3.2 Insulating the pump housing

If the pump is installed in a cabinet or fitted with 
insulation shells, the inside air temperature must 
be evaluated. If you expect constant ambient air 
temperatures higher than 130 °F (54 °C), please 
contact Grundfos.

3.3 Electrical installation

The motor is protected by the electronics in 
the control box and requires no external 
motor protection.

UL-approved ALPHA1 26-99/ALPHA2 26-99 
circulators are equipped with a conduit box 
for easy installation of the power cable.

Inrush current

The inrush current is the charge current to the 
electrolytic capacitor in the power supply to the 
electronics. The maximum current amplitude 
depends on the power supply and the complete 
wiring from the distributor transformer to the 
pump. The pump is internally controlled by a 
small variable frequency drive (VFD) running on 
a DC voltage. Therefore, the supply voltage is 
rectified to a DC voltage before it reaches the 
VFD.
The load of electronically commutated motors 
(ECM) behaves as a capacitive load and not as 
a motor load as in a standard pump. When the 
power supply is switched on, the capacitor will 
behave as a short circuit (as it is "empty", i.e. it 
has not been charged). Therefore, the current is 
only limited by the sum of the resistance in the 
NTC thermistor and the resistance in the coil of 
the EMC filter.
If the power supply is switched on when the 
supply voltage is at its highest level, the inrush 
current can become very high for a very short 
period of time. After this period of time, the 
current will drop to the rated current.
When the power supply to the pump is switched 
on and off via an external relay, it must be 
ensured that the contact material of the relay is 
able to handle higher inrush currents. We 
recommend to use special inrush relays with 
silver-tin-oxide (AgSnO) contacts.

Leakage current

The pump mains filter causes a leakage current 
to ground during operation.

High-voltage test 

The pump incorporates filter components that 
are connected to ground. The voltage level and 
the number of tests should be as low as 
possible, in order to grant the longest lifetime in 
the market. Additional standard high-voltage 
tests of the complete pump including filter must 
be avoided to eliminate the risk of filter damage.

Do not insulate the control box, 
especially the heat sink, in order to 
allow cooling by the surrounding air.
Do not cover the pump head with 
diffusion-tight, cold-water insulation. 

Keep the drain holes located in the 
stator housing free.

DANGER

Electric shock

Death or serious personal injury
- All electrical work must be carried 

out by a qualified electrician in 
accordance with the latest edition 
of the National Electric Code and 
state, local codes and regulations.

DANGER

Electric shock

Death or serious personal injury
- Switch off the power supply before 

starting any work on the product. 
Make sure that the power supply 
cannot be accidentally switched on.

DANGER

Electric shock

Death or serious personal injury
- Do not use the pump in swimming 

pool or marine areas.

WARNING

Electric shock

Death or serious personal injury
- This pump is supplied with a 

grounding conductor. To reduce the 
risk of electric shock, be certain 
that it is connected only to a 
properly grounded, grounding-type 
receptacle in accordance with the 
National Electric Code and any 
state, local governing codes and 
regulations.

The pump must not be used with an 
external speed control which varies 
the supply voltage, for example 
phase-cut or pulse-cascade control.

Check that the supply voltage and 
frequency correspond to the values 
stated on the pump.
