Pump Overloads Motor
Possible Causes
Solutions
1.- The pumped liquid has a viscosity or density
different from that for which the pump was
selected.
· Check and consult the
manufacturer.
2.- There are mechanical defects (moving parts
rubbing against fixed parts).
· Check and consider a pump repair.

Abnormal Vibrations of Pumping Equipment
1.- The pump is not primed.
Possible Causes
Solutions
2.- Air enters the suction pipe.
· Check and complete the filling of the system with
liquid.
· Check and repair damaged ducts and
defective joints.
3.- The suction lift is too high (insufficient NPSH).
· Check that NPSHavailable > NPSHrequired
· Check suction geometric head.
· Check for head losses in the suction line
(partially closed valve, foreign bodies, back
pressure too low).
4.- The impeller is partially clogged causing
unbalance.
·
Check for and clear blockages.
·
Check that no damage has occurred to the bearings.
5.-
There are mechanical problems, such as bent

1.-
Leaks in the suction line.
·
Check and repair damaged ducts and
defective joints.
2.-
The suction height is too high.
·
Check suction height and consult the
manufacturer.
3.-
The foot valve or pipe is not sufficiently
submerged.
·
Check and submerge as necessary.
3. Discharge height other than specified.
· Re-calculate manometric height of the
new system.
