Caution

Under no circumstances must the pump be

used as an anchoring point for the pipeline.

Any expansion of the pipes caused by high temperatures must be

adjusted by taking appropriate corrective measures, to ensure
that the pump does not come under undue stress due to pipeline
forces and torques.
Excessive pipeline forces can cause leakages of
pumped media for example.

KRT
Toxic and hot media can endanger life.
When emptying objects on a lower level, a non-return valve must
be fitted into the discharge pipe to avoid backflow from the
channel, which could be led via the backflow level (road level)
upwards and only then into the sewage channel.
Screwed pipeline joints where plastic parts
Caution
were used, must not be damaged by careless
handling of tools during the installation of pump and
pipeline.
Fitting of a non-return valve is also essential for longer rising
pipes to avoid excessive backflow when the pump is turned
off. Ensure that ventilation is taken into account when fitting
a non-return valve.

KRT
5.5

Electrical connection

General
The electrical connection must be carried out by a
trained electrician and in compliance with local
regulations.
The voltage must comply with the voltage indicated on the
nameplate.
Electrical installation must be in accordance with the Appendix
Electrical connection diagrams for the appropriate motor
sizes. The pump is delivered with cable.
Do not remove the protective cover, which is
Caution
situated at the cable end until immediately
before installation.
The individual cores of the cable ends bear marking tapes
(e.g. U(T1). V(T2), W(T3), U2(T4), V2(T5), W2(T6) 21, 22,
or 10, 11, ...).
If cables have to be shortened, take care of the core index or color
imprints. In such a case, remove the yellow tags and reaffix it
afterwards.
When laying a conduit between the pump
Caution
station and the electrical switchgear,
additional control cable (min. AWG 15 / 1.5 mm2) must be
installed for pump monitoring equipment. Adjust cores to
suit requirement.
5.5.1
Monitoring equipment
The unit has been supplied internal sensors to prevent damage.
Installation, description and functioning of the sensors to prevent
damage can be taken from appendix Electrical connection
diagrams.
5.5.2

Fitting of electric cabling

After installing the unit, it is advised to

position and support the motor cable so not
to have it sucked into the pump during operation.

Caution

For correct installation of the electric cabling within the pump

sump (appendix General pump outline Fig. 4) we
recommend using kellum grips, which can be supplied for
additional cost (paragraph 4.4). Slack installation of cables could
cause damage to the electric cabling when the pump is operating.
Fitting of cable protection sheath:
If a protection sheath is included in the scope of supply for the
electric cabling, it has to be fitted according to the instructions
given in the supplementary operating manual Assembly of
protection sheath.

5.5.3
Overcurrent relayg
The motor must be protected against overloading by a thermally
retarded overcurrent relay to comply with NEC and regulations
which are in accordance with local requirements. This must be
adjusted to the nominal motor current indicated on the nameplate.
5.5.4
Level control switch
Pumping stations with automatic pump operation should be fitted
with a level control switch. The cut--off point should be set as R
in accordance with appendix Dimension tables.
5.5.5
Checking of the direction of rotation
Once the electrical connections are complete, the following
should be checked.
The pump cannot reach its duty point if the
Caution
direction
of
rotation
is
incorrect.
Non--observance can lead to damaging the pump.
Never put hands or any objects into the pump when
the pump can be accidentally started. Prior to
carrying out rotation check, make sure no foreign objects are
in the pump casing.

Caution

The running time should be as short as

possible approx. 1 minute.

Correct direction of rotation:

If the right phase sequence of the circuit is known, the correct
direction of rotation will occur automatically, providing the
instructions in 5.5 have been carried out correctly (rotating of the
motor to the left).
The direction of rotation is checked by bumping the pump and
observations of the impeller.
When looking at the pump mouth, the impeller must move to the
left (with some pumps, the direction of rotation is marked by an
arrow).
(See appendix General pump outline Fig. 5).
If the direction of rotation is incorrect, interchange 2 of the
3 phases in the switch cabinet.
5.5.6
Connection of a potential equalizer
For potential equalization use the external connection terminal at
the cable entry.
(Appendix General pump outline Fig. 3).
Special requirements for chemically corrosive media:
Do not use the outside terminal if the unit is used for chemically
corrosive media.
Instead, the potential equalizer should be fitted to a flange at the
discharge pipe, which does not come into contact with the media.
Please ensure that there is an electrical connection between the
newly created potential equalizer and the pump.
(Appendix General pump outline Fig. 4).

