SAFETY - SECTION A

The following information applies

throughout this manual to Gorman‐

Rupp S Series submersible motor driv

en pumps.

This manual will alert personnel to

known procedures which require spe

cial attention, to those which could

damage equipment, and to those which

could be dangerous to personnel. How

ever, this manual cannot possibly antici

pate and provide detailed instructions

and precautions for every situation that

might occur during maintenance of the

unit. Therefore, it is the responsibility of

the owner/maintenance personnel to

ensure that only safe, established main

tenance procedures are used, and that

any procedures not addressed in this

manual are performed only after estab

lishing that neither personal safety nor

pump integrity are compromised by

such practices.

This manual contains essential informa

tion on troubleshooting and maintain

ing the pump. In addition to this manual,

see the separate literature covering in

stallation and operation, pump parts,

and any optional equipment shipped

with the pump.

Before attempting to open or service the

pump:

1. Familiarize yourself with this man

ual.

2. Lock out incoming power to the

control box to ensure that the

pump will remain inoperative.

3. Allow the pump to completely cool

if overheated.

4. Close the discharge valve (if

used).

This pump is not designed to pump vol

atile, explosive, or flammable materials.

Do not attempt to pump any liquids for

which your pump is not approved, or

which may damage the pump or endan

ger personnel as a result of pump fail

ure. Consult the factory for specific

application data.

Before connecting any cable to the con

trol box, be sure to ground the control

box. Refer to the Control Box manual for

the suggested grounding methods.

The pump motor is designed to be oper

ated through the control box furnished

with the pump. The control box provides

overload protection and power control.

Do not connect the pump motor directly

to the incoming power lines.

The electrical power used to operate

this pump is high enough to cause inju

ry or death. Obtain the services of a qu

alified electrician to make all electrical

connections. Make certain that the

pump and enclosure are properly

grounded; never use gas pipe as an

electrical ground. Be sure that the in

coming power matches the voltage and

S SERIES PUMPS MR-04314

PAGE A-2 SAFETY

phase of the pump and control before

connecting the power source. Do not

run the pump if the voltage is not within

the limits. If the overload unit is tripped

during pump operation, correct the

problem before restarting the pump.

The electrical power used to operate

this pump is high enough to cause inju

ry or death. Make certain that the control

handle on the control box is in the OFF

position and locked out, or that the pow

er supply to the control box has been

otherwise cut off and locked out, before

attempting to open or service the pump

assembly. Tag electrical circuits to pre

vent accidental start‐up.

Never attempt to alter the length or re

pair any power cable with a splice. The

pump motor and cable must be com

pletely waterproof. Injury or death may

result from alterations.

All electrical connections must be in ac

cordance with The National Electric

Code and all local codes. If there is a

conflict between the instructions pro

vided and N.E.C. Specifications, N.E.C.

Specifications shall take precedence.

All electrical equipment supplied with

this pump was in conformance with

N.E.C. requirements in effect on the

date of manufacture. Failure to follow

applicable specifications, or substitu

tion of electrical parts not supplied or

approved by the manufacturer, can re

sult in severe injury or death and void

warranty.

After the pump has been installed, make

certain that the pump and all piping or

hose connections are secure before op

eration.

Approach the pump cautiously after it

has been running. Although the motor is

cooled by the liquid being pumped, nor

mal operating temperatures can be high

enough to cause burns. The tempera

ture will be especially high if operated

against a closed discharge valve. Never

operate against a closed discharge

valve for long periods of time.

Do not attempt to lift the pump by the

motor power cable or the piping. Attach

proper lifting equipment to the lifting

device fitted to the pump. If chains or

cable are wrapped around the pump to

lift it, make certain that they are posi

tioned so as not to damage the pump,

and so that the load will be balanced.

Obtain the services of a qualified elec

trician to troubleshoot, test and/or ser

vice the electrical components of this

pump.

ELECTRICAL TESTING

If you suspect that pump malfunctions are caused

by defects in the motor, power cable or control box,

perform the following checks to help isolate the de

fective part.

Obtain the services of a qualified elec

trician to troubleshoot, test and/or ser

vice the electrical components of this

pump.

Be certain to refer to the wiring diagram(s)

in the Installation Section of this manual be

fore reconnecting any electrical compo

nents which have been disconnected.

