5.1General
Theele ctrical connectio n should be carried o ut by an
authorised electricia n in accordance w ith local
regulations.
Thes upply voltage , rated maxim um current and
cosap pear from the loose da ta plate that must be
fitted close to the installa tion site.
Ther equired voltage qual ity for Grund fos MS and
MMSsu bmersible motors, m easured at the motor
terminals, is – 10 %/+ 6 % of the nom inal voltage
during continuous oper ation (includin g variation in
thesu pply voltage and losse s in cables).
Furthermore, it must be ch ecked that there i s voltage
symmetry in the electric ity supply line s, i.e. same
difference of voltag e between the ind ividual phase s.
