Meltric Connectors for Pumps (NFPA70E)

meltric PUMP CONNECTORS

For Safety convenience, use Meltric

deContactors to connect your Armstrong

pumps to your power source. As disconnect switches they can be used up to 200 amps. The switches have Poly or metal housings.

Meltric has handles or angle brackets for connecting to a junction box. AND, if you are worried about NFPA70, stop worring:

NFPA 70E Workplace Electrical Safety Standards apply to MCC’s and switchgear and also to plugs & receptacles used to connect welders, pumps, and other portable equipment. Because many of the plugs and receptacles currently in service have accessible live parts and can be hazardous if connected or disconnected under load, users must either update their equipment or follow cumbersome safety procedures in order to comply with NFPA 70E. AND in the National Electric code, Sections 430.102 – 430.109 of the National Electric Code require approved disconnecting means to be located in a readily accessible location within sight of the motor and driven equipment. With their UL & CSA ratings for “Motor Circuit Disconnect Switching” and “Branch Circuit Disconnect Switching”, Decontactor devices are an approved ‘line of sight’ disconnect switch for meeting this requirement. MELTRIC fills the bill for compliance!!

Decontactor plugs and receptacles are ideal for pump connections up to 60 hp or 200 amps. Using Decontactors to connect power to pumps instead of hard-wiring can reduce downtime related to pump servicing by 50% or more. A qualified technician can safely disconnect power to the pump simply by removing the Decontactor plug which can then be easily locked out to ensure safety. The technician can then service the pump in complete safety. When service work is complete the technician can reconnect power simply by plugging the Decontactor plug back into the receptacle.

• No waiting for an electrician to perform field wiring
• No “suiting-up” or extraordinary electrical precautions

Decontactor plugs and receptacles are designed and rated to make and break motor loads in complete safety while providing users with significant protection in the event of overloads or short circuits. Special protective equipment and training are not required to make and break connections.

• Overload testing includes 50 opening and closing operations performed at 600% of full load motor ampacity with a power factor of 0.5 or less.


• All hp-rated Decontactor devices are rated to close into and withstand short circuit currents up to 100kA in circuits protected with RK1 fusing.

Note: Although Decontactor plugs and receptacles are rated to safely make and break motor loads, they are not rated or intended for continuous use as a motor starter.

Sections 430.102 – 430.109 of the National Electric Code require approved disconnecting means to be located in a readily accessible location within sight of the motor and driven equipment. With their UL & CSA ratings for “Motor Circuit Disconnect Switching” and “Branch Circuit Disconnect Switching”, Decontactor devices are an approved ‘line of sight’ disconnect switch for meeting this requirement.

Decontactor plugs and receptacles are available with numerous handles, mounting angles, wall boxes, and other accessories. They may be used as in-line connectors or may be mounted on walls, panels, equipment, or even directly on the motor. This flexibility makes it simple to locate disconnects where they are easily visible and convenient to use.

Armstrong Pumps at Flow Factor

Series 4300 Split Coupled Vertical In-Line

Armstrong's vertical in-line pump represents a design innovation that has repeatedly proven its value over the past 30 years. Armstrong took a leadership role in improving the efficiency and utility of commercial pumps by designing and marketing the vertical in-line pump in the early 1970s. Armstrong takes a leading role in educating engineers around the world on the value of vertical in-line pump installations, and offers one of the widest range of vertical in-line pump sizes in the industry. The Armstrong 4300 split coupled vertical in-line pump includes both a silicon carbide seal and an outside balanced seal as standard items. Armstrong vertical in-line pumps combine excellent operating efficiency, with very low vibration and noise. As well, Armstrong offers a very valuable design/assist program whereby an internal designer will work with contractors and engineers to ‘lay out' and mechanical room using vertical technology. In past instances, substituting vertical pumps for horizontal, in addition to reorganizing and repositioning mechanical room components has led to tremendous cost savings in piping and system efficiency.

IVS and IVS Sensorless Variable Speed Pumps

The Armstrong IVS Sensorless pump is designed to meet the need for energy-efficient pumping systems in today's buildings. Traditional smaller pumping systems, up to and including 10 hp, incorporating fixed-speed pumps waste energy through crude throttling valve flow control. Lifetime Cost Analysis shows that the capital cost of a fixed-speed pump is typically only 5% of its lifetime cost. The IVS Sensorless pump is a new generation variable-speed pump, completely integrated into a compact package. Pressure transducers/sensors are no longer required, which reduces the installed cost of the unit and makes it practical to use these IVS variable-speed pumps in a retrofit installation. Applications for this technology include variable volume heating and chilled water applications. The design of the Armstrong IVS Sensorless pump goes beyond ASHRAE 90.1 standards, providing the benefits of variable speed technology for motor sizes below 10 hp. Variable speed technology allows the speed of the pump to be tuned to suit system demand. Technological advancements make variable speed pumps attractive in terms of both capital and lifetime cost. Pressure transducers/sensors are no longer required, further reducing capital and installation cost. The IVS Sensorless pump is a new generation pump, completely integrated into a compact package. Applications for this technology include variable volume heating and chilled water applications. Goes beyond ASHRAE 90.1 standards by adding value through varying pump speed with 10 hp and lower motor sizes.
