Pipeline Centrifugal Pumps & CDL Multistage PumpsHigh-Rise Water Boosting with a CDL(F) Multistage Pump: Worked Example
Working out the head for a high-rise booster pump and choosing a CDL(F) build: a 25-floor example at 16 m³/h, step by step.

Model: ISG, IRG, IHG, ISW and CDL(F) pumps for 60 Hz
Pipeline and multistage pumps for 60 Hz and 380, 440 or 460 V supplies. Why a 50 Hz pump overloads on 60 Hz and what to send us.

A motor runs about 20% faster on 60 Hz than on 50 Hz. A pump designed for 50 Hz then gives about 20% more flow and 44% more head, and needs about 73% more power, which its motor cannot provide.
For a 60 Hz supply we select the hydraulics for the 60 Hz duty and fit a motor wound for it, at your voltage: for example 380 V or 460 V, or 440 V on ships.
