The medium to be separated is fed into the decanter through the central feed pipe (1).
The denser solids settle against the bowl wall (2) under the influence of the centrifugal
force.
The two liquid phases (3,4) , which have different densities, form hollow cylinders, the
light phase the inner one, the heavy phase the outer one.
The thickness of the individual liquid rings is determined by the adjustment of the
overflow weir (5) and the variable impeller (6).
The solids deposited on the bowl wall (7) are transported towards the conical end of the
bowl (9) by the conveyor scroll (8) to the discharge ports (10) and discharged into the
solids housing.
Uk1_1_1_3x8-4_280689_Pre
Flottweg
Function 1.1/2
The moisture content of the discharged solids and the purity of the liquid can be adapted:
a) by changing the separation line between the two liquids by means of the variable
impeller and a wide selection of phase separation disks:
- lower moisture content of the solids by chosing a larger diameter of the phase
separation disk and thereby increasing the drainage zone
- optimum quality of the heavy phase by maximum difference between the
impeller diameter and the diameter of the phase separation disk
- optimum quality of the light phase by minimum difference between the impeller
diameter and the diameter of the phase separation disk
b) by changing the bowl speed:

- the finer the solids, the higher the bowl speed necessary for satisfactory
separation results.
c) by changing the scroll differential speed:

- the lower the desired moisture content of the discharged solids,
the lower you set the differential speed.
- the higher the solids content in the inlet,
the higher the required differential speed.
Note: The optimum machine setting can only be determined by careful testing.

Flottweg
Danger at the machine
Rotating parts may bruise or cut off fingers and hands.

Operate centrifuge only with properly mounted safety
covers!
WARNING
The main risk at the machine is the fast rotating rotor and its drive unit.
Rotor, belt drive and motor may bruise or cut off fingers and hands.
Therefore hood and covers must not be removed before the rotor is at standstill.
As a matter of principle, before maintenance and dismounting work, make sure that the
rotor stands still and is secured against restarting.
The solids are centrifuged downwards out of the solids

housing with great power.
Danger of injury to fingers and hands.
Never put your hand into it!
DANGER Always take solids samples with suitable tool.
The solids chute has to be lead closed up to the conveyor or collecting tank.
Thereby sound emission is reduced and ejected parts (kernels, stones, etc.) are
prevented from rebounding from the floor and thus causing injuries.
With hydraulic drives oil may squirt out under high pressure
due to damages at individual components.
This may cause injuries especially to the eyes and
poisoning.
In case of contact with skin and eyes take measures as
WARNING
stated in the provided safety data sheet.
During operation without product the temperature of the

centrifuge can increase inadmissibly high. Therefore the
centrifuge may be operated without product for maximum
CAUTION two hours.
After two hours:

- Either switch the bowl drive off
- or reduce the bowl speed to 30%
- or flush the decanter for cooling
Flottweg
Measures in an emergency
In the event of an emergency the machine/facility is to be stopped immediately.
In case of fire, the operating company must provide for the immediate disconnection of
power and other firefighting measures. Fast-running centrifuges can generate large
amounts of heat in cases of extreme damage, igniting flammable substances.
After an emergency shutdown or a power failure, the machine may only be restarted by
hand. An automatic restart is not permitted.
The defects have to be eliminated before starting up again.
Maintenance or dismounting works

