How Can You Determine The Largest Impeller That A Pump Can Handle? |
|
Answer» The MOTOR AMPERAGE should be measured in the field with the pump discharge valve wide open. Subtract about 10% from the pumps maximum rated amperage. Than the maximum impeller size can be determined from A2 = A1 (d2/d1)3 A2 = Maximum amperage minus 10% A1 = Current operating amperage d2 = Maximum impeller diameter d1 = Current impeller diameter The motor amperage should be measured in the field with the pump discharge valve wide open. Subtract about 10% from the pumps maximum rated amperage. Than the maximum impeller size can be determined from A2 = A1 (d2/d1)3 A2 = Maximum amperage minus 10% A1 = Current operating amperage d2 = Maximum impeller diameter d1 = Current impeller diameter |
