Electrical Connection
Before commissioning an expert should check that one of the necessary electrical protective devices
is available. Earthing, neutral, earth leakage circuit breakers, etc. must comply with the regulations
of the local electricity supply authority and a qualified person should check that these are in perfect
order.
ATTENTION!
The power supply system on site must comply with VDE or other local regulations
with regard to cross-sectional area and maximum voltage drop. The voltage stated on
the nameplate of the pump must correspond to that of the mains
The power supply cable must be protected by an adequately dimensioned slow-blow fuse corresponding to the
rated power of the pump.
The incoming power supply as well as the connection of the pump itself to the terminals on the control
panel must comply with the circuit diagram of the control panel as well as the motor connection
diagrams and must be carried out by a qualified person.
All relevant safety regulations as well as general good technical practice must be complied with.
ATTENTION!
For use in the open air, the following VDE regulations apply:
Submersible pumps used outdoors must be fitted with a power cable of at least 10 m length. Other regulations
may apply in different countries.
For pumps intended to be used in outdoor fountains, garden ponds and similar places, the pump is to be
supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding
30 mA.
NOTE:
Please consult your electrician.

Temperature monitoring
Thermal sensors in the stator windings protect the motor from overheating.
Piranha motors are fitted with bimetallic thermal sensors in the stator as standard in Piranha-PE and
Ex Piranha-S, and as an option in non-Ex Piranha-S.
ATTENTION:
Explosion-proof pumps may only be used in explosive zones with the thermal sensors connected.

Seal monitoring
Piranha-PE and Piranha-S pumps are supplied with a moisture sensor (DI), to detect and alert to the ingress of
water into the motor and oil chambers.
DI is optional with Piranha-S, and in the Ex-version monitors only the motor chamber.
NOTE! Running the Piranha-PE pump with the thermal and/or moisture sensors disconnected will
invalidate related warranty claims.
