- the voltage in the control circuit in relation
to the rated voltage on the coil.
- the functioning of stop sensor. The voltage
drop in the line at the starting surge makes
the contactor’s self-holding break.
Is the start relay correctly set?

5. Pump runs but delivers too little or no water.
Check:
- direction of rotation pump.
- that valves are open and intact.
- that pipes, impeller and strainer are not clogged.
- that the impeller rotates easily.
- that the suction lift has not been altered.
- for leakage in the pump installation.
- for wear on wear ring, impeller, pump casing/flange, suction bottom, diffuser, disc, diffuser.