Maintenance or dismounting work may only be performed by the operator according to
the instructions and up to the extent stated in the operating instructions. Other
maintenance and repair work than described in the operating instructions is only to be
performed by persons which are especially authorised by Flottweg.
No changes, attachments or modifications are allowed to be made to the machine
without the express approval of Flottweg . Original spare parts and accessories
approved by Flottweg will aid safety. The usage of other parts renders void any liability
for the consequences.
Water endangering medium or fuel, if flowing out at maintenance work or through
leakages, must by no means reach the ground or the sewerage system. When
exchanging oil or removing excessive or worn grease, pay special attention to
environmental protection and professional waste disposal.
Substances are to be bound with suitable absorbents immediately.
No objects must be deposited on the machine. They might slip below the protective
covers, be caught by rotating parts and thrown off.
Before maintenance and dismounting work always
- switch off machine
- wait until machine comes to a complete standstill
(depending on the type up to 45 minutes)
- check if rotor stands still (e.g. fan blade at the main motor)
- secure against restarting (e.g. padlocks at the main switch)
Authorized operators
Juveniles under 18 years are not allowed to operate the machine.
All operating and maintenance work is only to be performed under observance of the
pertinent laws and general directions.
The machine may only be operated by persons who have read and also understood the
operating instructions and who are familiar with the whole facility.
Work at electrical parts and wirings is only to be performed by trained electrical
specialists under observance of the pertinent laws and general directions.
The plant has to be secured against unauthorized operation by a key-operated
switch.
Noise emission
The accoustic power level of a machine cannot be stated generally, as it differs
according to the size and adjusted speed of the respective machine.
Exact values can be gathered from the sound level table.

Cleaning 2.3
1. Thoroughly clean the decanter immediately after stopping the supply of feed
material and before stopping the motor.
Max. water temperature 80° C.
Water consumption and flushing periods: depending on product
Note: If the decanter is not cleaned as required, restarting will

be complicated, especially after storage periods, due to
product deposits.
2. Cleaning procedures
2.1 Cleaning the bowl interior and the scroll (15 min)
- stop feed / flocculant introduction
- feed water through feed pipe and flush machine
- operate skimmer between min. and max. diameter several times:
at min. diameter liquid will flow through solids discharge openings
after some time and flush the solids housing
- as soon as effluent is clear water:
turn skimmer to max. diameter, stop supply,
turn off decanter and wait until rotor stops,
adjust skimmer to standard diameter
Note: After turning off the decanter, close centrate shut off valve, if centrate is
conveyed to a rising drain pipe without pump via the skimmer, otherwise main
bearings may be flooded by return flow of the head of liquid to the skimmer.
2.2 Flushing skimmer chamber via centrate line

- at 1/2 speed (1st motor step or with rotor slowing down)
introduce water until it flows over at the solids discharge side
- repeat several times if required
- switch off decanter

Lubrication instruction 3.2/1-1
Oil-air lubrication
1. Function
Both main bearings are supplied by a separate oil-air-lubrication system. After expiration
of the adjusted interval, oil is conveyed through the piston pump to the dosing unit and
from there delivered to the steady passing compressed air. Fluid drops are dispersed
streakily by a steady air flow and conveyed to the greasing points. The oil remains in the
friction point, the air escapes almost oilfree outside.
Make sure that the lubrication starts before the centrifuge is

started and only stops after the rotor has come to a
standstill.
CAUTION
2. Adjustments
Pause time
The interval is adjusted at the switch board.
Set value: see sect. 3.1
Air pressure
Adjust air pressure at the control valve (3) to 4.5...5 bar by handwheel.

3. First commissioning
1. Control correct laying of feed lines and return lines.
2. Connect compressed air at the valve (2).
3. Adjust air pressure at the control valve (4) to 4.5...5 bar.
4. Fill tank with oil up to “MAX”.
5. Remove greasing lines at the bearing blocks.
6. Control pause time adjustment.
7. Release lubrication (centrifuge must not yet start).
8. Vent the dosing unit:
- Open upper screw (1), actuate pressure switch (9) shortly one time and collect
leaking oil, turn in screw (1).
- Loosen threaded pin (hexagon socket 2mm) at the bottom of the dosing unit (5)
for one turn, actuate pressure switch (9) approx.15 seconds and collect leaking
oil, turn in threaded pin. The threaded pin is located in the center of the screw,
which is marked with figure 10.
Repeat this procedure for each lubricating line.
9. Activate pressure switch (9) several times by hand until oil emerges at the end of
the greasing lines (control with palm, palm must feel oily).
10. Connect lubricating lines at the bearing blocks.
11. Activate pressure switch (9) several times by hand, until oil appears in the return
lines. Control if the air from the collecting tank can exhaust unhindered. (Not
applicable with decanter type Z 73)
12. Functional control at the pressure switch (6+7): reduce air pressure at the control
valve below 4 bar until the fault signal for "air pressure missing" and "oil pressure
missing" appears at the switch board; Adjust air pressure according to step 3.
13. Functional control oil level switch (8): Loosen fixing screws; Pull out level switch until
fault signal appears at the switch board; Install level switch again.

