The SPD Plus pump controller is a simple, easy to use
and commission Variable Speed Drive (VSD) designed
specically for use in submersible or above ground
pump systems. The SPD Plus features an integrated
Start-Up Assistant which simplies system commissioning and setup.
NOTE
The SPD Plus is not recommended for the residential
well applications. Consult CentriPro for suitable
Variable Speed Controllers designed for residential
well pumps.
The following diagrams show some typical system
designs using the SPD Plus.

technician. Always follow all local, state and provincial
codes.
A proper installation requires a pressure relief valve,
a ¼" female N.P.T. threaded tting for the pressure
sensor, and properly sized pipe. Piping should be
no smaller than the pump discharge and/or suction
connections. Piping should be kept as short as
possible. Avoid the use of unnecessary ttings to
minimize friction losses.
Some pump and motor combinations
controlled by the SPD Plus can create
dangerous pressure. Select pipe
and ttings according to your pipe suppliers’
recommendation. Consult local codes for piping
requirements in your area.
All joints must be airtight. Use PTFE thread seal tape
or another type of pipe sealant to seal threaded
connections. Please be careful when using thread
sealant as any excess that gets inside the pipe may
plug the pressure sensor.
Galvanized ttings or pipe should never be connected
directly to the stainless steel pump discharge or
casing as galvanic corrosion may occur. Barb type
connectors should always be double clamped.
PRESSURE TANK, PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE AND
DISCHARGE PIPING
Use only “pre-charged” tanks on this system. Do not
use galvanized tanks. Select an area that is always
above 34º F (1.1º C) in which to install the tank,
pressure sensor and pressure relief valve. If this is
an area where a water leak or pressure relief valve
blow-off may damage property, connect a drain line
to the pressure relief valve. Run the drain line from the
pressure relief valve to a suitable drain or to an area
where water will not damage property.

PRESSURE TANK, SYSTEM PRESSURE
Sizing – A bladder tank (not included) is used to
cushion the pressure system during start-up and shut-
down. It should be sized to at least 20% of the total
capacity of your pump. Example: If your pump is sized
for 100 GPM then size your tank for at least 20 gal.
total volume, not draw down. Pre-charge your bladder
tank to 15-20 PSI below your system pressure. Use the
higher tank pre-charge setting if the system drifts over
5 PSI at a constant ow rate. NOTE: Pre-charge your
tank before lling with water!
CAUTION
Maximum working pressure of HydroPro
bladder tank is 125 psi.
INSTALLING THE PRESSURE SENSOR
The pressure sensor requires a ¼" NPT tting for
installation. Install the pressure sensor with the
electrical connector pointing up to avoid clogging the
pressure port with debris. Install the pressure sensor in
a straight run of pipe away from elbows or turbulence.
For optimum pressure control install the pressure
sensor in the same straight run of pipe as the pressure
tank. Ensure the pressure sensor is within 10 feet of
the pressure tank. Installing the pressure sensor far
away from the pressure tank may result in pressure
oscillations. Do not install the pressure sensor in a location where freezing can occur. A frozen pipe
can cause damage to the pressure sensor.
The pressure sensor cable must be wired to the
controller control terminals. The pressure sensor
cable wiring diagram is shown in Section 6. The cable
can be shortened for a cleaner installation. Longer
cable lengths are available, consult factory. Maximum
recommended pressure sensor cable length is 300
feet. Avoid leaving a coil of pressure sensor cable as
this can induce unwanted transient voltages and noise
into the system. Do not run the pressure sensor cable
alongside the input or output wiring for more than 1
foot. Maintain a distance of at least 8” between the
pressure sensor cable and input or output wiring.
Ensure the pressure sensor cable is connected as
follows: Brown to terminal 10 (24VDC SUPPLY), White
to terminal 5 (AI2, TRANSDUCER FEEDBACK), Drain to
SCR Terminal 1. Connecting the Drain wire to the SCR
Terminal electrically connects the sensor case to the
chassis of the controller. In some cases this drain wire
must be disconnected from the controller chassis. In
cases where there is grounded metal piping which is
continuous between the transducer and the motor or
the transducer is installed in grounded metal piping,
a ground loop can result so the drain wire must be
disconnected from the chassis. In cases where there
are sections of nonmetallic piping between the
transducer and motor or the transducer is installed
in ungrounded piping this drain wire should be
connected to the controller chassis.
SECTION 5: MOUNTING THE
CONTROLLER
GENERAL
Mount the controller in a ventilated, shaded area.
The controller must be mounted vertically. Be sure
to leave 8 inches of free air space on every side of
the unit. The controller must be in an area with an
ambient between 5 ºF (-15 ºC) and 122 ºF (50 ºC).
If installation is above 3300 feet above sea level,
ambient temperatures are derated 1% per 330 feet
above 3300 feet. The altitude limit for this controller is
6600 ft. Do not install above 6600 ft.
NOTE
Do not block the heat sink (ns) and fans and do not
set anything on the units.
WARNING
The controller access cover should
always be securely fastened to the control box due to the dangerous voltage/
shock hazard inside the unit.
NOTE
Controllers with an N1 sufx have a NEMA 1 enclosure and are rated for indoor use only.

