Why does Pump Motor Burn?

Pumping systems account for nearly 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand. Furthermore, they account for 25-50% of the energy usage in certain industrial plant operations. The use of pumping systems is widespread. They provide domestic, commercial and agricultural services. In addition, pumping systems provide municipal water and wastewater services, and industrial services for food processing, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, mechanical and other industries.

Problems Faced with Pump Motor

When a pumping motor has been installed properly, it can run for several years with minimal maintenance. One of the most commonly faced problems is failure of pump motor. There is a common misconception that motor fails due to voltage. But, it needs to be understood that motor does not fail because of voltage, in fact it burns because of current.

•          Over Load – Voltage fluctuations, mechanical and electrical malfunctioning, phase failure (single phasing). 
•          Under Load - Dry run, reverse rotation, mechanical failure, phase failure (single phasing)

To safeguard pump motor, we can monitor and control the current variation for its higher and lower allowable value.

Why it is critical to use control panel along with the pump?

A reliable & proper control panel is very critical for proper running of any pump set. A pumping motor does not understand -

• When it is under load.
• When it is running in reverse direction.
• When it is getting over heated.
• When it is running dry
• When it is getting overloaded

By adding a control panel to the system -

·         You can ensure consistent & stable electric supply that is not within our control under normal setup.

·         Pump by itself is not an intelligent device & panel, in turn, acts as an intelligent device of the pump.

Darling Control Panel is designed with advanced technology based system. It is safe and complete failure proof solution for long life, trouble free and continuous pump operation. Darling Control Panel positively monitors and controls current variations and safe guard’s pump set during those critical moments.

Different Types of Control Panel –

• Direct Online (D.O.L)
• Star delta (Y-Type)
•  Auto transformer (A.T.S)