Safety instructions on operational breakdown 4.1/1
Materials/corrosion (also chemical attack)

Ensure that the product and the rinsing liquids do not have a corrosive effect on the used
materials (see 1.3).
If corrosion is detected, the centrifuge must be switched

off immediately.
Corrosion will damage the materials of the centrifuge which
WARNING can affect operational safety.
Before putting the machine into operation again, the causes of the corrosion must be
determined and eliminated, corroded parts must be replaced!
If there is any corrosion, due to its electrochemical nature, all contact points of product
and material will be concerned. Thus, a component may be weakened more severely
than may be expected due to a superficial loss in mass.
Corrosion is often only noticed after a longer period of time, therefore the machine must
be checked for corrosion regularly.
In case of uncertainties, consult an authorised expert.
Wear
If excessive wear is detected, the centrifuge must be

switched off immediately.
Excessive wear of bowl and housing parts will lead to an
WARNING inadmissible weakening of the components and to
unbalances which can affect operational safety.
Before putting the machine into operation again, the causes of the wear must be
determined.
Measures to prevent and control this phenomenon must be taken.
Worn parts must be replaced.
The following limit values apply:

Point of wear max. material removal
Bowl body, internal / external 1,5 mm

Deposits of whirling solids in the housing
Deposits of solids in the housing can build up until they

reach the rotating bowl and can heat up due to the
generated friction or even ignite.
This may lead to machine damage and risk to
CAUTION employees.
Observe deposits and rinse regularly.
The tendency to form deposits depends on the product and must be observed upon
initial commissioning (for inspection open the housing).
To remove deposits it is necessary to carry out intermediate rinsing measures at regular
intervals during the operation.
Deposits of solids on the internal surface of the scroll pipe

Small portions of the fed product which are whirled about can be centrifuged at the
internal surface of the scroll and lead to deposits of solids.
Deposits of solids in the scroll interior will cause unbalances.

Strong unbalances may lead to machine damage and risk
to employees.
CAUTION Observe deposits and rinse regularly.
The tendency to form deposits depends on the product and must be observed upon
initial commissioning (vibrations and noise).
To remove deposits it is necessary to carry out intermediate rinsing measures at regular
intervals during the operation.
Blockage
Blockage will lead to undesired operating conditions and switching-off due to scroll
overload and thus to machine/facility breakdown and product loss.
To avoid blockage, the machine is fitted with a system to monitor and control the scroll
torque.
If the torque increases, the differential speed will be increased at first. If the torque
continues to increase, the product feed will be interrupted, until the torque sinks again.
Should, nevertheless, the torque continue to rise, the machine will be stopped.

Flottweg
Flottweg-SIMP-CONTROL®
1. Set-up
The special feature of the Flottweg SIMP-DRIVE® is the fact that the bowl and the scroll
drives do not affect each other. Bowl speed (n) and differential speed (nDD) are
controlled separately and independently of each other and they are proportional to the
frequency of the corresponding converter.
The desired speed is set at the bowl drive.

At the scroll drive the SIMP-CONTROL® is installed additionally to monitor and control
the scroll torque. The SIMP-CONTROL® consists of the controller and the frequency
converter of the scroll drive as control element. The frequency converter receives the
output signal (Y) from the controller as control variable for the differential speed and
returns an analog signal as actual torque value (X) to the controller.

