○ Power is failed. 
 
○ Large fluctuation of power voltage. 
 
○ Large drop in voltage. 
 
○ Phase is lost. 
 
○  Insufficient  connection  of  power  source 

circuit. 

○ Wrong wiring of control circuit. 
○ Fuse is blown. 
○ Defective magnet switch. 
○  Mal-functioning  or  defects of  float  switch, 

etc. 

○ Actuation of ground fault breaker. 
○ Pump catches foreign matter. 
○ Motor is burnt out. 
○ Break of motor bearing. 
○ Mechanical seal stuck. 

○ Remove the obstacle. 
○ Request  the  electric  power  company  for 

action. 

○ Request  the  electric  power  company  for 

action. 

○ Request  the  electric  power  company  for 

action. 

○ Inspect  the  connection  section  and  the 

magnet switch. 

○ Inspect the power source circuit. 
 
○ Wire in correct state. 
○ Replace with adequate fuse.

○ Remove the foreign matter. 
○ Repair or replace the motor. 
○ Repair or replace the bearing. 
○ Repair or replace the mechanical seal. 

The  pump  can  be  operated, 

but it stops after a while. 

○ Prolonged  dry  operation  induced  the 

functioning of Auto-cut. 

○ High  liquid  temperature  induced  the 

functioning of Auto-cut. 

○ Raise the water level. 
 
○ Lower the water level. 

Thermal protector is actuated. 

 

○ High liquid temperature. 
○ Long dry operation. 
○ Eddy current. 

○ Lower the liquid temperature. 
○ Raise the stopping water level. 
○ Refer to the section of eddy current. 

Does not pump. 

Insufficient pumping rate. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

○ Reverse rotation. 

 

○ Broken gate valve. 
○ Large voltage drop. 
 
○ Operating the 60Hz pump at 50Hz. 
○ High discharge head. 
○ Large piping loss. 
○  Low  operating  water  level  causes  air 

suction. 

○ Liquid leaking from discharge pipe. 
○ Clogging of discharge pipe. 
○  Adhesion  of  foreign  matter  in  suction 

opening. 

○ Foreign matter clogs the pump. 
 
○ Worn impeller. 

○ Establish  correct  rotational  direction,  (refer 

to 

-2-2). 

○ Repair or replace the gate valve. 
○ Request  the  electric  power  company  for 

action. 

○ Check the nameplate. 
○ Review the plan. 
○ Review the plan. 
○ Raise  the  water  level  or  lower  the  pump 

position. 

○ Inspect and repair the discharge pipe. 
○ Remove the foreign matter. 
○ Remove the foreign matter. 
 
○ Disassemble  the  pump  to  remove  the
