Frequently asked questions
Why does the PMP-25 measure power instead of current?
At light load a motor’s current barely changes, so a current relay struggles to see dry running or loss of prime. Power rises and falls with the work the pump is doing, so these faults show up clearly.
Which pumps can it protect?
Centrifugal, positive displacement, magnetic-drive and sealed pumps, among others. It mounts in the motor control cabinet and never touches the pumped fluid.
What motor sizes does it cover?
Up to about 37 kW (50 HP) directly through the supplied Range Finder Toroid, and larger motors with an optional current transformer. Tell us the motor power and we confirm the set-up.
Can it protect a pump on a variable frequency drive?
For VFD-driven pumps, Load Controls pairs the PMP-25V with a Universal Power Cell on the drive output. Ask us and we will specify the right combination.