2. Control of the scroll drive

The below listed features of the controller apply irrespective of its model, e.g. as
industrial controller or software component of a control programme.
2.1 Operating modes, function and selection

In the operating mode Manual operation, the differential speed (output signal Y) is set
directly by the operator and remains constantly at the stipulated value. The display of the
scroll torque is only for information purposes.
In the operating mode Automatic operation, the scroll torque (controlled variable X) is
adjusted to the nominal torque value (W) set by the operator.
The controller responds to a scroll torque exceeding the nominal value by increasing the
differential speed (output signal Y). Thus, more solids is transported from the centrifuge
and the torque decreases. If the torque drops below the nominal value, the differential
speed is reduced again.
The selection of the optimum operating mode depends on the properties of the
product, consequently this is only a recommendation.
Manual:
“Soft products” where a differential speed change hardly causes any torque change.
Typical here is a relatively low torque over a wide differential speed range.
Automatic:
Compacting product where there is an obvious connection between differential
speed change and torque change. Typical are high torques, primarily at low
differential speeds.

2.2 Configuration of the control

To achieve the optimum separation result, the setting of operating mode, control
parameters and limiting values must be adapted to the product during commissioning.

Parameters which are always active:

- Limits of the differential speed (output signals “Ymin“ and “Ymax“)

Note:

The stipulated setting values relate to the controllers supplied by Flottweg. Controllers
of other brands might feature a different control behaviour and thus require other
settings.
Flottweg
2.3 Information on the individual setting parameters
Nominal torque value (W):

In automatic operation, this parameter defines which torque shall activate the control.
By changing the differential speed, the automatic control constantly tries to operate the
machine at this torque. If the torque is rising, the differential speed will be increased and
vice versa.
The nominal torque value is set in percent of the available drive torque. It is to be set to
such a value as is required by the separation task.
As a rule, a higher torque results in a lower residual moisture content of the solids.
MIN output signal (Y min):

With this parameter, the minimum differential speed is defined which still enables the
operation of the scroll drive.
If the current torque is lower than the nominal torque value (W), the scroll drive will be
set to the minimum differential speed (e.g. when starting the machine).
This parameter is to be entered in percent, the resulting minimum differential speed can
be read off the speed display.
Set the MIN output signal (Y min) sufficiently small to ensure a quick torque build-up
when starting the machine.
MAX output signal (Y max):

With this parameter, it is possible to enter the maximum differential speed to which the
controller can increase the differential speed.
The automatic differential speed adjustment by the controller takes place within the
limiting values (Y min) and (Y max).
Flottweg
Controller parameters (Xp, Tn, Tv):

The controller parameters Xp, Tn and Tv define the transient response characteristic of
the controller, i.e. how intensely and how quickly the controller responds to a torque
change.
Proportional range (Xp):

The proportional range Xp (P portion) is a reciprocal of the controller gain.
This parameter defines how intensely the controller responds to a torque change.
A high Xp value causes a weak response by the controller.
According to our experience, an Xp value of 20% ensures a stable operation of the
automatic control, therefore optimisation can be started with this setting.
Reset time (Tn):

The reset time Tn (I portion) defines how quickly the controller responds to a torque
change.
A high Tn value causes a slow response by the controller.
According to our experience, a Tn value of 80 s ensures a stable operation of the
automatic control, therefore optimisation can be started with this setting.
Derivative time (Tv):

Via derivative time Tv (D portion), it is possible to set a very quick response by the
controller.
According to our experience, the torque changes relatively slowly which means that
a long derivative time is not necessary, therefore always set the Tv value to 1s.
Optimisation of the controller parameters:
Problem: Cause: Remedy:

Controller oscillates, i.e. Controller intervenes 1st step: increase Xp if
the torque oscillates too much required
regularly 2nd step: increase Tn
Torque changes are not Controller intervenes 1st step: reduce Xp if
sufficiently controlled too little required
2nd step: reduce Tn
Note:
When changing the parameters (Xp) or (Tn), first double or halve the value until a
clear reaction can be noticed.
Then optimise setting in small steps.
Flottweg
“Product feed off”:

If the nominal torque value (W) is exceeded for the set value, the control switches off the
product feed, to prevent the clogging of the centrifuge.
The parameter is entered in percent of the set nominal torque value (W); the value
should exceed the nominal torque value (W) sufficiently depending on the separation
task.
A time delay is entered in the control which ensures that a short torque peak does not
immediately lead to a switch-off of the product feed.
“Bowl drive off”:

When this torque value is reached, the control will switch off the bowl drive to prevent
the clogging of the centrifuge.
The scroll drive is not switched off to clear the centrifuge.
The parameter is entered in percent of the available drive torque; the value should
exceed the switch-off point “Product feed off” sufficiently depending on the separation
task.
A time delay is entered in the control which ensures that a short torque peak does not
immediately lead to a switch-off of the bowl drive.
Fixed value differential speed (Y2)

With this parameter, a fixed value can be set for differential speed.
If this fixed value is selected by the machine control, the machine operates constantly at
this differential speed (without control!).
This mode of operation makes sense during rinsing processes or when the bowl drive is
switched off, e.g. while the machine is running out.
The parameter is to be entered in percent; the resulting differential speed can be read off
the speed display.

1. Function
With the SIMP-DRIVE® the scroll differential speed can be changed independent of the
bowl speed. The differential speed is analog to the speed of the belt pulley scroll drive.
2. Operating performance
By comparatively high-speed roll motions inside the gear, the oil is heated correspondingly.
Primarily the operating temperature is depending on the bowl speed, furthermore on the
differential speed and load.
At high speed the operating temperature can be 50°...60°C over the ambient temperature.
The oil expansion caused thereby is collected by an expansion tank. The ambient
temperature should not exceed 40°C.
3. Directions for the operator

3.1 Oil level
The gear has an oil - full filling. An additional oil conservator is in the expansion tank, which
is controlled by a float switch. Thereby in case of oil loss the machine is switched off.
Process as follows:
- control of oil level (s. oil exchange)
- control of leakage (position of dynamic seals s. sketch)
3.2 Cooling
The openings of the belt guard and the lower part of the belt drive must by no means be
closed or covered.
Adjacent walls or similar must be in a distance of min. 1m.
Uk-6_SP_309_310_311_110613-Li
3.3 Overload
The converter for the scroll drive should give two signals, analog to the torque. With the
first, the product feed is stopped until the torque has dropped again. If this is not sufficient,
with the second signal at higher torque the machine is stopped.

Flottweg-SIMP-DRIVE® Gear SP 3.09 / SP 3.10 / SP 3.11
4. Oil-Exchange
- Remove 3 locking screws; open cover of
expansion tank.
- Let oil drain off completely; section A-A
let it drip sufficient.
Take care that expansion tank also empties.
- Locking screws are magnetic, to catch
abrasion; clean screws.
- Exchange seals at locking screws.
- Screw in 1 locking screw.

Attention! Take care that surface of seals is
clean.
- Fill oil through top opening.
If oil level reaches side locking screws
(venting) close it.
- Now fill gear completely.

Turn primary shaft approx. 20 times, to
remove possible air inclusions.
- Screw in last locking screw
- Fill oil into the expansion tank until oil
level is between the two marks at the
dipstick.
- Close expansion tank.
Type of oil: see page 3.1

Oil quantity: see page 3.1
Oil changing interval
- First change
oil level
with new gear after 500 operating hours.
(Through the inlet process abrasion is
produced which settles in the oil and at the
magnetic locking screws and which has to be
removed.
- regular: see page 3.1
- extraordinary: after damage