Assembly kit installation

The following assembly kits are available for assembly /

installation of the KRT pump unit.
-- 5.6.1 Stationary wet-well installation,
-- 5.6.2 Transportable installation.
5.6.1

Stationary installation with guide cable

5.6.1.1 Description
(Appendix General outline installation set Fig. 1).
Stationary installation provides the facility to insert and lift out the
pump unit at any time regardless of liquid level within the sump by
means of a double guide cable.
Guided securely by two parallel, previously tightened stainless
steel cables the pump slides into the well or tank and attaches
itself to the discharge elbow which has been fitted to the bottom.
The weight of the pump acts to seal the connection between
pump and discharge elbow. A profile gasket between the pump
and discharge elbow achieves a zero leakage, pressure--proof
elastic connection.
5.6.1.2

Scope of supply for stationary wet-well

installation
Please refer to the Appendix Wet-well installation with guide
cables.
5.6.1.3 Installation of pump with claw connection
Use appendix Wet-well installation for guidance.
1. Prior to lowering the pump fit claw part # 732 to the discharge
flange of the pump housing.
Screws have to be tightened in accordance with the
instructions. This is described under item 7.5.1 in the table
Bolt tightening torque.
2. Fit profile seal part # 410.35 or part # 99-6 into the groove of
the claw / pump casing flange.
5.6.1.4

Fitting of the mounting bracket /

discharge elbow / guide cable
Construction of the base foundations should be sufficiently strong
(min. 3000 psi) to ensure a functionally correct fixing of guide
cable equipment and discharge elbow.
Refer to the drawing as illustrated in appendix Wet--well
installation for all installation tasks outlined below.
1. Secure mounting bracket part # 894 using anchor bolt part #
90--3.37 (supplied by others) at the sump opening rim.
Borehole diameter and depth for the anchor bolt to be taken

All means of fixation are part of the scope of supply.
For the bolt of the mounting bracket refer to appendix
Dimension tables.

2. Fit threaded bolt part # 904 with clamping piece part # 571 /
support piece part # 572 to the mounting bracket part # 894.
Do not unscrew hexagonal nut part # 920.36 too much, just
enough to allow sufficient play for tightening the cable
subsequently.
3. The discharge elbow should be positioned and secured to the
base of the sump so that the tightened cable will run vertically
later on.
Should construction / pipework etc. require the cable to run off
the vertical, then a maximum angle of 5 should be adhered
to, thus ensuring safe fitting function.Securing of the
discharge elbow is carried out by using steel anchor bolts part
# 90--3.38 or foundation bolts part # 900.38 regardless of
pump size or material combination. Refer to appendix
Dimension tables and appendix Wet--well installation
for details relating to appropriate fitting instructions and hole
dimensions.
4. Insertion of cable part # 59--24.01 and fitting. Install u--clamps
part # 571 with nuts part # 920.37 onto support piece, and
secure one end of the cable. Lead the cable around the
discharge elbow part # 72--1 and back again towards the
guide bracket and insert into u--clamps and tighten u--clamp
nuts. Manually tension the cable and secure by using
hexagonal nuts part # 920.37.
5. Tighten the cable by fastening the hexagonal nut part # 920.36
situated on top of the mounting bracket(s). Tighten the
hexagonal nut with a torque of MA as outlined in the table
Guide cable tension to achieve sufficient cable tension. Lock
in place using second hexagonal nut. Lock in place using
second hexagonal nut. Be sure to properly lubricate threaded
bold and first hexagonal nut before tightening to assure proper
cable tension.
6. The loose end of the cable at the clamp part # 572 can either
be twisted into a ring or the end can be cut off. After length
adjustment, seal off ends to avoid fraying.
7. Place hook part # 59--18 into the mounting bracket part # 894
to enable the lifting chain part # 885 or rope part # 59--24.02
to be attached at a later stage.

