85% of full volt age to pull  

in without chatter. If the 

problem is a re 

cur 

ring 

one, measure voltage with 

recorder on a 24 hour basis.

d. Make sure the floats are 

locat 

ed away from any 

turbu lence.

e. Dry out the junction box  

(if furnished); moisture 

in the junction box may 

cause relays to energize  

intermittent ly.

6.  Short cycling pump.

a.  Check float controls.

7.  Run light stays on.

a. Selector switch may be in 

the Hand position.

8.  Nuisance tripping of  

over load on motor starters 

or  cir cuit  break ers.

a.  Check pump and draw with 

amp probe and compare to 

nameplate amps on pump.

b. The impeller may be locked 

up due to excessive debris 

or solids.

c.  Possible motor failure (fault 

in windings).

d. Pump may be miswired to    

ter mi nal  block.

e. 

Voltage and current 

 

unbalance. Three phase only.

     Voltage 

un bal ance 

on 

three phase power sources 

can cause motor current 

to  become  un bal anced 

and exces sive heating will  

re 

sult. Trip 

ping of the 

 

over 

load protectors and 

 

premature motor failures 

 

can be expected if the 

 

current unbalance exceeds  

five percent.

              _______________ 

 

 

    Average Current

To determine if motor current  

un bal ance is a function of the 

motor or the power supply:

 

1. Label the leads and 

 

the ter mi nals 1, 2, and  

3 respectively.

 

2. Record the amperage 

for each lead.

 

3.  Move each lead to the 

next terminal (1 to 2, 2 

to 3, 3 to 1).

 

4.  Again read the amperage 

of  each lead.

 

5.  Move each lead to the 

next terminal (1 to 3, 2 

to 1, 3 to 2).

 

6.  Again read the amperage 

of each lead.

 

7.  If  the  unbalance  moves       

with the motor leads, 

the un bal ance is caused 

by the mo tor. If the 

unbalance remains 

with the terminals,  the 

unbal 

ance is in the 

 

pow er  supply.

 

8.  If the current unbalance 

exceeds five percent, 

nui 

sance tripping or 

 

ex ces sive  heating  will  

result.

 

9.  Connect leads for the  

lowest percent of 

current  un bal ance.

f. 

 

Connections and start 

components. Single phase 

only.

 1. 

Disconnect all power 

from the panel before 

making these checks.

 2. 

Motor winding resistance 

read ings.

  a. Disconnect all three 

motor leads from panel 

terminal blocks.

    b. Using a volt-ohmmeter, 

with the scale set 

 

 

on RX1, measure the 

 

resistance be 

tween the 

leads with the chart below.

   3. Capacitor check.

        a.  Make  sure  the  ca pac i tor  

 

 

 

 is dis 

charged. Use 

 

    extreme caution as a 

       spark might occur.

        b.  Disconnect  the  ca pac i tor 

    leads and connect an 

 

       analog-type volt-ohmmeter 

       to the capacitor terminals.

     c. Set the meter on the 

     RX1,000 scale to check 

       the start ca pac i tor. Set the 

     meter on the RX10,000 

 

   scale to check the 

 

        run  ca pac i tor.

       d. The meter should in di cate  

     low ohms when it is first 

    connected, but as the 

 

        ca pac i tor  becomes  charged 

     (by the meter), it will  

     return to a read 

ing of 

 

       infinity (open circuit).

   4. Start relay check.

       a. Check the start relay coil  

     re sis tance. It should be  

       3,000 to 15,000 ohms.

     b. Install a clamp on amp 

     meter around the start 

        wind ing  lead.
