28. Insulation resistance
29. Maintenance and service
29.1 Cleaning of the motor
Keep the motor cooling fins and fan blades clean to ensure
sufficient cooling of the motor and electronics.
29.2 Relubrication of motor bearings
3-10 hp pumps
The motor bearings are of the closed type and greased for life.
The bearings cannot be relubricated.
15-30 hp pumps
The motor bearings are of the open type and must be relubricated
regularly. The motor bearings are prelubricated on delivery.
The built-in bearing monitoring function will give a warning
indication on the R100 when the motor bearings are due to be
relubricated.
When relubricating the first time, use the double quantity of
grease as the lubricating channel is still empty.
The recommended grease type is a polycarbamide-based
lubricating grease.
29.3 Replacement of motor bearings
15-30 hp motors have built-in bearing monitoring function which
will give a warning indication on the Grundfos Go or R100 when
the motor bearings are due to be replaced.
29.4 Replacement of varistor (only 15-30 hp)
The varistor protects the pump against voltage transients.
If voltage transients occur, the varistor will be worn over time and
need to be replaced. The more transients, the more quickly the
varistor will be worn. When it is time to replace the varistor,
Grundfos GO, R100 and PC Tool E-products will indicate this as a
warning.
A Grundfos technician is required for replacement of the varistor.
Contact your local Grundfos company for assistance.

30.1 Supply voltage
3 x 440-480 V - 10 %/+ 10 %, 60 Hz - 2 %/+ 2 %, PE.
3 x 208-230 V - 10 %/+ 10 %, 60 Hz - 2 %/+ 2 %, PE.

/ 8 AWG.
Use min. 158 °F (70 °C) copper conductors only.
Recommended fuse sizes
Motor sizes from 3 - 7.5 hp: Max. 16 A.
Motor size 10 hp: Max. 32 A.
Standard as well as quick-blow or slow-blow fuses may be used.
30.2 Overload protection
The overload protection of the E-motor has the same
characteristic as an ordinary motor protector. As an example, the
E-motor can stand an overload of 110 % of I
nom
for 1 min.
30.3 Leakage current
The leakage currents are measured in accordance with
EN 61800-5-1.
&DXWLRQ
3-10 hp
Do not measure the insulation resistance of
motor windings or an installation incorporating
E-pumps using high voltage megging equipment,
as this may damage the built-in electronics.
&DXWLRQ
15-30 hp
Do not measure the insulation resistance of an
installation incorporating E-pumps using high
voltage megging equipment, as this may damage
the built-in electronics.
The motor leads can be disconnected separately
and the insulation resistance of the motor
windings can be tested.

Before relubrication, remove the bottom plug in
the motor flange and the plug in the bearing
cover to ensure that old and excess grease can
escape.