REQUIREMENTS
NOTE
Installation and maintenance MUST be performed
by properly trained and qualied personnel.
Always follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) or
Canadian Electric Code (CEC), as well as all state,
local and provincial codes when wiring the system.
The type of transformer and the connection
conguration feeding a drive plays an important
role in its performance and safety. The following is
a brief description of some of the more common
congurations and a discussion of their virtues and
shortcomings. Always ask what type of power system
the site has before sizing the drive.
DELTA/WYE WITH GROUNDED WYE NEUTRAL:
This conguration is one of if not the most common.
It provides rebalancing of unbalanced voltage with
a 30 degree phase shift. Depending on the output
connections from the drive to motor, the grounded
neutral may be a path for common mode current
caused by the drive output.
DELTA/DELTA WITH GROUNDED LEG
UNGROUNDED SECONDARY
Grounding of the transformer secondary is essential
to the safety of personnel as well as the safe operation
of the drive. Leaving the secondary oating can
permit dangerously high voltages between the
chassis of the drive and the internal power structure
components. In many cases this voltage could exceed
the rating of the input MOV protection devices of
the drive causing a catastrophic failure. In all cases,
the input power to the drive should be referenced to
ground. If the transformer can not be grounded, then
an isolation transformer must be installed with the
secondary of the transformer grounded.
WARNING
If the secondary of the transformer is
a delta with a grounded leg (corner
grounded delta) or oating network,
the line to ground EMC lter components and line
to ground MOV protection must be disconnected or
damage to the controller can result. Remove screws
EM1 and EM3 for frame sizes R4/N4 or F1 and F2
for frame sizes R5/N5 and R6/N6 to disable line to
ground EMC lter and MOV protection. Refer to
Figures 1, 2 and 3 for screw locations.
RESISTANCE GROUNDING AND GROUND FAULT
PROTECTION
Another common conguration providing voltage
rebalancing with no phase shift between input and
output. Again, depending on the output connections
from the drive to motor, the grounded neutral may be
a path for common mode current caused by the drive
output.
WARNING
If the secondary of the transformer is
a delta with a grounded leg (corner
grounded delta) or oating network,
the line to ground EMC lter components and line
to ground MOV protection must be disconnected or
damage to the controller can result. Remove screws
EM1 and EM3 for frame sizes R4/N4 or F1 and F2
for frame sizes R5/N5 and R6/N6 to disable line to
ground EMC lter and MOV protection. Refer to
Figures 1, 2 and 3 for screw locations.
14
Connecting the Wye secondary neutral to ground
through a resistor is an acceptable method of
grounding. Under a short circuit secondary condition,
any of the output phases to ground will not exceed
the normal line to line voltage. This is within the rating
of the MOV input protection devices on the drive.
The resistor is often used to detect ground current
by monitoring the associated voltage drop. Since
high frequency ground current can ow through this
resistor, care should be taken to properly connect the
drive motor leads using the recommended cables
and methods. In some cases, multiple drives on one
transformer can produce a cumulative ground current
that can trigger the ground fault interrupt circuit.
WARNING
Hazardous
voltage
WARNING
Hazardous
voltage
OPEN DELTA (CONSULT FACTORY)
This type of conguration is common on 230 volt
systems. From time to time it may be encountered
where only single phase power is available and
three-phase power is required. The technique uses
two single phase transformers to derive a third phase.
When used to power a drive this conguration must
be derated to about 70% of the single phase rating of
one transformer. This system provides poor regulation
and it is possible that only the two line connected
phases will provide power. In this case the drive must
be derated to 50 % of its rating. (Ex. A 20 HP 230 volt
drive now becomes a 10 HP 230 volt drive.)
WARNING
“Open Delta” power systems should
be sized using the 50% derate factor.
Consult factory.
SINGLE PHASE CONNECTION
For drives with a diode rectier front end it is possible
to run a three phase output with a single phase input.
Only part of the three phase input bridge is used.
Ripple current becomes 120 Hz rather than 360. This
places a greater demand on the DC lter components
(capacitor bank and DC choke). The result is that the
drive must be derated to 50% current. Single phase
will not work with an SCR front end drive.
LINE TRANSFORMER
The line input voltage and transformer power must
meet certain phase and balance requirements. If
you or your installing electrical contractor is in
doubt of the requirements, the following provide
guidelines for the SPD Plus installation. When in
doubt contact the local power utility or the factory.
If an isolation transformer is used, the best choice is
ONE three phase, six winding transformer. A delta
primary is best for third harmonic cancellation. A wye
secondary avoids circulating current problems and
provides the very desirable option of grounding the
secondary neutral for minimum voltage stress and
ripple to ground. The transformer should have a KVA
rating at least 1.1 times the maximum connected HP.
A K factor of 6 is sufcient if transformer impedance
is greater than 2%. A K Factor of 5 is sufcient if
transformer impedance is greater than 3%. The
transformer manufacturer may provide derating for
non K Factor rated transformers to operate at the
drive produced K Factor levels.
Other transformer congurations are acceptable.
Three single phase transformers can be used if
they are identical for phase to phase symmetry and
balance. A wye connected primary neutral should
never be grounded. Great care should be taken with
delta primary delta secondary congurations. Any lack
of phase to phase symmetry could result in circulating
currents and unacceptable transformer heating.
WARNING
Never use phase converters with drives
as nuisance tripping and possible
damage may occur. Instead, use single
phase input power and 50% derate factor.

