Electrical Servicing & Maintenance of Pumps & Water Systems

Variable Speed Drives allow pump speed to automatically adjust in response to changing flow or pressure demand, rather than operating continuously at full speed.

In suitable pumping applications, this can significantly reduce energy consumption while providing more stable pressure and improved process control. Controlled acceleration and deceleration can also reduce hydraulic shock and mechanical stress on pumps, pipework, valves, and associated equipment, helping improve overall system reliability and service life.

Bore pumps should be protected against common electrical and operating faults such as overload, phase loss, voltage imbalance, dry running, and supply disturbances.

Depending on the installation, protection may include motor overloads, phase-monitoring relays, under- and over-voltage protection, dry-run detection using current, pressure, flow, or level sensing, and surge protection at the control panel.

For remote installations, correctly configured protection and automatic fault shutdown can help prevent motor damage, reduce unnecessary call-outs, and improve overall pump reliability.

Yes. We can configure automatic water transfer systems using level sensors, float switches, pressure devices, or suitable remote signalling between tanks and pump control panels.

When the receiving tank falls below a set level, the control system can automatically start the transfer pump and stop it once the required high-level point is reached. Additional protection such as dry-run shutdown, pump fault monitoring, and manual override controls can also be incorporated where required.

Contactor chatter or premature failure can be caused by unstable control voltage, rapid pressure switch cycling, loose control wiring, worn contactor coils, faulty control components, or frequent motor starts.

Repeated cycling causes excessive arcing and heat at the contactor contacts, which can shorten the life of both the contactor and associated motor control equipment.

We fault-find the control circuit, check supply and coil voltages, inspect switching devices and connections, and identify the cause of excessive cycling before replacing or upgrading the affected components.

Yes. We can source replacement pump control equipment including contactors, overloads, motor starters, Variable Speed Drives, float switches, pressure devices, and other common pump control components through our electrical and industrial suppliers.

For urgent pump failures, we can fault-find the existing system and, where practical, repair or replace failed components to restore operation. If the control panel is beyond economical repair, we can also provide an upgraded or replacement pump control panel to suit the existing system.