Test Equipment

A volt/amp/ohmmeter and megohmeter of ade

quate range and quality will be required to conduct

the following electrical tests. The suggested equip

ment indicated below is commercially available, or

an equivalent substitute may be used.

Equipment Use

Ammeter To check AC Voltage

and current (amperage)

Ohmeter To measure resistance

(ohms) to ground

Voltage Imbalance

Each phase of the incoming three‐phase power

must be balanced with the other two as accurately

as a commercial voltmeter will read. If the phases

are balanced, check out the motor as described

below. If the phases are out of balance, contact

your power company and request that they correct

the condition.

a. Use a voltmeter, amprobe, or equivalent me

ter to read the voltage across terminals 1 &

2, 2 & 3, and 1 & 3 in the control box. All three

measured voltages must be the same, as

accurately as the meter will read. If possible,

measure the voltage with the pump off, with

the pump running but out of the water, and

with the pump running in the water at full

load. All the measured voltages at each con

dition must be the same.

b. Use an amprobe or equivalent meter to

measure the current draw of each phase

while the pump is running at full load and at

no load. All three amperage readings must

S SERIES PUMPS MR-04314

TROUBLESHOOTINGPAGE B - 4

be the same at each condition, as accurate

ly as the meter will read. Nominal amperage

values are listed in Table 1, but these apply

only when the actual voltage at the site is the

nominal voltage listed.

c. If the voltages are balanced with the pump

off, but are unbalanced when the pump is

running, a thorough check of the power

source, all interconnecting cables, and the

pump motor is required to isolate the defect.

Motor And Motor Power Cable Continuity

To check continuity, zero‐balance the ohmmeter

set at the RX1 scale, and test as follows:

a Disconnect the motor power cable leads

from the control box and connect the test

leads to any two of the three power cable

leads (not to the green ground lead or yellow

ground check lead). If there is a high resis

tance reading on the ohmmeter, there is an

open or broken circuit caused by a break in

the power cable or motor windings, or by a

bad connection between the motor and the

power cable. Switch one test lead to the

third power lead, and test again.

b. If an open or broken circuit is indicated,

check the power cable for obvious damage,

and replace as necessary (see MAINTE

NANCE AND REPAIR). If there is no appar

ent damage to the motor cable, remove the

terminal housing (see MAINTENANCE

AND REPAIR) and check the continuity of

each power cable lead at the terminal posts.

NOTE

When shipped from the factory, the connections be

tween the power cable leads and the terminal posts

were encapsulated in heat shrink tubing and

bonded to the terminal plate to provide a water tight

seal. In service, these connections may have been

potted by the pump operator. Do not cut the tubing

or potting away unless absolutely necessary.

Check the continuity of each lead from the motor

side of the terminal plate. If the continuity is good,

there is no need to remove the tubing or potting ma

terial. If there is no continuity through the lead, re

move the tubing or potting from only that terminal,

and check for a loose connection. Be sure to re

place the tubing or potting and allow adequate dry

ing time before putting the pump back into service.

(See Power Cable Reassembly, Section E).

c. If an open circuit still exists after each lead

(terminal) has been tested and tightened,

then the entire motor power cable must be

replaced. Splicing or other means of repair

are not recommended.

d. If no break is found in the power cable,

check the motor leads for continuity. If the

test reading indicates an open or broken cir

cuit, there is an open circuit in the motor.

NOTE

It is recommended that a pump with a defective mo

tor be returned to Gorman‐Rupp, or to one of the

Gorman‐Rupp authorized Submersible Repair

Centers.

Insulation Resistance

To check insulation, zero‐balance the ohmmeter

set at the RX100K scale, and test as follows:

a. Disconnect the motor power cable leads

from the control box. Connect one test lead

to the power cable green ground lead, and

touch the other test lead to each of the three

power leads in turn.

b. The reading obtained will indicate resis

tance values in both the power cable and the

motor windings. If the resistance reading is

infinity (1), the insulation is in good condi

tion. If the reading is between infinity (1)

and 1 megohm, the insulation is acceptable

but should be rechecked periodically. If the

reading is less than 1 megohm, the insula

tion should be checked more closely; a

reading of zero indicates that the power

cable or the motor is grounded.

c. To determine whether the power cable or

the motor is grounded, remove the terminal

housing (see MAINTENANCE AND RE

PAIR), disconnect the motor leads from the

motor terminals, and test the power cable

leads and motor leads separately.