CONDUIT, WIRE AND FUSE SIZING
When selecting the input power cable follow the rules
below:
• Do not use aluminum wires
• The cable must be able to carry the drive load
current
• The cable must be rated for at least 75ºC
• A four conductor cable (three phases and ground)
or four insulated conductors routed through
conduit may be used. Shielding is not required.
The use of metal conduit with metal conduit
connectors is recommended for all electrical
connections. Use the NEC or CEC to determine
the required conduit size for the application.
Refer to the wire sizing tables in Appendix B to
determine the maximum length for the input and
output cables. The maximum recommended total
voltage drop on both input and output cable
combined is 5%. Standard wire sizing table provides
maximum cable lengths for input or output cables.
Because of this the lengths given in the table must be
adjusted so the total voltage drop does not exceed
5%. For example, if the input wire sizing chart in the
appendix gives the maximum length of 400' and
only 100' is used then only 25% of the total voltage
drop (1.25% drop) is used. The maximum output
cable length must then be adjusted to 75% of its
value so that the maximum voltage drop of 5% is not
exceeded.
Provide a dedicated fused disconnect rated for drives
input current rating. (Fused disconnect included for
NEMA3R enclosures.) No other equipment should be
used for this disconnect. Use fast acting class T fuses.
The recommended fuse sizes for each model are
listed below.
INPUT POWER CONNECTIONS
Before making this connection, measure and verify
the site voltage phase to phase and phase to ground.
In the case of high line to ground voltage it may be
necessary to disconnect the line to ground EMC and
MOV protection. See Figures 1, 2 and 3 for details.
Ensure the ground wire is connected back to the
service entrance ground and that the service entrance
ground is bonded to a proper ground rod.

1) sufx, connect conduit to the conduit
box supplied with the controller. For all
other models (NEMA 3R), drill a hole that
is properly sized for the conduit used in
the bottom of the enclosure.
NOTE: Drilling in to the side or top of the
enclosure will violate the NEMA 3R rating.
Use metal conduit and metal conduit
connectors. Size the conduits according to
the NEC, CEC or local codes. Use the wire
sizing chart in Appendix B to determine
the size of the input power wires.
Connect the conduit and insert the wires
into the controller or enclosure. Connect
wires to the “INPUT” terminal block. For
N1 models, this terminal block is on the
controller and the terminal locations are
as shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3. For all
other models, this connection is made
to the input side of the fused disconnect
that is included in the enclosure. The
connections from the output side of the
disconnect to the controller are made at
the factory. Connect the ground wire to
the terminal labeled GND. For three phase
input, connect the input phase wires to
U1, V1 and W1. For single phase input,
connect the input wires to U1 and W1.

