Why FLYGT 3126.290 runs but the motor protection trips?
- J
  jeffreyfloresAug 7, 2025
  If your FLYGT Water Pump motor protection trips, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure the motor protection is correctly set according to the data plate and cable chart, if applicable. Check if the impeller is difficult to rotate by hand; if so, clean the impeller and the sump, and verify the impeller is properly trimmed. Also, check the fuses and replace any that have tripped. If the fuses are intact, then notify a certified electrician. If there is a malfunction in the overload protection, replace the overload protection. Make sure that the maximum density is 1100 kg/m3 (9.2 lb/US gal).

  If your FLYGT Water Pump isn't delivering enough water, check the following: * If it's a 3-phase pump, transpose two phase leads. * Reset valves set in the wrong positions, replace if necessary, and ensure correct installation according to media flow; confirm all valves open correctly. * Clean the impeller and sump, and ensure the impeller is properly trimmed. * Clean out any obstructions in the pipes to ensure free flow. * Locate and seal any leaks in the pipes and joints. * Replace any worn parts on the impeller, pump, and casing.

What to do if FLYGT Water Pump starts and stops in rapid sequence?
- J
  Justin MahoneyAug 18, 2025
  If your FLYGT Water Pump is starting and stopping rapidly, check that the distance between the start and stop levels is sufficient and that the non-return valve(s) work(s) properly. Also, ensure the length of the discharge pipe between the pump and the first non-return valve is sufficiently short. If the self-holding function of the contactor malfunctions, check the contactor connections, the voltage in the control circuit in relation to the rated voltages on the coil, the functioning of the stop-level regulator and whether the voltage drop in the line at the starting surge causes the contactor's self-holding malfunction.

What to do if FLYGT Water Pump does not stop when a level sensor is used?

  If your FLYGT Water Pump continues to run even when a level sensor is used, check that there are no leaks from the piping or discharge connection. Ensure the impeller is not clogged and that the non-return valve(s) are functioning properly. Verify the pump has adequate capacity. Also, clean the level regulators, check their functioning, and inspect the contactor and control circuit; replace any defective items. If the stop level is set too low, raise it.

  Mark PetersNov 1, 2025
  If your FLYGT Water Pump isn't starting, here's what to check: * Ensure the main power switch is on. * Verify there's control voltage reaching the starting equipment. * Inspect the fuses to see if they are intact and securely fastened. * Confirm voltage is present in all phases of the supply line. * Check that the overload protection hasn't tripped. * Inspect the motor cable for any signs of damage. Also, if the pump doesn't start automatically but can be started manually, inspect the start level regulator, ensuring it functions correctly; clean or replace it if needed. Check all connections are intact, and verify the relay and contactor coils are intact. Also, check the control switch (Man/Auto) makes contact in both positions and examine the control circuit and its function...
