Oper
ation at flows less than those indicated by the solid
line on the applicable performance curve will cause
overheating of the unit and is to be avoided.

Maximum pressure and vacuum are indicated on the
nameplate (see Fig. 4). These represent conditions at
which the minimum allowable airflow (CFM) occurs.
Check the operating pressure or vacuum to assure that
the pressure or vacuum remains less than maximum.
For continuous operation at low air volume (on the
dotted portion of the performance curve), provide a
bypass in the piping and operate at a lower pressure
than maximum operating pressure. See Performance
Curves, Section V.

A NEMA Class F insulation system is used in the motor.
Maximum allowable winding temperature is 265˚F. If a
thermal protector or thermal relay activates because the
temperature rise of the motor is higher than usual, inves-
tigate and correct the problem. Explosion-proof motors
use a NEMA Class B insulation. Typical causes of motor
overheating are given in Section VI, Troubleshooting
Guide.

1. T
he gap between the impeller and case is essential for
proper performance of the unit. The shims between
the shaft collar and impeller hub establish the spacing
of this gap. In reassembly, before installing the
impeller cover, check the gap between the impeller
and case to assure that the measurement conforms to
the gap specification on the assembly drawing (on the
following pages) for your unit.