Measure and verify site voltage phase to phase and
phase to ground prior to connected power to the
controller.
Consult motor manual to determine the wire size for
the application. Ensure the ground connection to
the motor is continuous. Connect wires to the output
terminal block on the controller labeled U2, V2, W2,
and GND. Connect the ground wire to the terminal
labeled GND.
NOTE
Verify that there is at least 8” between input and
output connections or input connections and control
wiring.
DANGER
The controller has a high leakage
current to ground. The input terminals
marked “GND” must be directly
connected to the service entrance ground. Failure to
properly ground the controller or motor will create
an electrical shock hazard.
NOTE
Do not use GFCI protection with this controller.
Nuisance tripping will result.
NOTE
A single phase power input is designated only on
230 V specically, and the corresponding SPD Plus
pump controllers are derated to 50%.
DANGER
Status Code Indicator Light and Control
Panel Display are not voltage indicators!
Always turn off disconnect switch and
wait 5 minutes before servicing.
If a reactor is used for a submersible motor, connect
drive output terminal block U2, V2, W2 and GND to
the corresponding input terminals of the load reactor.
Connect the output terminals of the reactor to the
motor leads and GND. When wiring the load reactor
ensure all input connections from the controller are on
the same side of the reactor terminal block.
NOTE
A load reactor or load lter is required in installations
where the output motor leads exceed 50 ft.
NOTE
It is recommended to use a load reactor with all 575V
installations.
NOTE
Models with ‘F’ sufx include a load reactor prewired
to the controller.
NOTE
Ensure you have a three phase motor and verify
the motor voltage matches input power supply
voltage. Verify that the motor service factor amps
do not exceed the drive output at rated ambient
temperature. Ensure the ground is continuous
between the controller and the motor. Ensure there
is at least 8" between the output wires and any other
wires.
DANGER
The controller will remain electrically
charged for 5 minutes after power
is turned off. Wait 5 minutes after
disconnecting power before opening controller
access cover as there is a severe shock hazard.
OUTPUT POWER CONNECTIONS
Ensure input power disconnect is locked
in the off position before making the
output power connections. Run the motor
lead wire from the motor or conduit box through
metal conduit to the bottom of the controller. Use
metal conduit and metal conduit connectors. Size
the conduits according to the NEC, CEC or local
codes. Connect conduit and insert the wires through
the bottom of the enclosure or controller conduit
box extension. For frames N4, N5 and N6, it may be
necessary to drill a hole in the bottom of the enclosure
for conduit and wire entry.
For CentriPro motors, connecting U2 to Red, V2 to
Black and W2 to Yellow will give the correct rotation.
To change rotation, swap any two motor leads U2, V2
or W2.
Motor power and type are to be specied in Start-Up
Menu on drive keypad before running pump system.
DANGER
The controller has high leakage current
to ground. The output terminals
marked “GND” or “ ” must be directly
connected to the motor ground. Failure to properly
ground the controller or motor will create
an electrical shock hazard.

