Product introduction

1. Product introduction
The "Smart Motor" communicates via the CU301
status box through the power leads.
It is not necessary to run any additional wires down the
well. Communication with the pump provides Constant
Pressure Control and the highly useful ability to
change the pump performance while the pump is
installed in the well. Like the SQ motor, this is also a 2wire motor designed for single-phase operation.

Dry-running protection
The pumps are protected against dry running. A value
of Pcut-out ensures cut-out of the pump in case of lack
of water in the borehole thus preventing a burnout of
the motor.
Pcut-out is factory-set both for the SQ and SQE, SQENE pumps.

SQ, SQE pumps feature an innovative motor design
incorporating permanent-magnet technology. By
combining permanent-magnet motors and a Grundfos
micro-frequency converter, we are able to deliver
unmatched performance and the ability to control and
communicate with the pump in ways never before
possible. A few of the features that result from this
combined technology are Constant Pressure Control,
Soft-Start, and Integrated Dry-Run Protection, but
these are just a few of the features these pumps offer.
SQ pump models operate at a constant speed much
like today’s conventional pumps. The difference is that
SQ delivers the benefits of an electronically controlled
permanent-magnet motor that cannot be achieved with
a conventional induction motor.

High pump efficiency
The hydraulic pump components are polyamide
reinforced with 30 % glass fiber. The hydraulic design
provides for high pump efficiency resulting in low
energy consumption and therefore low energy costs.
High motor efficiency
The motors are based on a permanent magnet rotor
(PM motor) featuring high efficiency within a wide load
range.

Overvoltage and undervoltage protection

The pump design features "floating" impellers (not
fastened to the shaft). Each impeller has its own
tungsten carbide/ceramic bearing. The construction
and materials ensure high wear resistance to sand for
long product life.

Overvoltage and undervoltage may occur in case of
unstable voltage supply.

TM01 3141 3498

Product introduction

Wear resistance

Fig. 3

The pump will cut out if the voltage falls below 150 V or
rises above 315 V. The motor is automatically cut in
again when the voltage again falls within the
permissible voltage range. Therefore no extra
protection relay is needed.

Overload protection

Example of Grundfos floating impeller

Protection against upthrust
Starting up a pump with a very low counter pressure
involves the risk of the entire impeller stack being
lifted, also called upthrust. Upthrust may cause
breakdown of both pump and motor.
SQ, SQE, SQE-NE motors are fitted with a top bearing
protecting both pump and motor against upthrust, thus
preventing breakdown during the critical start-up
phase.
Excellent starting capabilities
The integrated electronic unit of the motor features soft
starting. Soft start reduces the starting current and
thus gives the pump a smooth and steady
acceleration.
The soft starter minimizes the risk of wear on the pump
and prevents overloading of the mains during start-up.
The excellent starting capabilities are a result of the
high locked-rotor torque of the permanent magnet
motor together with the few pump stages. The high
starting reliability also applies in case of low voltage
supply.

Exposure of the pump to heavy load causes the
current consumption to rise. The motor will
automatically compensate for this by reducing the
speed to 3000 rpm. Further overload will lead to stop.
If the rotor is being prevented from rotating, this will
automatically be detected and the power supply will be
cut out. Consequently, no extra motor protection is
needed.

Overtemperature protection
A permanent magnet motor gives off very little heat to
its surroundings. In combination with an efficient
internal circulation system leading the heat away from
the rotor, stator and bearings, this ensures optimum
operating conditions for the motor.
As an extra protection, the electronic unit has a built-in
temperature sensor. When the temperature rises too
high, the motor is cut out; when the temperature has
dropped, the motor is automatically cut in again.

Reliability
The motors are built for high reliability and feature:
• Tungsten carbide / ceramic bearings
• thrust bearings protecting against downthrust

Current [A]

• product life time equal to conventional AC motors.

The integrated protection of all motors prevents
damage to the motor in case the voltage moves
outside the permissible voltage range.

The SQE motor enables continuously variable speed
control from 3,000 to 10,700 rpm. The pump can be set
to operate in any duty point in the range between the
3,000 and 10,700 rpm performance curves of the
pump. Consequently, the pump performance can be
adapted to any specific requirement.
The variable speed control facility requires the use of
the CU 300 or CU 301 control unit.
For the calculation of pump speed, the program
"SQE Speed Calculation" is available on CD-ROM as
an accessory.

Applications

Constant-pressure control with
CU 301 - residential water supply
When the pressure in the tank is 7 psi (0.5 bar) below
setpoint, the pump will start. The pump will run until the
pressure is 7 psi (0.5 bar) above setpoint. This way of
operation is called on/off operation.

The system maintains a constant pressure within the
maximum pump performance in spite of a varying
water consumption.
The pressure is registered by the pressure sensor and
transmitted to the CU 301. The CU 301 adjusts the
pump performance accordingly.

