What is the Delivery Failure issue for centrifugal pumps?
This is the commonly seen issue in pumps. When the pump is not able to deliver the required pressure it is considered to be a delivery failure problem. Steps to…
What is friction losses in the pumping system and how to minimize it?
Friction loss essentially refers to resistance caused by fluid flowing through pumps, pipes, and fitting. That resistance results in decreased pumping pressure and decreased fluid velocity. Friction between the adjacent…
What is a solar simulator and also specify the use of a solar simulator for Pump testing?
A solar simulator is also known as a Solar array simulator (SAS) is simply a programmable DC power supply that provides illumination approximating natural sunlight. The purpose of the solar…
Importance of Blocked Rotor Test on Motors
What Is Blocked Rotor Test? A blocked rotor test is conducted on an induction motor. It is also known as short circuit test, locked rotor test or stalled torque test.…
Why Single phase induction motor is not self starting?
According to the double field revolving theory, we can resolve any alternating quantity into two components. Each component has a magnitude equal to half of the maximum magnitude of the…
