Pressure Pump Breakdown Repairs & Electrical Fault Finding

Rapid motor short-cycling, run-dry fault lockouts, and burnt-out start capacitors prevent washdown, transfer, and utility pumps from building water pressure. Lectro Power Systems delivers prompt on-site starter overhauls, pressure switch calibrations, and pump protection repairs across Western Australia.
Symptoms We Resolve

Common Pressure Pump Faults We Diagnose & Fix

  • Rapid Pressure Hunting & Motor Cycling

    Replacing waterlogged expansion vessel bladders, faulty mechanical switches, and leaking check valves.
  • Electronic Pressure Controller Lockouts

    Troubleshooting solid-state flow-switch controller boards, dry-run cut-outs, and burnt circuit tracks.
  • Single-Phase Motor Capacitor Failures

    Testing and replacing blown start and run capacitors causing motors to hum and trip out.
  • Thermal Overload Tripping Under Load

    Investigating pump impeller scale binding, phase loss on three-phase pumps, and low line voltage.
  • Pressure Transducer Signal Errors

    Calibrating 4–20mA pressure transmitters, cleaning scaled sensor diaphragms, and fixing unshielded wiring.
  • High-Pressure Safety Switch Drops

    Adjusting cut-out limits to prevent pipe over-pressurisation and eliminate destructive water hammer.
