Sulzer submersible sludge pump XJS 50

The submersible sludge pump XJS 50 is ideal for pumping sludge and water mixed with solids. Pumps with built in AquaTronic unit will always have correct direction of impeller rotation, ensuring peak performance and reduced wear. 50 Hz: head max 28 meters, flow max 25 l/s. 60 Hz: head max 31 meters (102 feet), flow max 26 l/s (413 gpm).

Starting method and motor protection

XJS 50 AT: Direct on line start (DOL 400-550 V) with built in AquaTronic unit, which automatically adjusts phase order by dual contactors, ensuring correct motor rotation. Soft start is built in with the AquaTronic unit at 230 V, where three thyristors reduces start current to three times the nominal current. Here two relays ensures correct motor rotation. Soft start is available as option at 400 V. The AquaTronic unit monitors motor temperature, by use of NTC thermistors built into stator windings, and stops the motor at high temperature. It will also stop the motor at high amperage or if a phase is missing.

XJS 50: Direct on line start with built in contactor. Pumps to be used with VFD or 1000 V must have terminal block instead of contactor. Thermal switches (140 °C, ±5) built into the stator windings are con-nected to the contactor and stops the pump at high temperature.
