ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Make sure the cable leads do not be-
come trapped between the fixing plate
and the stator casing (b).
All electrical work shall be carried out under the super-
vision of an authorized electrician.
Local codes and regulations must be observed.
Check that the voltage and frequency on the data
plate are in accordance with your actual power supply.
The motor cannot be connected for different voltages.
If intermittent operation is prescribed (see data plate),
the mixer should be provided with control equipment
that provides such operation.
Under no circumstances may the starting equipment
be installed in direct connection with the tank.
To avoid leakage into the mixer check:
—that the cable entry seal sleeve and washers con-
form to the outside diameter of the cable. See the
parts list.
—that the outer sheath on the cable is not damaged.
When refitting a cable which has been used before,
always cut off a short piece of the cable so that the
cable entry sleeve does not seal onto the cable at
the same position again.
Remember that the starting surge can be up to 3.5
times higher than the rated current. Make sure that the
fuses or circuit breakers are of the proper amperage.
The table (see “Product Description”) gives rated cur-
rent and starting current. Fuse amperage and cable
must be selected in accordance with local rules and
regulations.
The overload protection (motor protection breaker)
shall be set to the motor’s rated current as given on
the data plate.
With a clockwise phase sequence L1-L2-L3 (R-S-T), the
propeller will rotate correctly, i.e. clockwise as viewed
from the motor side. Check the phase sequence in the
main (line) using a phase sequence indicator.
Three thermal contacts are incorporated in the stator
and are normally closed. The thermal contacts can be
connected to maximum of 250 volts, breaking at 4
amps. current at maximum.
Connect the thermal contacts to the starter.
Thermal contacts must always be
used on Ex-approved machine due
to approval conditions.
Motor cable
CAUTION!
If the machine is intended for use with a
Variable frequency Drive (VFD), be careful in
choosing a motor cable. The VFD might
require a screened cable.
Please, read the manufacturer’s instruction for
the VFD.
If necessary, contact your ITT Flygt represen-
tative.
Available motor cable are SUBCAB®or SUBCAB®
AWG or a chemically resistant cable type HCR.
Connect the motor cable to the terminal board as
illustrated in the figure “Direct on-line start”.
Connect the leads from the motor control circuit to T1
and T2.

Tighten the screws (a) so that the cable entry unit
forms an effective seal.
Connect the motor cable to the starter equipment.
Check the direction of rotation, see “Before starting”.
Ex version!
Electrical connections of the explo-
sion-proof mixer must be performed
by authorized personnel.
All electrical equipment must be
earthed (grounded). This applies to
both the machine and any control or
monitoring equipment.
Failure to heed this warning may cause a lethal
accident. Make sure that the earth lead is cor-
rectly connected by testing it.
NOTE for Ex-approved machine
All work on the explosion-proof motor section must
be performed by personnel authorized by Flygt.
Flygt disclaims all responsibility for work done
by untrained, unauthorized personnel.
Before starting work on the machine,
make sure that the machine is
isolated from the power supply and
cannot be energized.