At a flow higher than approximately 1 gpm (0.18 m3/h),
the pressure will drop quickly and the pump will start
immediately and maintain a constant pressure.

Function
When a tap is opened the pressure in the tank will start
to drop. At a flow lower than approximately 1 gpm
(0.18 m3/h), the pressure will drop slowly.

During operation, the CU 301 will regulate the pump
speed to maintain a constant pressure. If there is no
consumption, the pump will boost the pressure to 7 psi
(0.5 bar) above setpoint and stop after a few seconds.

Applications

Setting of operating parameters
Using the R100 and the CU 300 enables change of the
motor speed and thereby setting of the pump to a
specific performance.

Dry-running protection

The software program "SQE Speed Calculation" has
been developed for the calculation of the speed in
order to obtain the required flow rate and head.

If the speed of the SQE pump is reduced by more than
1000 rpm, the Pcut-out value must be readjusted by
means of the CU 300 and R100.

The value Pcut-out, ensuring dry-running protection, is
factory-set for the SQE pump.

CU 300
R100

Note: The SQE pump must not be started until the
pump has been completely submerged below the water
table. However, the change of the motor speed can be
made even if the pump is not submerged.

Functioning and benefits
Manual speed control of the SQE pumps is possible by
means of R100 and an SPP 1 potentiometer.
This application is especially suitable for sampling
from groundwater monitoring wells. The monitoring
well is purged at high speed and the sample is taken at
a low speed (quiet flow). For contaminated
groundwater the SQE-NE type range is recommended.
In case frequent sampling is required, dedicated
installation of the pump is recommended, thus
eliminating wear caused by frequent assembly and
dismantling the installation.

Applications

SQE with manual speed control
Furthermore, dedicated installations saves the costs of
assembling and dismantling the installation.
Important: Through dedicated installation the transfer
of contamination from one monitoring well to another is
avoided.
Dry-running protection
The value Pcut out, ensuring dry-running protection, is
factory-set for the SQE pump. If the speed of the pump
is reduced more than 1,000 rpm, the value of Pcut out
must be readjusted by means of CU 300 and R100.

Installation

4. Installation
The SQ and SQE, SQE-NE may be installed vertically,
horizontally or in any position in between.
Note: The pump must not fall below the horizontal
level in relation to the motor.
The following features ensure simple installation of the
pump:
• Built-in check valve with spring
• low weight ensuring user-friendly handling
• installation in 3" or larger boreholes
• only on/off switch is needed, which means that no
extra motor starter / starter box is necessary.
For horizontal installation a flow sleeve is
recommended in order to:
• ensure sufficient flow velocity past the motor and
thus provide sufficient cooling
• prevent motor and electronic unit from being buried
in sand or mud.

Sizing and selection

5. Sizing and selection
System sizing guide
Step 1
Calculate minimum head requirements at no flow conditions:
Hmax (required) = dynamic head + system pressure (in feet) + above grade elevation + friction loss
Step 2
Select pump from chart as follows:
• Choose model family based on the desired flow rate (i.e. 15SQE for a flow rate of 15 gpm)
• Select the first model with a value in Column 2 greater than the Hmax calculated in Step 1
(For example: the choice for a 22 gpm model with an Hmax of 140 ft would be the 22SQE-160).
• Double check your selection in the performance curves; see 7. SQ curve charts on p. 18.

Menu OPERATION
Setpoint setting

1.1
From factory, the pump is set to maximum speed,
10,700 rpm. R100 makes it possible to reduce the
pump speed by changing the setpoint. The speed can
be set to 3,000 - 10,700 rpm, at 100 rpm intervals.
The unit of the setpoint is automatically changed
according to the unit of the sensor connected to sensor
input 1.
Example: Sensor input 1 is connected to a pressure
sensor using the unit feet (ft) and the range 0-60.
Consequently, the setpoint of display 1.1 can be set to
between 0-60 ft.

2.6
The number of operating hours and the number of
starts are values accumulated from the time of
installation and they cannot be reset.
Both values are stored in the motor electronics, and
they are kept even if the CU 300 is replaced.
The number of operating hours is registered every two
hours of continuous operation.

• setting range unit: m3/h, m, %, gpm, ft
• sensor minimum value: 0-249 (0, 1, 2, 3.....249)

2.9
In display 2.9, the water quantity (m3)* pumped is
shown. The value shown is the accumulated flow
registered by the sensor selected in display 3.11.
The power used to pump 1 m3 is shown in the display
as energy per m3 (kWh/m3).
It is possible to read the status of the accumulated flow
and energy per m3 at any time.

*Water quantity in units of gpm can be chosen.

Features
User interface
The user interface offers these possibilities:
• Local operation via a control panel with graphic
display where the menu structure is based on the
well-known system from Grundfos E-pumps.
• Monitoring of operating status via indicator lights
and signal relays.
• Display of alarm or warning and logging of the last
five alarms and warnings.

