Abstract

L'invention concerne un groupe motopompe comprenant un moteur d'entraînement électrique (4, 6), au moins une roue mobile entraînée par le moteur d'entraînement (4, 6) et au moins un dispositif soupape (18) placé dans un trajet d'écoulement à travers le groupe motopompe, lequel dispositif soupape peut être déplacé au moins entre une première et une deuxième position de commutation, le dispositif soupape (18) étant accouplé au moteur d'entraînement par le biais d'un premier accouplement de telle sorte qu'un déplacement du moteur d'entraînement (4, 6) soit transmis au dispositif soupape (18) et que le dispositif soupape puisse être déplacé de la première à la deuxième position de commutation par un déplacement rotatif du moteur d'entraînement (4, 6), et de telle sorte que le premier accouplement puisse être libéré par augmentation du régime du moteur d'entraînement (4, 6) et/ou par augmentation de la pression du côté de la sortie de la roue mobile et/ou par glissement, de telle sorte que l'accouplement entre le moteur d'entraînement (4, 6) et le dispositif soupape (18) soit réduit ou supprimé.
