3 Things to know when using motor with a piston pump

Have you ever used a piston pump and the motor had a problem? What happened? What was the cause and how can we prevent damage ?

First check to see if the outlet pipe is clogged (in the case of a hose, it may be bent). If this happens, the motor will rotate slowly until it stops, the electric current in the motor will be high, and the temperature of the coil will rise until it burns. Therefore, before starting the motor or while the pump is running, make sure that the outlet pipe is not pinched or blocked.

Before starting the machine, check if there is any water remaining in the pipe. In the case of delivering water vertically or on an inclined slope, the amount of water in the delivery pipe will be heavy, especially if it is high or far away. Therefore, before starting the motor, release the water from the delivery pipe first to reduce the load on the motor when starting. Otherwise, the motor may not start, causing the coil to burn out.

If the water pump has not been used for a long time, the internal piston may become stuck, which will prevent the motor from starting, causing the coil to burn. Therefore, before use, check by turning the pump pulley by hand to check for stuck pistons and other rotation points, including checking the crankshaft lubricating oil level. When you are sure that there is no stuck symptom, start the motor.

The above causes are common causes, so always check the readiness before use to prevent damage.
