pump stops. The pump automatically restarts five minutes Over- and undervoltage protection
after the water level is above the water level electrode.
Over- and undervoltage may occur in case of unstable

The pump stops if the voltage falls outside the permissible
voltage range. The motor automatically restarts when the
0.3 to 0.6 m (12 to 24 in) voltage returns within the permissible voltage range. No
extra protection relay is needed.
Note: The MSF 3 motor is protected against transients
from the power supply according to EN/IEC 61000-4-5 (6
kV). In areas with high lightning intensity, we use external
lightning protection.
Overload protection
In case the upper load limit is exceeded, the motor
automatically compensates by reducing the speed. If the
speed falls below the minimum speed, the motor stops
automatically.

Maximum Power Point Tracking

The built-in electronic unit gives the SQFlex system a
number of advantages compared to conventional 1
products. One of these advantages is the built-in
microprocessor with Maximum Power Point Tracking
(MPPT).
Due to the MPPT function, the pump duty point is
continuously optimized according to the available input
power. MPPT is only available for pumps connected to DC
supply.

Applications
During periods of limited solar energy, the SQFlex Solar 13
system provides reliable water supply.
The system is connected to an external backup generator
via the IO 101. 10
The system switches automatically to operation via 7 6
generator when the generator is started.
If the generator is stopped manually or runs out of fuel,
the IO 101 automatically changes back to operation via 5
solar energy.
Benefits
The system ensures water supply during the night or
during periods of insufficient solar energy. 2

The SQFlex Wind system is based on wind energy as

single energy source for pump operation.
The system is suitable for installation in areas where wind
is almost constantly present.
As the turbine noise level increases with the wind speed,
we do not recommend that you install wind turbine near
residential areas.

Voltage effect on pump efficiency
The pump efficiency can vary depending on the input
voltage. This chart shows the dropoff in efficiency as the
voltage gets lower. For example, if you have two systems Solar panel wiring in series

running at 120V and System B is running at 35V, System Pos. Description

70 + 70 + 70 + 70 = 280 V
Panel amperage remains the same, so if each panel
produces 1.43 A, then the total current is 1.43 A.
Panel wattage always adds, so if each panel is rated at
100 W, the total wattage (Watts = Volts x Amps) output is
the following:
100 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 400 W

the following: rating of 70V, 1.43A and 100W. Remember that in series,
100 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 400 W voltage adds, while amperage remains the same. Pair #1
provides 70 + 70 = 140 V and 1.43 A. Pair #2 provides the
same.
Now add the two pairs in parallel. Remember in parallel,
voltage remains the same and amperage adds. Each pair
produces 140 V, so total voltage = 140 V. Each pair
produces 1.43 A, so total amperage
is 1.43 + 1.43 = 2.86 A. Watts always add, so
100 W x 4 = 400 W.
Sizing of cable
Use the following formula:
ΔP x q x Vmp2
L = [m]
Wp x 100 x 2 x ρ
L = length of cable [m]

ΔP = power loss [%]
q = cross-section of submersible drop cable [mm2]
Vmp = maximum power voltage [V]
Wp = Watt peak [Wp]
ρ = specific resistance: 0.0173 [Ω mm2/m]
See Grundfos Product Center. The sizing tool makes it
possible to calculate the exact losses.

EuP ready
The SQFlex centrifugal pumps (SP A) are energy-

optimised and comply with EuP Directive
(Commission Regulation (EC) No 547/2012) which
took effect on 1 January 2013. As of this date, all
pumps are classified in a new energy efficiency
index (MEI).
MEI index
Minimum Efficiency Index (MEI) means the dimensionless
scale unit for hydraulic pump efficiency at best efficiency
point (BEP), part load (PL) and overload (OL). Regulation
in EU sets efficiency requirements to MEI > 0.1 as of 1
January 2013, and MEI > 0.4 as of 1 January 2015. An
indicative benchmark for the best-performing water pumps
available on the market in 2012 is MEI ≥ 0.70.
Efficiency and MEI index for SQFlex

centrifugal (SP A) pumps
Pump type Pump size Efficiency [%] MEI
SQF3A-10 4" 58 ≥ 0.70
SQF5A-3 4" 60 ≥ 0.56
SQF5A-7 4" 60 ≥ 0.56
SQF7-4 4" 69 ≥ 0.70
SQF9-3 4" 71 ≥ 0.70
SQF14-3 4" 70 ≥ 0.44
