The Underload protection function protects the motor casing in the presence of
fluid flowing over the motor cases. When an ESP is pumping the fluid (oil), gas
might be ingested by the ESP. This results in a reduction or removal of a fluid
flowing over the motor casing which results in overheating of the motor. The
presence of gas can be inferred by the detection of an underload condition.
