Why does my Xylem Water Pump motor protection trip?
- RRyan James DDSAug 9, 2025
If the motor protection trips on your Xylem Water Pump, it could be due to several reasons. The motor protection might be set too low; adjust it according to the data plate. The impeller might be difficult to rotate; clean the impeller and the sump, and check that the impeller is properly trimmed. The drive unit might not be receiving full voltage on all three phases; check the fuses and replace any that have tripped. If the fuses are intact, notify a certified electrician. There also might be a malfunction in the overload protection, in which case you should replace the overload protection. The density of the pumped fluid may be too high; ensure that the maximum density is 1100 kg/m3 (9.2 lb/US gal).