4 ÜBERPRÜFUNG UND WARTUNG VON Ex MOTOREN

Die Kontroll- und Wartungskriterien für Ex-Motoren sind in der Norm EN / IEC 60079-17, mit Ausführung
folgender Überprüfungen, festgelegt:
- Überprüfen Sie, ob alle elektrischen Verbindungen fest angezogen sind. Lockere Anschlüsse haben
höhere Übergangswiderstände und einen unkontrollierten Temperaturanstieg an dieser Verbindungsstelle
zur Folge.
- Überprüfen Sie, ob der Mindestluftabstand und die in der Norm EN 50019 festgelegte Mindest-
Luftstrecke zwischen den spannungsführenden Bauteilen eingehalten wird.
- Überprüfen Sie, ob alle Verbindungen und Verbindungselemente (z. B. Schrauben) fest angezogen sind.
- Zur Gewährleistung der Schutzart, sind bei der Auswechselung von Dichtungen für Kabel- und
Leitungseinführungen, nur bescheinigte oder vom Hersteller gelieferte Originalteile einzusetzen.
- Die zünddurchschlagsicheren Ex Spalte dürfen nicht nachbearbeitet werden. Werden Ersatzdichtungen
gefordert, so dürfen sie nur dann eingesetzt werden, wenn sie vom Hersteller vorgesehen und bescheinigt
sind. Die zünddurchschlagsicheren Spalte dürfen nur gesäubert werden. Um Korrosion oder Wassereintritt
zu verhindern, müssen die Spalte einen dünnen Silikon-Fettfilm erhalten (oder ein ähnliches Produkt).
5 REPARATUR VON EXPLOSIONSGESCHÜTZTEN MOTOREN

Die Reparaturkriterien für Ex-Motoren sind in der Norm EN / IEC 60079-19 festgelegt.
Im Falle einer Reparatur von Ex-Motoren, muss diese im Werk des Herstellers, oder in Werstätten, die vom
Hersteller nach dem ATEX / IEC - Verfahren zugelassen und bescheinigt und qualifiziert wurden, gemacht
werden.
Diese Verfahren sind in WEG-ATEX / IEC Handbuch zur Wartung von Geräten für den Einsatz in
explosionsgefährdeten Bereichen beschrieben WEG übernimmt keine Verantwortung für Schaden, die
durch Reparatur von nicht zugelassenen und nicht bescheinigten Werkstätten und von nicht qualifizierten
Personen, ohne Kenntnissen und Erfahrungen über die Sicherheit von explosionsgeschützten Motoren
ausgeführt wurden.
6 GEWÄHRLEISTUNG
Die Gewährleistungsfrist für WEG Produkte beträgt 18 (achtzehn) Monate für Herstellungs- und
Materialfehler nach Ausstellung der Rechnung vom Werk, zugelassenen Verteilern/Vertretern, beschränkt
auf 24 (vierundzwanzig) Monate nach Herstellungsdatum, unabgesehen vom Datum des Einbaues, insofern
folgende Forderungen erfüllt sind:
- Geeigneter Transport, Handhabung und Lagerung;
-Ordnungsgemäßer Einbau in Umgebungsbedingungen für die der Motor entwickelt wurde;
- Betrieb gemäß der Maschinenfähigkeit;
- Ausführungen von periodischen und vorbeugenden Wartungen;
- Reparaturen oder Ersatz von Bauteilen dürfen nur von Personen durchgeführt werden, die schriftlich von
WEG zugelassen wurden;
- Werden Fehler festgestellt, muss die Maschine dem Lieferanten zur Verfügung gestellt werden, damit er
die Fehler identifizieren und die entsprechende Reparatur ausführen kann;
- Werden Fehler festgestellt, muss der Käufer den Verkäufer sofort darüber informieren. Dieser Fehler muss
später von WEG als Herstellungsfehler festgestellt werden.
Die Gewährleistung schließt nicht Demontagearbeiten beim Käufer ein. Produkt- und
Personentransportkosten, Hotelkosten, und Verpflegung des Servicepersonals werden vom Käufer
getragen, wenn diese Arbeit von ihm gefordert wurde. Alle Arbeiten unter Gewährleistung werden
ausschließlich in von WEG zugelassenen Reparatur- Werkstätten oder im Werk des Herstellers
durchgeführt. Bauteile, deren Lebensdauer im Normalbetrieb kürzer ist als die Gewährleistungsfrist, sind
nicht Bestandteil dieser Gewährleistung. Die Reparatur oder der Ersatz von mangelhaften Bauteilen, selbst
wenn sie von WEG oder ihre zugelassenen Reparatur- Werkstätten durchgeführt wurden, verlängert auf
keinen Fall die Originalgewährleistungsfrist.
Diese Gewährleistung beschränkt sich allein auf die gelieferten Produkte. WEG übernimmt keine Haftung für
Personenschäden, oder Folgeschäden, oder Schäden an Maschinen oder Einrichtungen, Verdienstverluste
oder andere Schäden, die von dieser Maschine verursacht wurden.

