SD/SV Series Submersible Pumps
Troubleshooting
Trouble
Pump does not
(1) Power failure
start. Starts, but
(2) Large discrepancy between power source and
immediately stops.
(3) Significant drop in voltage
(4) Motor phase malfunction
(5) Electric circuit connection faulty
(6) Faulty connection of control circuit
(7) Fuse blown
(8) Faulty magnetic switch
(9) Water is not at level indicated by Float
(10) Float is not in appropriate level
(11) Float effective
(12) Short circuit breaker is functioning
(13) Foreign matter clogging pump
(14) Motor burned out
(15) Motor bearing broken
Operates, but
(1) Prolonged dry operation has activated motor
stops after a while.
(2) High liquid temperature has activated motor
(3) Reverse rotation
Does not pump.
(1) Reverse rotation
(2) Significant drop in voltage
Inadequate
volume.
(3) Operating a 60Hz pump on 50Hz
(4) Discharge head is high
(5) Large piping loss
(6) Low operating water level causes air suction
(7) Leaking from discharge piping
(8) Clogging of discharge piping
(9) Foreign matter in suction inlet
(10) Foreign matter clogging pump
(11) Worn impeller
Over current
(1) Unbalanced current and voltage
(2) Significant voltage drop
(3) Motor phase malfunction
(4) Operating 50Hz pump on 60Hz
(5) Reverse rotation
(6) Low head. Excessive volume of water
(7) Foreign matter clogging pump
(8) Motor bearing is worn or damaged
Pump vibrates;
(1) Reverse rotation
excessive
(2) Pump clogged with foreign matter
operating noise.
(3) Piping resonates
(4) Gate valve is closed too far
Cause