Transportable installation permits to operate the pumps in
different locations.
For example, they can be used for:
-- draining mines,
-- the emergency draining of canals,
-- pumping water out of rivers etc.
For such applications the pump must be installed in a vertical
position with the motor on the top and fitted to a firm base.

Start up / shut down

It is important to follow these requirements.

Any damage incurred as a result of
non--compliance is not covered by the guarantee.

Caution

Do not pump any media which is unsuitable

for the material outlined in the technical
documentation.

Ensure that the pump has been installed correctly to comply

with installation kit paragraph 5.6.
Should the pump have been out of service for a long period,
then the steps outlined in paragraph 6.4 must be carried out.

KRT
6.1.2
Start--up
The pump must be started up against a closed discharge side
check valve and open shut--off valve. If the discharge pipe is not
fitted with a check valve, the pump must be started up with the
shut--off valve slightly open and slowly opening further.
Pump start--up against a closed shut--off element
Caution
will result in increased wear.
Suitable valves must be installed to ensure that any high points
in the discharge piping are properly vented.
When the pump is started up via frequency inverter, short start
ramps must be ensured (approx. 3--5 s) for the motor to reach the
rotational speed corresponding to the mains frequency. Speed
controlled operation shall only start after approx. 2--5 minutes.
Pump start--up with long start ramps and low
Caution
frequency may cause clogging.

6.2

Limitation of the operating range

6.2.1
Minimum liquid level
The pump is ready for operation when the liquid level has reached
measuring mark R.
This minimum liquid level also applies to pumping stations with
automatic pump operation.
(Appendix General pump outline Fig. 6).
Built--in temperature controls within the winding will protect the
motor from overheating. If the motor overheats (for example
during long operation with a completely exposed motor), the
built--in temperature controls will switch off the motor and turn it
on again automatically after cooling down.
The control system must provide a protection against dry running
by stopping the pump automatically at water levels R and below
(cut--off contact, see 5.5.4).
Dry running leads to increased wear (and
Caution
tear) and should be avoided.

6.2.4
Abrasive media
When pumping media containing abrasive particles, increased
wear of hydraulic and mechanical seals must be expected. The
maintenance intervals must be halved compared to those usually
recommended (as outlined in paragraph 7.2). In addition, it is
recommended to limit the flow velocity the pipe to > 4.9 ft/s <16
ft/s/ > 1.5 m/sec < 5 m/sec in order to achieve the maximum
operating periods possible.
6.2.5
Starting frequency
In order to avoid overloading of winding, seals and bearings, the
following number of switching operations must not be exceeded:
Motor ratings up to
10 Hp / 7.5 kW max. 30/hr.
Motor ratings up to
125 Hp / 90 kW max. 20/hr.
5.000 switching operations per year as maximum.
6.2.6
Operating voltage
The maximum admissible deviation of the operating voltage
amounts to 10% of the rated voltage. The maximum admissible
voltage difference between the single phases amounts to +/--1%.
6.2.7
Frequency converter operation
The output frequency is limited at 60 Hz.
For the possible speed range the following criteria have to be
observed:
-- Qmin and Qmax according to characteristic curve,
-- minimum speed capable to carry solids,
-- minimum flow velocity to fully open a non--return valve,
-- inatural frequency ranges of pipe system.

Shut down / storage / preservation

If operation is not required until some time after delivery, we

recommend the following steps for storage of the pump:
6.3.1
Storage of new pumps
-- Spray the inside of the pump housing with oil, paying special
attention to the area around the impeller wear ring. Spray oil
through inlet and outlet flanges. It is then recommended to
cover the flanges with plastic caps or similar.
-- Store the pump in an upright position in a dry place. Support
all electrical cables at cable entry points to avoid permanent
distortion.
-- Electric connecting cables are capped securely for protection
purposes prior to delivery. This protection must not be
removed.
6.3.2
Measures for prolonged shut down periods
1. The pump remains installed ready for operation
whenrequired.
In order to maintain pump availability, the pump should be
switched on for brief periods (approx. 10 sec) once every
month.
2. The pump is dismantled and stored
Prior to storage the pump should be checked and maintained
in accordance with paragraph 7.1 and 7.2. Subsequently, the
preservation outlined in paragraph 6.3.1 must be carried out.

