2.3.2  Thermal Cutout

Unless otherwise specified, all Chempump pumps are fitted with 
thermal cut-outs. The cut-out is a heat-sensitive bimetallic switch 
mounted in intimate contact with the stator windings. It is to be 
wired in series with the holding coil in the starter box by remov-
ing a jumper.  Refer to 

Table 2-2

 for TCO maximum holding coil 

currents.

Thermal cut-outs in Class R insulated motors are set to open 
at 415˚F. Depending on the application, specially set TCO's are 
sometimes provided. The pump order data sheet indicates the 
TCO setting. If the motor cuts out because of TCO action, there 
will be a time delay before the motor can be restarted. The mo-
tor must be restarted manually. 

DO NOT RESTART UNTIL YOU 

DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE OVER-HEATING.

Caution!

The thermal cutout switch does not provide protection 
against fast heat buildup resulting from locked rotor con-
ditions, single phasing, or heavy overloads. This protection 
must be provided for by the current overload relay heaters 
in the magnetic starter. The rating of the heaters should 
be high enough to avoid nuisance cut outs under running 
loads, but must not be oversized. Refer to

 

Table 2-3

 

for 

starting and running electrical characteristics. It is recom-
mended that “quick trip”, class 10 or less, type heaters 
be used.

2.3.3  Starting Equipment

Motor starters (normally not supplied with Chempump pumps) 
should be sized to handle the load required per the National Elec-
trical Code (NEC). Start KVA, Full Load KW, Full Load amps and 
Full Load KVA  data are listed in 

Table 2-3

.

Thermal overload to protective devices in the starters should be 
sized for the amperage shown on the Chempump nameplate. 
DO NOT size heaters in excess of 10% of full load amp rating. In 

order to provide complete protection for Chempump motors un-
der all conditions, it is recommended that “quick trip” (Class 10) 
type Thermal overload to protective devices be used in the start-
ers where available. Standard type thermal overload to protective 
devices can be used if these “quick trip” type thermal overload 
to protective devices are not available. Standard thermal overload 
to protective devices provide adequate protection for Chempump 
motors under starting or normal running conditions, but require a 
greater length of time than “quick trip” type thermal overload to 
protective devices to cut out. This may not protect the meter if the 
motor is subject to locked rotor or overload conditions. Also, see 

Tables 2-3

or

 for additional electrical wiring data for 

the most common Chempump motor sizes to assist in the electri-
cal installation of the unit.

2.3.4  CASE I - 460 VOLT, 3-PHASE TEIKOKU. See 

Figure 

2-2

.

Typical 3-phase across-the-line magnetic starter with start-stop 
push button station shown. Thermoswitch (thermal cut-out in-
side Teikoku motor) is wired in series with holding coil circuit by 
removing jumper between over load cut-outs as shown.

Be sure to size heaters properly. Rating should be as close as pos-
sible to current draw noted on pump nameplate. 

2.3.5  CASE II - All other voltages (not to exceed 600 

volts), 3-PHASE TEIKOKU.  See

 

Figure 2-3

.

Use transformer with primary and 115 volt secondary.  Use prop-
erly rated holding coil (115 volt).  Wire Thermoswitch as for 460 
volt systems described in Case 1.

2.3.6  Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Power Supply

NC-Series pumps can be operated with a VFD power supply. The 
VFD should be a Pulse Width Modulated Drive selected for the 
appropriate voltage class of the motor, i.e. 400V class for 460V 
motors, and suitable to handle the full load current of the motor. 
The VFD should always be sized based on full load nameplate 
current and not the listed horse power (hp). Sizing based on hp 
could lead to an undersized drive being selected. The drive should 
be programmed to ensure a linear relationship between voltage 
to frequency (V/F) and frequencies should be limited to the range 
of 25-65 Hz. Operation at 65 Hz assumes the motor will not oper-
