8.2.2
Measuring the insulation resistance of the motor
Measure the insulation resistance whenever performing maintenance work.
Measurements must be taken at the cable ends.
The measurements must be carried out using an insulation resistance measuring
device (hand-crank megger).
▪
Measuring voltage for three-phase units: 1000 V DC
▪
Measuring voltage for single-phase units: 500 V DC
The insulation resistance must not be less than 2 M
Ω.
If this value is not reached, the motor or cable are damaged, and the motor must be
overhauled.
For this purpose always contact KSB's service centres.
8.2.3
Unblocking the cutter
mini-Compacta US, UZS
If the water level in the tank rises and the alert is triggered without the pump
starting up, the cutter may be blocked.
To unblock the cutter:
1.
2.
Remove screw plug 903.01 at the motor housing. Use a socket wrench (WAF 8)
on the hex. head of the shaft end to turn the rotor to and fro until it turns
freely again.
3.
Fit screw plug 903.01 with joint ring 411.01 again.
4.
NOTE
If the blocked pump has been tripped by the thermal motor protection, it will be
operational again after approx. 15 minutes.
