Pump Control

The document discusses pump control panels. Pump control panels can control single or multiple pumps based on level, pressure, or flow sensors. They start and stop pumps according to sensor readings. Pumps can be fixed or variable speed. Fixed speed pumps are controlled by motor starters or soft starters. Variable speed pumps use variable frequency drives. Pump control panels allow operators to turn power on/off, control the process, and monitor pump status and alarms. They include a main power disconnect, pump controls, and monitors for running status, alarms, levels, pressures, and speeds.

Pump Control

Introduction

• Motor Overloads – Pump Protection for when the pump motor current is above its Full Load Amp rating.
• Temperature Sensors – Pump Protection when the pump or motor are above their Temperature rating.
• Level Sensors – Pump control and protection to ensure the pump doesn’t run dry
• Flow Sensors – Used to verify the pump is moving fluid
• Pressure Sensors – Used for pump control and to adjust speed

A Pump Control Panel may be designed to control one pump or multiple pumps (Duty / Standby, Lead / Lag, etc.) as needed and generally
operate as follows.

Start and Stop pumps based on the following


• Level Sensors, or
• Pressure Sensors, or
• Flow Sensors
• Control pumps using the following
• Fixed Speed (Small) – Use an Across the Line Motor Starter
• Fixed Speed (Large) – Use a Solid-State Soft Starter (Prevent Water Hammer)
• Variable Speed – Use a Variable Frequency Drive (Pressure or Flow control)

A Pump Control Panel has to give an Operator the ability to turn the power on and off, control the process, and monitor the process and status
of all alarms as needed.
