Cause
7.5 The electric pump starts, but
the thermal protector trips a varying
time after
Cause
There are foreign ob-
jects (solids or fibrous
substances) inside the
pump which have jam-
med the impeller.
The pumps delivery
rate is higher than the
limits specified on the
data plate.
The pump is overload-
ed because it is pump-
ing liquid that is too
dense and viscous.
The motor bearings
are worn.