Functions
Control mode: Constant pressure
The CU331SP has only one control mode, Constant
pressure. The pressure is kept constant,
independently of the flow rate.

CU331SP variable frequency drive

Applications
For 4" or larger wells. Main applications:
•
•
•
•

Domestic and light commercial water supply
irrigation
livestock watering
water transfer.

System components
• Compact, efficient, and reliable variable frequency
drive
• rugged stainless steel pump end and proven,
reliable, 3-phase motor
• pressure sensor
• diaphragm tank (sold separately).

Start-up guide

TM05 5801 4012

The CU331SP has a start-up guide, which is launched
at the first power up. Parameters are set manually on
the basis of the installation. The start-up guide can be
repeated, if necessary.
Thanks to the start-up guide, the installer can quickly
set a few parameters and put the CU331SP into
operation.
Direction of rotation test
During start-up, the CU331SP automatically tests and
sets the correct direction of rotation without changing
the cable connections. The direction of rotation test
can be performed manually if it fails for any reason.

Fig. 21 CU331SP variable frequency drive and sensor

Dry-running protection
To protect the pump, the CU331SP will automatically
set up dry-run protection so that water shortage can be
detected. The dry-run alarm will automatically reset 30
minutes after the alarm is declared.
Low-flow stop function
The low-flow stop function is used for changing
between on/off operation at low flow rate and
continuous operation at high flow rate.
The low-flow stop function protects the pump and
saves energy.

Control mode
The CU331SP has been developed specifically to
operate submersible pumps in Constant Pressure
mode. This Closed-Loop control mode uses an analog
pressure transducer to provide pressure feedback to
the drive.

Operating modes

Low flow and stop functions
The pump will check the flow regularly by reducing the
speed for a short time. If there is no or only a small
change in pressure, this means that there is low flow.
The speed will be increased until the stop pressure
(actual setpoint + 0.5 x ΔH) is reached and the pump
will stop after a few moments. The pump will restart at
the latest when the pressure has fallen to the start
pressure (actual setpoint - 0.5 x ΔH).

Operating conditions for the stop
function
It is only possible to use the stop function if the system
incorporates a pressure sensor, a non-return valve and
a diaphragm tank.
The non-return valve must always be installed before
the pressure sensor.
Diaphragm tank
Pressure sensor

CU331SP variable frequency drive

Automatic setting
The CU331SP automatically tests and sets the correct
direction of rotation without changing the cable
connections.
Automatic setting requires a sensor.
This test is not suitable for all pump types and will in
certain cases not be able to determine for certainty the
correct direction of rotation. In these cases, the
CU331SP changes over to manual setting where the
direction of rotation is determined on the basis of the
installer’s observations.
Manual setting when the direction of rotation is not
visible
The correct direction of rotation is set manually without
changing the cable connections. This requires that it is
possible to observe the head or flow rate.

Diaphragm tank
The stop function requires a diaphragm tank of a
certain minimum size. The tank must be installed as
close as possible after the pump and the precharge
pressure must be 0.7 x actual setpoint.
Recommended diaphragm tank size:

If a diaphragm tank of the above size is installed in the
system, the factory setting of ΔH is the correct setting.
If the tank installed is too small, the pump will start and
stop too often.

The CU331SP shows the following data:
• power consumption
• operating hours
• measured value
• speed
• input power
• motor current.
The status information can be shown in the display.
Power consumption
The value of the power consumption is an
accumulated value calculated from the pump’s startup
date and cannot be reset. No additional sensor is
required.
Operating hours
The value of operating hours is an accumulated value
calculated from the pump’s startup date and cannot be
reset. No additional sensor is required.
Measured value
Sensor display will show the actual pressure as
received from the pressure transducer.
Speed
Display will show the motor speed in RPM's
(calculated).
Input power

Setting the direction of rotation
The start-up guide is started the first time the
CU331SP is connected to supply voltage. Then while
going through the start-up guide, the CU331SP tests
and sets the correct direction of rotation without
changing the cable connections to the motor.
The correct direction of rotation can be set in these
ways:
• automatic setting.
• manual setting when the direction of rotation is not
visible.

The total leakage current of all the electrical equipment
in the installation must be taken into account.
During start and in asymmetrical supply systems, the
leakage current can be higher than normal and may
cause the ELCB to trip.

b

The motor requires no external motor protection. The
CU331SP protects the motor against thermal
overloading and blocking.
Protection against overcurrent
The CU331SP has an internal overcurrent protection
for overload protection on the motor output.
Protection against mains voltage transients

CU331SP electrical connection
Ensure the correct grounding and protection
procedures are used for the installation. Before the
electrical installation, ensure that the power supply and
other voltage inputs are switched off.

