Instr • r r r i After the first section of the riser pipe has been attached to the pump,the lifting cable or Table D elevator should be clamped to the pipe Do not clamp the pump When raising the pump Total Resistance of Drop Cable{OHMS) and riser section, be careful not to place bending stress on the pump by picking It up by the pump-end only The values shown In this table are for copper conductors Values are for the total resistance Make sure that the electrical cables are not cut or damaged in any way when the of drop cable from the control box to the motor and back pump Is being lowered in the well s t To determine the resistance i The drop cable should be secured to the riser pipe at frequent Intervals to prevent sagging, looping or possible cable damage t Disconnect the drop cable leads from the control box 1 If Plastic or Flexible Riser Pipe Is Used: 2 Record the size and length of drop cable l 3 Determine the cable resistance from the table Use the correct compound recommended by the pipe manufacturer or specific lob specifications Besides making sure that joints are securely fastened, the use of a torque i 4 Add drop cable resistance to motor resistance Motor resistances can be found in the arrester Is recommended when using these types of pipe Electrical Data Chart, Table C Do not connect the first plastic or flexible riser section directly to the pump 5 Measure the resistance between each drop cable lead using an ohmmeter Meter should Always attach a metallic nipple or adapter Into the discharge chamber of the be set on Rx1 and zero-balanced for this measurement pump When tightened, the threaded end of the nipple or adapter must not come In contact with the check naive retainer in the discharge chamber of the pump 6 The measured values should be approximately equal to the calculated values I The drop cable should be secured to the riser pipe at frequent intervals using an approved clip or tape to prevent sagging, looping and possible cable damage Wire Resistances IMPORTANT- Plastic and flexible pipe tend to stretch under load This stretching must be DISTANCE FROM 18 AWG WIRE 14 AWG WIRE taken into account when securing the cable to the riser pipe CONTROL BOX TO RESISTANCE RESISTANCE Leave enough slack between clips or taped points to allow for FIGURE 4 PUMP MOTOR(FT) (OHMS) (ONMs) this stretching This tendency for plastic and flexible pipe to stretch ?%Vi'11 141W 0'03;- ` L'911'0 05b �_ will also affect the calculation of the pump setting depth If the depth 20 006 0 10 setting )s critical, check with the manufacturer of the pipe to "`Y i X KaoWAR o W?*,,�4bo 18; determine flow to compensate for pipe stretch J 40 0 13 021 When these types of pipe are used it is recommended that a safety _60 0 19 031 cable be attached to the pump to lower and raise it The discharge piece of Reds FIo4 submersibles 1s designed to accommodate this ` 80 0 26 041 sa ,! r_,;O 2s� 0 4s a cable (Figure 4) 100_ 032 _ 051 Protect the Well from120 8 039 062 ,a l � 130 ry�tq s TO 42 � f131—M,871A Contamination _ a ' I- :��»M140 0 45 072 x I�'1: 150.,�' � �s.0 While Installing the pump, proper care should be used not to kf Fil' 160 052 082 introduce foreign objects or contaminants Into the well The well .. � � i761r JR o 55 V Wr 87 should be finished off above grade to protect against surface water , 180 058 093 from entering the well causing contamination = ,TOR W",' 'o s2;; o 9S Ta 200 065 1 03 i , NOTE Teflon® Is atered trademark of 6vPon1 .I Page 3 Page-12