6.4

Re--starting pump after storage

Prior to re--starting the pump, all checks and maintenance steps

outlined in paragraphs 7.1 and 7.2 have to be carried out.
Always disconnect all electricity supplies prior to
working at the pump. Safeguard the pump from being
started accidentally. Otherwise, there will be danger to life.
In addition, free--running of the impeller should be
checked. This can be done by putting one hand into
the pump casing and manually turning the impeller.
When restarting the pump the items outlined in paragraph 6.1
and 6.2 have to be observed.
Immediately after completion of the maintenance
work, all safety and protection equipment has to be
installed expertly and must be set working.

7.2.1

Checking of the insulation resistance check

The insulation resistance of the motor winding has to be

checked every 4,000 hours but at least once a year during
general maintenance.
Measurements should be taken at the motor cable ends
(disconnected at the starting panel). The measurement should be
taken by using a megger.
--

Measuring voltage: max 1.000 V d.c. voltage.

The measurements to be taken are:

a. Winding against ground
-- All winding leads connected together, and measured to
ground lead (green--yellow),
b. Winding temperature sensor against ground
-- All winding ends be connected to ground (green--yellow
core).
All cable ends of the winding temperature sensors (21/22 or
10/11) must be connected to one another. Otherwise the
sensors will be damaged; measure to ground lead
(green--yellow).
The insulation resistance of the motor winding with cable ends
tied together must not be less than 1 MW. If measurements are
less, then cable and motor must be checked separately. During
the measurement procedure the supply cable must be
disconnected from the motor.
If the insulation resistance for the electric supply cable is less than
1 MW, this indicates damage a damaged cable and needs
replacement.
Low reading of the insulation resistance values of the motor
indicates that there is a fault in the winding. If this is the case,
contact KSB.

7.2.4
Checking of monitoring equipment
The sensors shall be checked every 10,000 operating hours or at
least every three years during general maintenance work.
The tests described below measure the resistance at the
conductor ends of the control cable. The actual function of the
sensors is not tested.
Never use voltages higher than 30V to check the
Caution
sensors!
a. Bimetal switch
Measure the resistance between terminals 21 and 22. The
resistance must be lower than 1W.
b. Thermistors (PTC)
Measure the resistance between terminals 10 and 11. The
resistance measured must be between 200 W. and 1000 W.
If the tolerances given are exceeded disconnect the control cable
at the pump and check again directly at the terminals inside the
motor. If tolerances are still exceeded, the winding will have to be
replaced.
c. Leakage sensors in the motor
Measure the resistance between terminal 9 and the earth
conductor (PE).
The resistance measured must be higher than 60kW. Lower
resistance values would suggest water ingress into the motor. In
this case the motor must be opened and overhauled.

7.2.2
Checking of the electric cable
-- Visual inspection of the electric cable.
Whenever the pump is inspected, the electrical supply cables
should also be checked with regard to damage such as cracks
or bubbles, due to either mechanical or chemical causes. If
such damage is detected, then all electric cables must be
replaced.
--

Checking the protective grounding conductors. Measurement

of the resistance between green--yellow cores and exposed
metal surface on pump. Resistance should be < 1W.
Never switch on a pump with a defective ground
conductor!

If the given values are exceeded, disconnect the electric cable at

the motor and check again directly at the motor. If values are
exceeded here also, the motor must be repaired; contact KSB.
7.2.3
Visual inspection of lifting chain / lifting rope
Maintenance checks to the pump should also include the lifting
chain / lifting rope inclusive of fitting to the pump with regard to
possible damage-caused either mechanically or chemically.
Damaged parts must be replaced by manufacturers original
spare parts.
This also refers to the correct fixing of the lifting chain / liftig rope
to the pump.

