Submersible Sewage Pump Type ABS XFP PE1-PE3 Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instructions
If your Sulzer XFP 80C-CB1 pump is not pumping water, you should check the following:
If the pump does not run:
Moisture sensor shutdown: Check for a loose or damaged oil plug, or locate and replace a faulty mechanical seal or damaged O-rings. Change the oil.
Air lock in volute: Shake or raise and lower the pump repeatedly until air bubbles no longer appear at the surface level.
Level control override: Check for a float switch that is faulty or tangled and held in the OFF position in the sump.
Impeller jammed: Inspect and remove any jammed object. Check the gap between the impeller and bottom plate and adjust if necessary.
Gate valve closed or non-return valve blocked: Open the gate valve or clean any blockage from the non-return valve.
Temperature sensor shutdown: The motor will restart automatically when the pump cools down. Check thermal relay settings in the control panel and inspect for impeller blockage. If these do not resolve the issue, a service inspection is required.
If there is low head or flow:
Wrong direction of rotation: Change the rotation by interchanging two phases of the power supply cable.
Gap too wide between impeller and bottom plate: Reduce the gap.
Gate valve partially open: Open the valve fully.
To properly install the Sulzer XFP 80C-CB1 pump:
The pump can be installed for wet well vertical operation on a fixed pedestal or movable stand, or for horizontal or vertical dry installation.
Ensure the hydraulic section is filled with water (dry installation) or the pump is submerged (wet installation) during switching on and operation. Other types of operation, such as snore operation or dry running, are not permitted.
Observe DIN 1986 regulations and local regulations relevant to pump installation.
To prevent air locks in the volute that can cause pumping problems after lowering the pump into a sump, shake the pump or raise and lower it in the medium to clear the air. Repeat if necessary.
For dry-installed XFP pumps, it is strongly recommended that they are vented back into the sump by means of the drilled and tapped hole provided in the volute.
The service intervals for the Sulzer XFP 80C-CB1 water pump vary depending on its installation and application. For specific recommended service interval details, you should contact your local Sulzer Service Centre.
However, the following checks are generally recommended:
Inspect the oil in the inspection chamber every 12 months. Change the oil immediately if it is contaminated with water or if the seal failure monitoring indicates an alarm.
Inspect the motor chamber every 12 months to ensure it is free from moisture.
The Sulzer XFP 80C-CB1 water pump is designed to handle various types of liquids, including:
Clean water and wastewater
Sewage containing solids and fibrous material
Sewage with sludge and high content of rags
Industrial raw water and wastewater
Various types of industrial effluents
Municipal combined sewage and storm water systems
Seawater applications with cathodic protection and IM5 coating (consult Sulzer for advice). It is not suitable for pumping flammable, combustible, chemical, corrosive, or explosive liquids.
The electrical connection requirements for the Sulzer XFP 80C-CB1 water pump are as follows:
Ensure all necessary electrical protective devices, such as earthing, neutral, and earth leakage circuit breakers, are available and comply with local regulations. A qualified person must verify their proper function.
The power supply system must adhere to local regulations regarding cross-sectional area and maximum voltage drop. The pump's nameplate voltage must match the mains supply.
The power supply cable must be protected by an adequately dimensioned slow-blow fuse corresponding to the pump's rated power.
The incoming power supply and pump connection to the control panel must comply with the control panel's circuit diagram and motor connection diagrams, and be performed by a qualified person.
All installations must include a residual current device (RCD, ELCB, RCBO, etc.) with a rated residual operating current in accordance with local regulations.
Three-phase pumps require motor starting and overload protective devices that comply with IEC standard 60947-4-1, rated for the motor they control, and set to 125% of the marked rated current.
For single-phase pumps, a motor starting and/or running capacitor (IEC 60252-1, class S2 or S3) and a motor contactor (IEC Standard 60947-4-1) are required.
The Sulzer XFP 80C-CB1 pump is a submersible sewage and wastewater pump featuring a Premium Efficiency motor. Its design incorporates a water-pressure-tight, encapsulated, flood-proof motor and pump section, forming a compact, robust, modular construction.
To troubleshoot common noise issues with the Sulzer XFP 80C-CB1 pump, consider the following:
Defective bearing: Replace the bearing.
Clogged impeller: Remove and clean the hydraulics.
Wrong direction of rotation: Change the rotation by interchanging two phases of the power supply cable.
The maximum allowable temperature for the medium pumped by the Sulzer XFP 80C-CB1 water pump is 40 °C.
The 50Hz frequency rating of the Sulzer XFP 80C-CB1 water pump impacts its operational performance, specifically its head and flow characteristics, as shown in the distinct performance curves for 50 Hz compared to 60 Hz. For explosion-proof (Ex) machines, the pump must not be operated using a mains frequency greater than the 50 Hz or 60 Hz indicated on its nameplate. When operated with frequency inverters, the quality of the inverter's output signal (e.g., higher voltage spikes) can affect the motor's lifespan, necessitating the use of sinus filters in critical areas.
Yes, all pumps in the Sulzer XFP series, including the 80C-CB1, are designed for continuous operation S1, whether they are submerged or dry-installed.
