End Suction Centrifugal
GS Series
If the pump was purchased without a motor, but the intention is to connect one during installation, you will
need to correct the shift of the coupling by inserting a plate under the feet of the motor, by adjusting the
disparity according to the range shown in the Figure.
The alignment operation is achieved by removing the coupling guard, although this will need to be refitted
carefully before starting up the pump.
The size of the coupling depends on the power and speed of the motor connected to the pump. For further
information contact EBARA.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Check that the motor is cooled properly, by leaving the air inlets and outlets unobstructed. Our recommendation
is to install the equipment in a ventilated place away from any heat source.
The condensate drainage outlets must be located in the lower part of the motor. The drainage caps can
only be removed when the motor is protected from the water.
6.6.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
All electrical connections of the equipment must be carried out by qualified personnel with the power supply
switched off.
- Use power supply cables that are adequately sized to carry the maximum current absorbed by the
motor, in addition to the margin set by local requirements; this will avoid any overheating and/or voltage
drops (voltage drops must be less than 5% during the start-up phase).
- Make sure the cables reach the terminal box with a curve that prevents water from getting in and
running over them.
- The contact surfaces of the connections must be clean and protected against rust. Do not place any
washers or nuts between the terminals on the motor and those providing access to the mains.
- Check the airtight sealing of the cable gland to ensure the degree of protection indicated on the
nameplate.
- Avoid any mechanical stress being transferred to the motor terminals.
- Comply with the current and frequency limits indicated on the nameplate of the motor.
- A switch must be installed to prevent any accidents involving electrical discharges, and overload
protection against power surges for motors with the aim of avoiding any damage due to overheating.
