8.3 Mechanical failure
If the pump is running dry, the temperature will
quickly increase which can be dangerous,
depending on how long time the pump is
running dry.
If there is any leaking at start up or leaking arises
during operation, the high pressure can lead to
eye or skin damage.
Leaking can result in
fl
ooding, which again can
cause a risk of slipping, tripping or falling.
If water is dripping into the electric motor; it can
lead to electric shock,
fi
re, short of circuit or even
death. In order to avoid water dripping into the
electric motor, see Installation and commission-
ing, chapter 5 and Operation, chapter 6.
Electrical
hazard
8.4 Electrical failure
If the wiring/connection of the electric motor is
not correct or the earth connection is missing, it
can lead to electric shock, burn damages,
fi
re or
even death.
If a VFD is used and wrongly programmed, it can
damage the pump and lead to high tempera-
tures or other dangers.
Therefore all electrical installation work must
only be carried out by authorized personnel in
accordance with EN60204-1 and/or local
regulations.
8.5 Responsibility
Danfoss takes no responsibility for any other
abnormal injuries, risks or damages that could
arise caused by abnormal conditions, vibrations,
corrosion, abrasives, foreign objects or excessive
temperatures and shall not be liable for any
consequential or incidental damages.
8.6 Scrapping criteria
Whether the pump can be repaired or need to be
scrapped depends on how damaged the internal
parts are or how damaged the whole unit is.
Please use appendix 6, Trouble shooting guide as
guideline or send the pump to Danfoss head-
quarter in Denmark for evaluation.
For other observations or troubles, please see
appendix 7, Right and Wrong which gives good
advises in design, installation, wiring and
troubleshooting.