KRT
7.2.5
Oil change
The oil chamber of our submersible pump has been filled with
environmentally friendly, non--toxic paraffin oil of medical quality
on the pump end.
After every 10,000 hours of use, or three years, whichever
comes first, the oil must be changed.
Pumped liquid might enter the oil chamber when it is
warm after operation, which can cause a pressure rise
within the chamber. It is, therefore, advisable to cover the
filling plug 903 (with a cloth) during the opening process to
avoid hot liquid (squirting out) escaping.
Procedure:
(Appendix General pump outline).
Erect the pump as shown in Fig. 7 and put a suitable container
under the plug. Unscrew screwed plug part # 903 with joint ring
part # 411.03 and drain the oil.
The oil is light in color and transparent in appearance. Slight
discolouring, caused by running in of new mechanical seal or
small leakage of dirt via the pumped media will have no adverse
effect. Severe contamination of the oil by the pump media,
however, indicates damaged mechanical seals. In this case,
replace the mechanical seal.

7.5.2.1 Mechanical seal

In principle, we recommend to use new manufacturers spare
parts for mechanical seals. In this respect it should be noted:
To achieve perfect performance, it is important to ensure that all
parts are immaculately clean and that greatest care is taken
during the fitting of the mechanical seal. Protectors of the moving
surfaces must not be removed until immediately before fitting the
part. The surface of the shaft must be perfectly clean and
undamaged.
In principle to assist with the fitting of the bellows mechanical seal,
the inside of the bellows should be wetted with soapy water (do
not use oil).
Fitting of the bellows mechanical seal at the motor end.
To avoid damage to the rubber bellows by a keyway or shaft
recess, the shaft stub should be covered with a thin sheet of foil
(approx. 5...15 mils thick). Push the rotating unit over foil cover
and place into fitting position. Then remove the foil.
7.5.2.2 Impeller assembly
See section 7.4.3.
7.5.2.2.1 KRT D-Wear plate
The clearance between impeller part # 230 and wear plate part #
135 must be set to 0.012 + 0.008 in / 0.3 + 0.2 mm. Use screws
part # 914.12 and part # 914.24 for initial adjustment and
re-adjustment of the clearance.

KRT
7.5.2.3 Checking seals
After assembly the mechanical seal part oil chamber should be
tested for leaks.
Procedure:
(Appendix General pump outline Fig. 8).
The oil fill / drain hole is used to test for leaks. Securely screw the
testing device into the hole.
Test media:
Compressed air,
Test pressure:
max. 7.25 psi / 0.5 bar,
Test duration:
2 min.
Make sure that the pressure does not decrease during the
test. Afterwards, fill the oil chamber (compare para. 7.2.4).
7.5.2.4 Motor
Ensure prior to re--assembly of explosion proof motors that all
the special points outlined in paragraph 7.4.4 were observed. All
motors must be tested electrically in line with paragraph 6.1, 6.2

It is necessary to use one of both circuits to protect the
winding.
Using of bimetallic switches:
The conductors have to be directly connected to the control circuit
of the motor contactor.
It must switch of the pump when the maximum winding
temperature is reached and automatically on again after the
motor have cooled down.
Optional use of thermistors (PTC):
A thermistor control unit with manual / auto reset may be installed
in the control circuit of the motor.
It must switch off the pump when the maximum winding
temperature is reached.
In this case no additional equipment is necessary.
Temperature monitoring protects the motor in the
event of insufficient cooling. Safe and reliable
operation and explosion protection can only be ensured if
the temperature monitoring equipment is operational.

Leakage inside the motor

An electrode fitted inside the motor monitor the winding and
connection space for leakage. It must be connected to an
electrode relay. Tripping of the electrode relay must result in the
pump being cut out. The electrode relay (K1) must meet the
following requirements: Sensor circuit 10 to 30V~, tripping current
0.5 to 3 mA.
Check of the leakage sensor
Measure the resistance between terminal 9 and the earth
conductor (PE).
The resistance measured must be higher than 60 kW. Lower
resistance values would suggest water ingress into the motor. In
this case the motor must be opened and overhauled.