2.4 CONNEXION DES CABLES D’ALIMENTATION DANS LA BOÎTE A BORNES

Elles doivent être conçues suivant les normes pour l’installation et les types de protections spécifiées en 2.1.
Quand des presse-étoupes sont utilisés dans la boîte à bornes, les mêmes doivent être choisi selon les

caractéristiques du moteur et la section transversale des cables, de façon à :
- Éviter la transmission de vibrations mécaniques aux terminaux du moteur.
- Garantir le degré de protection “IP” de la boîte à bornes (l’ étanchéité).
- Toutes les entrées non utilisées de toutes les boites à bornes doivent êtres obturées par
un bouchon fileté certifié suivant les normes spécifiées au point 2.1, pour le même type de
protection que celui du moteur.
- Pour les boîtes à bornes “Ex d”, les entrées du câble doivent être faites avec l’utilisation
des presse-étoupes “Ex d”, certifié selon la Norme EN 50014–EN 50018 (Génération E
97/53/EC) ou ATEX (94/9/EC) et avec niveau de protection minimum IP55.
- Pour les boîtes à bornes “Ex de”, il est exigé l’utilization de presse-étoupes “Ex e”,
certifiés selon la Norme EN 50014–EN 50019 (génération E) ou ATEX, et avec un niveau de
protection minimum IP55.
- Pour assurer le degré de protection, il faut utiliser seulement des joints originaux fournis

2.5 CONNEXIONS DE LA MISE A LA TERRE
En plus de la connexion de la mise à la terre à l’intérieur de la boîte à bornes, les moteurs ADFs sont
equipés avec une seconde “connexion de la mise à la terre”, à l’extérieur de la boîte à bornes.
La connection de la mise à la terre doit prendre en considération le courant nominal (section transversale
du conducteur (mm²), selon tableau ci-dessous:
Cable d’alimentation Cable de la mise à la terre
S ≤ 16 mm² S (mm²)
16 < S ≤ 35 mm² 16 mm²
S > 35 mm² 0.5 S (mm²)
2.6 AUTRES INSTRUCTIONS POUR L’INSTALLATION
Les moteurs anti- déflagrant doivent être protégés contre surcharge par moyen d’un dispositif incorporé
dans le moteur (c’est à dire, de C.T.P. inserée dans la tête de I’enroulement) ou, par des dispositifs
indépendants.
Au moment de l’installation, c’est aussi important de vérifier si le refrodissement du moteur sera
approprié ou pas avec la disponibilité d’air. Pour cette raison, le tableau suivante informe quelles
sont les distances minimum entre le moteur et n’importe quelle autre structure qui puisse perturber la
ventilation:

3.1.3 Commutation de Fréquence
La fréquence minimum de commutation est de 2,5kHz.
3.1.4 Type de couple avec charge

Pour l’application avec couple parabolique, le moteur peut opérer de 10% jusqu’à 100% de la fréquence
nominale dès que le couple de la charge dans la fréquence nominale soit de 95% du couple nominal du
moteur.
Pour l’application avec couple constant, le moteur peut opérer de 10% jusqu’à 100% de la fréquence
nominale dès que le couple de la charge soit au-dessous de la courbe de déclassement du couple du
moteur montré ci-dessous.
Pour l’opération au-dessus de la fréquence nominale, utiliser la courbe de déclassement et vérifier si le
couple maximum sera apte pour l’application dans la rotation maximum d’opération.
