To avoid damage to the pump part, make sure that
the motor stops when the pump flow falls below 10 %
of the rated flow.
Voltage peaks for Grundfos submersible motors
should be limited according to the table below.
5.2 Motor protection
5.2.1 Single-phase motors
Single-phase MS402 submersible motors
incorporate a thermal switch and require no
additional motor protection. As an exception, the
1,1 kW (1,5 hp) MS402 requires external current
protection.
Single-phase MS4000 / MS6000 submersible motors
are protected from overcurrent by a Grundfos starter
box.
5.2.2 Three-phase asynchronous motors
MS motors are available with or without a built-in
temperature transmitter.
Motors with a built-in and operational temperature
transmitter must be protected by:
• a motor-protective circuit breaker with thermal
relay or
• an MP 204 motor protection unit and
contactor(s).
Motors with or without a non-operational temperature
transmitter must be protected by:
• a motor-protective circuit breaker with thermal
relay or
• an MP 204 motor protection unit and
contactor(s).
MMS motors have no built-in temperature
transmitter. A Pt100 sensor is available as an
accessory.
Motors with a Pt100 sensor must be protected by the
following:
• a motor-protective circuit breaker with thermal
relay or
• an MP 204 motor protection unit and
contactor(s).
Motors without a Pt100 sensor must be protected by
the following:
• a motor-protective circuit breaker with thermal
relay with max. trip class 10 according to
IEC 60947-4-1 or
• an MP 204 motor protection unit and
contactor(s).
5.2.3 Three-phase synchronous motors
Synchronous MS motors are a part of an SPE Pump
system together with a suitable IPM-ready sine wave
output filter and a suitable CUE frequency converter.
The CUE has built-in motor protection.

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
- The pump must be connected to
protective earth.
- 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
- When the motor has been thermally
switched off, the motor terminals are
still live. When the motor has cooled
sufficiently, it will restart automatically.
