2) Pump fails to run, or runs but fails to reach full speed.
Voltage drop in power line
Check whether or not the power voltage is normal
Single-phase run
Power switch, operation switch or pump cable
with either one wire opened or disconnected.
Inspect and repair or replace.
Stuck impeller
Repair
Motor trouble
Causes: Insulation fault, interlayer and interphase
short-circuit, single-phase disconnection
Inspect and repair.
3) Pump runs at full speed, but produces abnormal noise mechanically.
Broken impeller
Replace
Worn or damage bearing
Replace
Low level running
Not harmful, but less pumping rate and low
efficiency, caused by low suction level. Raise
suction level or stop the pump
4) Small pumping rate (capacity)
Reverse rotation of pump
Interchange two wires of the cable
for correct rotational direction
Impeller clogged with foreign matter
Remove foreign matter
Clogged pipe
Repair
Small size pipe
Replace
Water leakage from pipeline and channel
Inspect and repair
5) Motor overheated
Overload
Large mixture percentage of solids
to pumping water or use of liquids
with high viscosity or high specific
gravity.
Motor exposed to atmosphere
Consider of the pump location and
adjust or relocate.
Motor abnormal
Inspect insulation fault, interlayer
short-circuit and interphase short-
circuit.
In this event, the over current relay
of the operation switch might work.
If failed to work, check whether the
relay is properly set. In many cases,
motor abnormal is primarily caused
by its insulation down by leaked
water in section 7.
