2Installation
2.1Installation and operational accessories
The motor is supplied with a 3 meter long, 3 core waterproof
cable.
The following accessories are necessary for installation and
commissioning :
• A cable with vulcanizing rubber compound (which is normally
used for repairing the punctures in automobiles) and electric
insulation PVC tapes.
• Control panel
• 2 pairs of supporting or installation clamps for vertical
installation and 1 set of stands for horizontal installation.
• Overload trip unit, water level guard, single-phase preventor
(for 3 phase motor).
2.2Motor preparations
2.2.1 Motor fill
For filling the motor with pure cold drinking water, follow the
procedure given below :
• Place the motor vertically up.
• Remove the two plugs provided at the top of the motor (Here
one plug is provided to escape the air and another for filling
the water).
• Fill the motor completely with pure water having no impurities
(Do not use distilled water).
• After filling the motor let it stand for 30 minutes and rotate the
rotor by hand to accelerate the escape of trapped air.
• At the same time pour more water to fill the loss of volume
caused by the escaped air bubbles.
• Refit the plugs.
• Check the motor completely for any leakages of water.

Now motor is ready for operation.
If a unit has been in storage for more than 2 months, check for
the motor filling and for rotor freeness.
2.2.2 Insulation resistance (IR)
The insulation resistance value of the new motor with 500 V DC
megger is generally 20 Mega Ohms. For older motors if the value
observed to be less than 2 Mega Ohms, please contact KSB or
Authorized Dealer before switching on the motor.
2.2.3 Extended Cable connection
Only the proper cable connector ensures a perfect watertight
joint and provides a protection against mechanical damage to
the cable jointing. While connecting extra cable beyond standard
length along with the pump set, it is necessary to have a water
tightened cable joint.
a. To connect the cables, cut off and strip the motor cable and
join it is staggered fashion where no 2 joints overlap each
other.
b. Colors of the leads, which are to be joined together must be
identical as per following sketch (Fig. 1).
c. Wrap vulcanizing rubber compound to each cable joint and
again wrap with electric insulation tape on the top of it.
d. To ensure proper insulation once again wrap with vulcanizing
rubber compound and electric insulation tape for each joint.
e. Finally wind the total cables with electric insulation tape.
f. Oil or grease should not have any contact with the tape.
g. Complete the taping over core insulation at each side.
Please see that each turn of the tape should have a 50% overlap
over the previous turn. The tape should be wound on to a
thickness at least equal to that of core insulation.
2.2.3.1 Selection of Cable
Voltage drop for extended cable should not be more than 3% of
rated voltage i.e.
Permissible voltage drop = Available voltage x 0.03
For Single phase :
Voltage drop = 2 x Cable Length in meters x Resistance / meter
for particular cable size x motor current
Allowed voltage drop is up to 7.0 volts (Considering available
voltage 230 volts).
e.g. For the cable length of 50 m and area of cross section 1.5
mm2, with rated current 3.5 A,
Voltage drop = 2 x 50 x 0.0121 x 3.5
= 4.24 volts (which is permissible)
For three phase :
Voltage drop = Cable Length in meters x Resistance / meter for
particular cable size x motor current
Allowed voltage drop is up to 12.5 volts (Considering available
voltage 415 volts).
e.g. For the cable length of 50 m and area of cross section 1.5
mm2, with rated current 2.4 A,
Voltage drop = 50 x 0.0121 x 2.4
= 1.45 volts (which is permissible)
Resistance / meter according to cross-section area :

2.2.4 Coupling of pump and motor
Couple the shaft to motor in vertical manner.
Before fitting the suction strainer the effortless rotation of the
coupled rotor should be checked at the sleeve coupling.
Please ensure that the top face of sand guard presses the bottom
face of the sleeve coupling to avoid the entry of sand inside the
coupling.

Submersible motor pumps (100 mm)
2.3Typical installation at site
Use lifting device of capability of carrying the weight of pump
unit as well as the weight of pipe filled with water for installation.
2.3.1 Vertical installation
Before installing the unit in narrow deep wells, the well should be
tested for trueness of size over its entire length (e.g. by running
a dummy cylinder of diameter 98 mm and length about 2 m inside
the well). A slight inclination of the well is immaterial, whereas
any twists or bends can make installation difficult.
Installation depth should be selected such that the motor would
never run dry even when the water level is at its lowest mark
(i.e. draw down of bore well capacity).
The minimum water level should be 0.5 m above the top of the
non-return valve.
The pump should always be installed with the suction strainer
above the slotted casing pipe. The effect is that the pump draws
in the water free from loose sand.

4. Expansion joint
Note : Generally the horizontal installation of submersible pump
unit is equipped with two storage tanks to increase the water
capacity.
1. Referring to the above figure (Fig. 4) for horizontal installation
only two supports are needed. One is placed at the extreme
end of the NRV while other is placed at the center of motor.
2. Install adapter pipe to the pump with 2 Water reservior and
the motor with proper fittings.
3. Ensure that the cast RCC foundation is incorporated with
the recommended foundation bolts of proper height.
4. To make up the correct center height of aligned pump - motor,
provide sufficient metallic packing in the RCC foundation
itself. To attain precise alignment, minor shims up to 2 mm
thick made of M.S. sheet may be used below the pump or
motor stand.
5. Such installed pump shall be either perfectly horizontal or
maximum of 5 degree inclination with motor down and pump
lifted up from the ground. Precise tightening of foundation
bolts has to be done at the final stage.
6. Surface of the motor should be cleaned periodically for
8
effective cooling.

It is important to ensure that pump does not sit on the base of the
well and there is no risk of sand or sludge deposition around the
motor. This would disrupt heat dissipation from the motor.
2.3.3 Plastic / Flexible Rubber riser piping instead
of normal GI riser piping
Consult the HDPE / rubber pipe suppliers for the capability of
pipes for withstanding the pressure. If the pump is to be fitted
with HDPE raising piping, it is to be firmly tied up with stainless
steel wire ropes of dia. 2-3 mm to the eyelets on the non return

valve body and the vertical pipe line. This precaution will help
even in case of GI riser piping.
2.3.4 Installation of water level guard
Install a water level guard for dry running protection to avoid the
damage of pump unit in case of water level fluctuations.
2.3.5 Protection against electric shock
Submersible motors are provided with external earthing plug at
upper bearing body as a standard. A three-cored cable is led out
of the motor. The operator / user shall be responsible for proper
connection of the earthed conductor and of control unit at site.
2.3.6 Fixing the power supply cable to the riser pipe
During installation of pump into the bore well, power supply cable
should be fixed to the raiser pipe by means of cable clips at a
distance of approx. 3 m immediately after the flange or coupling
of the pipe.
2.3.7 Verification of power line with respect to
motor design
Verify the voltage and frequency of main supply with the data
given on the motor’s nameplate.
If it is not matching then consult with concerned electrical
authority.
Ensure that the main power supply is stable.