Electrical protection
Protection against electric shock, indirect contact
The leakage current to ground exceeds 3.5 mA, and a
reinforced ground connection is required.
Protective conductors must always have a yellow/
green (PE) or yellow/green/blue (PEN) color marking.
Instructions according to EN IEC 61800-5-1:
• The CU331SP must be stationary, installed
permanently and connected permanently to the
mains supply.
• The ground connection must be carried out with
duplicate protective conductors or with a single
reinforced protective conductor with a cross-section
of minimum AWG 7 (10 mm2).

The CU331SP is protected against mains voltage
transients according to EN 61800-3, second
environment.
Mains and motor connection
The supply voltage and frequency are marked on the
CU331SP nameplate. Make sure that the CU331SP is
suitable for the power supply of the installation site.
The maximum output voltage of the CU331SP is equal
to the input.
Example: if the supply voltage is rated at 208V choose
a 208V motor for operation.
Mains switch
A mains switch can be installed before the CU331SP
according to local regulations. See fig. 32.
Wiring diagram
The wires in the terminal box must be as short as
possible. Excepted from this is the ground wire, which
must be so long that it is the last one to be
disconnected in case the cable is inadvertently pulled
out of the cable entry.

The CU331SP and the supply system must be
protected against short-circuit.
Grundfos requires that the back-up fuses are used for
protection against short-circuit.
The CU331SP offers complete short-circuit protection
in case of a short-circuit on the motor output.

EMC-correct installation

RFI filters

This section gives guidelines for good practice when
installing the CU331SP. Follow these guidelines to
meet EN 61800-3, first environment.
• Use only motor and signal cables with a braided
metal screen in applications without output filter.
• There are no special requirements to supply cables,
apart from local requirements.
• Leave the screen as close to the connecting
terminals as possible. See fig. 44.
• Avoid terminating the screen by twisting the ends.
See fig. 45. Use cable clamps or EMC screwed
cable entries instead.
• Connect the screen to frame at both ends for both
motor and signal cables. If the controller has no
cable clamps, connect only the screen to the
CU331SP.
• Avoid unscreened motor and signal cables in
electrical cabinets with variable frequency drives.
• Make the motor cable as short as possible in
applications without output filter to limit the noise
level and minimize leakage currents.
• Screws for frame connections must always be
tightened whether a cable is connected or not.
• Keep main cables, motor cables and signal cables
separated in the installation, if possible.
Other installation methods may give similar EMC
results if the above guidelines for good practice are
followed.

To meet the EMC requirements, the CU331SP comes
with the following types of built-in radio frequency
interference filter (RFI).

Line disturbance and transient protection
To protect itself from AC line voltage disturbances, the
CU331SP monitors the input power supply and
interrupts drive operation in the event of phase loss or
imbalance. Transients on the AC line are suppressed
by MOVs as well as zener diodes for extreme
transients. The CU331SP meets VDE 0160 (European
standard - 2.3 x line voltage for 1.3 msec) for transient
protection.

• Replacement
• CAD drawings.

Catalog
This section is based on fields of application and pump types,
and contains
• technical data
• curves (QH, Eta, P1, P2, etc) which can be adapted to the
density and viscosity of the pumped liquid and show the
number of pumps in operation
• product photos
• dimensional drawings
• wiring diagrams
• quotation texts, etc.

Literature
In this section you can access all the latest documents of a given
pump, such as
• product guides
• installation and operating instructions
• service documentation, such as Service kit catalog
and Service kit instructions
• quick guides
• product brochures, etc.

Service
This section contains an easy-to-use interactive service catalog.

This section is based on different fields of application and
installation examples, and gives easy step-by-step instructions in
how to
• select the most suitable and efficient pump for your installation
• carry out advanced calculations based on energy
consumption, payback periods, load profiles, life cycle costs,
etc.
• analyse your selected pump via the built-in life cycle cost tool
• determine the flow velocity in wastewater applications, etc.

Replacement
In this section you find a guide to selecting and comparing
replacement data of an installed pump in order to replace the
pump with a more efficient Grundfos pump.
The section contains replacement data of a wide range of pumps
produced by other manufacturers than Grundfos.
Based on an easy step-by-step guide, you can compare
Grundfos pumps with the one you have installed on your site.
When you have specified the installed pump, the guide will
suggest a number of Grundfos pumps which can improve both
comfort and efficiency.

CAD drawings
In this section it is possible to download 2-dimensional (2D) and
3-dimensional (3D) CAD drawings of most Grundfos pumps.
These formats are available in WebCAPS:
2-dimensional drawings:
• .dxf, wireframe drawings
• .dwg, wireframe drawings.
3-dimensional drawings:
• .dwg, wireframe drawings (without surfaces)
• .stp, solid drawings (with surfaces)
• .eprt, E-drawings.
