PRECAUTIONS

DO'S

  • Always rest the pumps on NRV.
  • Check the water quality before filling in the motor.
  • Always suspend the pumpset at least 3 mtrs. above the bottom of the bore.
  • The pumps must be installed 1 mtrs. below the water level surface.
  • Always check the cable joints and vertical play after coupling the pumpset.
  • Run the pumpset until pure water comes out.
  • Always use a good quality control panel.
  • Bending of cable must be avoided

DONT'S

  • Don't run the pump if any of the following defects are observed
    • Water is sandy or acidic
    • If there is no water.
    • If discharge valve is closed for more than 4 minutes.
    • If the problem of single phasing arises.
  • Don't pull the motor with the help of cable.
  • Minimum interval between the start and stop of the motor must be 1 minute.

INSTALLATION

TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART
Sr.No Problem Cause Suggested Remedy
1 Pumps does not starts.
  • Starting panel defective
  • Overload protection out
  • Starting panel defective
  • Low line voltage
  • Replace by new starter and check for continuity.
  • Set relay properly.
  • Replace with correct rating.
  • Use adequate size cable.
  • Wait till voltage recovers or contact electricity board.
2 Fuse blows when motor is running
  • Incorrect voltage or inadequate power supply.
  • Overheated overload protection box.
  • Defective control panel components
  • Damaged motor cable or winding.
  • Pump becomes sand locked
  • Stabilise the voltage to rated and wait for adequate power supply.
  • Overload relay to be replaced or adjusted to higher value.
  • Replace starter if trips repetitively.
  • Defective electrical components to be replaced.
  • Check continuity in cable and wiring. Replace the cable. Rewind the motor if required.
  • Remove dismantel and clean water passages inside the motor. Change the motor thrust pad if required.
3 Pumps operates but delivers little water.
  • Motor running lower than raled speed.
  • Strainer / impeller / stage casing may be clogged.
  • Defective rising main (leakage)
  • System resistance of the pumpset is higher than estimated.
  • Yield of the bore is not sufficient.
  • Damaged pump parts.
  • Check voltage / frequency. Replace cable with higher size if necessary.
  • Dismantels the pump and clean strainer and water passage of impeller and stage casing if necessary replace them.
  • Check the piping joints for leakage / choking.
  • Replace pipes with higher size.
  • Replace the pumpset with higher size.
  • Lower the unit further if possible or throttle the sluice valve adjusting to flow rated.
  • Replace correct components e.g. Impeller / Diffuser / Bushes / Sleeves / Neckring etc.
  • Check slit / sand content of water to avoid premature wear.
4 Pump does not deliver any water.
  • Water level in borewell may have gone below level of pump.
  • Total head of the system is higher than designed head of pumpset.
  • NRV sand blocked / Wrongly connected NRV on delivery pipe.
  • Motor does not start.
  • Motor starts but doesn't pickup the rated speed.
  • If possible lower the unit further
  • Stop the unit until water level rises sufficiently.
  • Operate the pumpset with throttle valve.
  • Replace with suitable pumpset for higher head.
  • Ensure that flow is not obstructed due to foreign bodies in valve or inferior quality of valve.
  • Check the flow direction arrow on the NRV body connect correctly.
  • Check for sand blockage clean and replace.
  • Chek cable connection.
  • Check for correctness of incoming power supply.
  • Check for backup protection.
  • Check voltage / frequency. Replace cable with higher size if necessary.
5 Fuse blow off or circuit breaker trips when motor is started
  • Defective control panel
  • Defective wiring.
  • Incorrect fuse component.
  • Defective relay.
  • Damaged motor winding or cable.
  • Pump is sand locked.
  • Pumpset might have blocked in crossed well.
  • Pump and motor not coupled properly
  • Repair / replace as per instruction.
  • Replace and reset the starter only for checking the current drawn. Make sure that abnormal current is not drawn.
  • Rewind motor / replace cable.
  • Remove, dismantel and clean water passages inside the pump and ressemble.
  • Move the unit and put straight and then strat otherwise shaft would have bend.
  • Check and realign coupling and see freeness