SECTION 7: CONTROL INPUT AND
WARNING
WARNING
OUTPUT FUNCTIONS
The control terminals allow for a variety of control
functions. Some of the terminals are prewired by the
factory. Removing prewired connections can disable
some controller functions. Refer to the information
below before removing prewired connections.
Turn off all power to the controller
before wiring devices to the control
terminals.
All the DI inputs are switch inputs. Do
not connect external power to these
inputs or damage to the controller will result. Only
connect non-powered switch contacts to these inputs.
START/STOP (DI1,13): The DI1 input allows the pump/
motor to be turned on and off by an external switch
while in REM mode. The input is pre-wired to +24V
terminal 10.
For external control of this input, use only a nonpowered external switch. Connect the contacts of the
switch to terminals 10 (+24VDC Supply) and 13 (DI1-
START/STOP). When the switch is closed the controller
is in START mode (output to motor is enabled). When
the switch is open the controller is in STOP mode
(output to motor is disabled).
TRANSDUCER INPUT (AI2, 5) and +24VDC (10):
These terminals are the transducer feedback and
transducer power supply. The controller is congured
with a 300 PSI 4-20mA output pressure transducer.
Connect the 3-wire pressure transducer cable with
white wire of signal to terminal AI2/5, brown wire
of +24 VDC transducer power supply to the drive
terminal 10, and shield/drain wire to terminal 1/SCR.
Refer to Section 4 for pressure transducer installation
details.
RELAY OUTPUTS (RO1-R03, 19-27): Relay outputs
RO1 through RO3 (terminals 19 to 27) are used to
perform motor control and fault functions inside the
controller. These functions are described below.
Start Ramp: Submersible motors require a start
ramp function that ramps from 0Hz (stopped)
to 30Hz in 1 second. DI3/15 ACC/DEC SEL and
RO1/19-21 Ramp Select are used to implement this
function.
No Water Restart Time: The No Water Restart Time
is used to automatically restart the controller after a
No Water/Loss of Prime (dry well) Fault is detected.
This function is implemented using DI2/14 Fault
Reset, RO2/22-24 Fault Output and RO3/25-27
Under Load Output.
WARNING
Disabling the No Water Restart Time function by
removing the prewired connections will prevent
the controller from automatically restarting after a
No Water/Loss of Prime Fault is detected.
ANALOG OUTPUTS (AO1, 7 and AO2, 8): These
terminals provide 0-20mA output signals that can be
used to control auxiliary equipment. These outputs
are congured in the application software. Analog
Output 1 (AO1/7) is precongured to output a
0-20mA signal based on the output frequency of the
controller. Where 0Hz corresponds to 0mA and 60Hz
corresponds to 20mA. Analog Output 2 (AO2/8)
is precongured to output a 0-20mA signal based
on the output current of the controller. Where 0A
corresponds to 0mA and 100% of controller rated
output current corresponds to 20mA. The external
device used with the Analog Outputs must have an
impedance less than 500Ω.
RELAY OUTPUTS (RO4-RO6, 1-9): The relay outputs
RO4-RO6 have been congured for Ready, Running
and Fault functions respectively. The operation of
relay outputs RO4-RO6 is described below.
Controller Ready Relay (RO4, 1-3): This relay output
is congured to energize when the controller is
ready to function. The controller is ready when no
faults exist and the input supply voltage is within
range.
Run Relay (RO5, 4-6): This relay output is
congured to energize when the controller is
running the motor. The relay is de-energized when
the controller stops the motor.
Fault Relay (RO6, 7-9): This relay output is
congured to energize when the controller is
faulted. The relay is de-energized when there is no
system fault or after a fault clears.
WARNING
Disabling the Start Ramp function by removing the
prewired connections can result in damage to the
submersible motor and will void the motor and
controller warranty.

pressure drop allowed
in the system before
the pump restarts after
a No Water Demand
condition is detected.
A No Water Demand
condition exists
when the pump has
satised the desired
system pressure and
reached the minimum
frequency. If the
Restart Pressure Drop is set to 5 PSI and the pump has
satised the desired system pressure and turned off
on no demand, the controller will turn the pump back
on after the system pressure has dropped 5 PSI below
the system pressure setting.
Setting the Ramp Speed too fast can result in
unstable operation and can damage pump, motor
and piping.
NO WATER RESTART

