be used.

Drawdown based on Boyle’s Law

Procedure:

1. Identify drawdown multiplier relating to

specific application.

2. Insert multiplier (X) into the following formula:

Pump GPM x Min Run Time = Minimum Tank

Multiplier (X) Capacity Required

Example: An example of a 20 GPM pump with a

minimum run time of 1 minute, installed on a

50-70 PSIG system pressure range:

20 GPM x 1 minute = 83.3 minimum U.S.

.24 (factor) gallon tank capacity

NOTICE: Drawdown will be affected by operating

temperature of the system, accuracy of the pressure

switch and gauge, the actual pre-charge pressure and the

rate offill.
