I am confused and frustrated.  We have an industrial product that includes
a small water recirculation tank which includes a motor/pump assembly that
is powered by 230V/360V/460Vac 3-phase.  Our NRTL inspectors says this pump
assembly must have UL, CSA, or equivalent. Here is a website that shows the
type of assembly we are looking for:

https://www.graymills.com/fm-series.html

The trouble is, Graymills, Granger, Dayton, etc. doesn't provide NRTL
markings on the pumps that meet our functional requirements.  They all say
that most of their customers do not require these marks so they only offer
a few models that do.

How can this be? Am I missing something?  Some say that manufacturers can
get the pumps approved as part of a certification of the entire machine,
but how can the pump be evaluated by a system integrator who doesn't
manufacture the pump, nor has any constructional information?  Wouldn't it
HAVE to be done by the motor manufacturer?

I keep asking our NRTL Field Inspector if he would accept such a product
and the answer is no.  Our CSA inspector also says no; it must have CSA or
equivalent on the motor and/or motor/pump assembly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
The Other Brian