• Mechanical/Pump/ Rotation — check pump
rotation, rubbing or other mechanical problems;
pump “run out”.
APPENDIX A: INPUT POWER SPECIFICATIONS
Do not operate the drive outside the nominal
input line voltage range. Over-voltage can result in
permanent damage to the drive.
SOMETIMES DRIVE INPUT ISOLATION
TRANSFORMERS ARE SPECIFIED TO DEAL WITH
ONE OR MORE OF THE FOLLOWING ISSUES:
1) Short Circuit Protection: Input transformers are
sometimes used to provide impedance to reduce
the available short circuit current to levels that the
input clearing devices, such as fuses or circuit
breakers, are rated to handle. Line reactors can
perform this impedance function much more cost
effectively.
• Hydraulic System/ Piping — check to ensure
proper suction and discharge piping layout,
proper NPSHa, air entrainment, vortex, friction
loss, system curve compensation etc.
• Environment — protect from high temperatures,
direct sun, freezing temperatures, high altitude,
dust, vibration, lack of air ow.
to ground transient protection. Isolation
transformers are not required for this protection
within those energy levels. Additional distribution
transformer primary transient surge arrestors
may be required if the potential transient energy
reected to the drive exceed those levels. MOV's
are rated to handle high levels of one shot
transient energy. MOV's are not meant to handle
continuously recurring transients. A problem
of continuously recurring transients should be
corrected before connecting a drive.
3) Harmonic Mitigation: Input transformers are
sometimes used to provide impedance to reduce
the harmonic currents generated in the drive. Line
reactors can perform this function much more
cost effectively.
2) Transient Protection: Input transformers are
sometimes used to provide transient surge
impedance. All the SPD Plus drives have
capacitors and MOV's (Metal Oxide Varistor transient
protectors) providing 120 to 360 joules, line to line

4) Power Factor Capacitor Isolation: Input
transformers are sometimes used to provide
impedance to isolate drives from line connected
power factor correction capacitors. PWM drive
inputs do not require power factor correction
capacitors as drive power factors are generally
greater than 92% and cannot be signicantly
improved with power factor correction capacitors
which only correct for fundamental. However drives
should be isolated from power factor correction
capacitors by about 3 to 6% additional impedance
with respect to the drives. Line reactors can
perform this function much more cost effectively
than isolation transformers. SPD Plus drives have
either an internal 3% line reactor or an equivalent 3
to 5% bus reactor.
5) RFI/EMI Mitigation: Neither input isolation
transformers nor line or bus reactors provide good
high frequency ltering although an isolation
transformer with a static shield will provide some
RFI mitigation. If RFI/EMI mitigation is required,
an RFI/EMI lter mounted inside the drive should
be used together with all the proper wiring and
grounding techniques. Some RFI/EMI lters may
operate only on a power source with a grounded
neutral. Establishing a local neutral ground may
require the use of an input isolation transformer.
CORNER GROUNDED TN SYSTEMS
WARNING
Do not attempt to install or remove the EMC
lter screws EM1, EM3, F1 or F2 while power is
applied to the drive's input terminals.
Corner grounded TN systems are dened in the
following table. In such systems, disconnect the
internal ground connection through the EMC lter
capacitors (do this also if the grounding conguration
of the system is unknown), see SECTION 6: POWER
SUPPLY AND WIRING for details.
The EMC lter capacitors make an internal ground
connection that reduces electro-magnetic emission.
Where EMC (electro-
magnetic compatibility) is
a concern, and the system
is symmetrically grounded,
the EMC lter may be
connected. For reference,
the diagram on the right
illustrates a symmetrically
grounded TN system (TN-S
system).
FLOATING NETWORKS
WARNING
Do not attempt to install or remove the EMC
lter screws EM1, EM3, F1 or F2 while power is
applied to the drive's input terminals.
For IT systems (an ungrounded power system or
a high-resistance-grounded [over 30 ohm] power
system):
• Disconnect the ground connection to the internal
EMC lter, see SECTION 6: POWER SUPPLY AND
WIRING for details.
• Where EMC requirements exist, check for
excessive emission propagated to neighboring
low voltage networks. In some cases, the natural
suppression in transformers and cables is
sufcient. If in doubt, use a supply transformer
with static screening between the primary and
secondary windings.
• Do NOT install an external RFI/EMC lter. Using
an EMC lter grounds the input power through
the lter capacitors, which could be dangerous
and could damage the drive.

APPENDIX B: FUSE AND WIRE SIZING
FUSES
Branch circuit protection must be provided by the end
user and sized per national and local electric codes.
The following tables provide fuse recommendations
for short circuit protection on the drive's input power.
The rated fuse currents given in the tables are the
maximums for the mentioned fuse types. If smaller
fuse ratings are used, check that the fuse Arms current
rating is larger than the input current.
Check that the operating time of the fuse is below
0.5 seconds. The operating time depends on the
fuse type, the supply network impedance as well as
the cross-sectional area, material and length of the
supply cable. In case the 0.5 seconds operating time
is exceeded with the gG or T fuses, ultra rapid (aR)
fuses will in most cases reduce the operating time to
an acceptable level.
