Test results
Q: Is the SQE pump able to provide constant pressure?
A: No.
Q: Is the SQE pump able to provide constant pressure?
A: Yes.
Q: What is the benefit of a slow increase in speed?
A: It keeps the motor current low
Q: What is the benefit of a slow increase in speed?
A: It keeps pump movements at a minimum
Q: What is the benefit of a slow increase in speed?
A: It removes the need for motor contactors
Q: What is the most commonly used starting method for motors in 4” conventional pumps?
A: Direct on line
Q: What is the most commonly used starting method for motors in 4” conventional pumps?
A: Star delta starters
Q: What is the most commonly used starting method for motors in 4” conventional pumps?
A: Auto transformer
Q: Which protection features does the SQE have?
A: Voltage handling, soft start, dry-running protection and overload protection.
Q: Which protection features does the SQE have?
A: Protection against the well running dry.
Q: Which protection features does the SQE have?
A: The SQE does not have any protection features.
Q: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
A: Because large variations in power supply will damage the motor over time.
Q: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
A: To avoid burning the house fuses.
Q: Why is it important to protect the pump from over- and under voltage?
A: To minimise the power consumption.
Q: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
A: Soft start reduces over-pressure in your piping.
Q: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
A: It reduces the occurrence of water hammer in the pipes and minimises wear during start-up.
Q: In addition to limiting the current draw from the mains during start-up of the pump, how does the soft-start functionality benefit operation?
A: Soft start prevents the motor from getting warm.
Q: Where is domestic groundwater extraction typically relevant?
A: In big cities.
Q: Where is domestic groundwater extraction typically relevant?
A: In remote areas where it is too costly to extend the municipal water supply to just a few houses.
Q: Where is domestic groundwater extraction typically relevant?
A: In smaller and medium sized towns.
Q: How many times higher than nominal speed does the motor current reach during the first milliseconds?
A: Four times higher
Q: How many times higher than nominal speed does the motor current reach during the first milliseconds?
A: Six times higher
Q: How many times higher than nominal speed does the motor current reach during the first milliseconds?
A: Seven times higher
Q: What is a key installer benefit of the voltage protection in SQ/SQE?
A: Steady water supply
Q: What is a key installer benefit of the voltage protection in SQ/SQE?
A: Faster installation
Q: What is a key installer benefit of the voltage protection in SQ/SQE?
A: Fewer service visits
Q: Why is correct sizing of the submersible pump important?
A: Because an undersized pump will not be able to deliver the required flow and pressure and an oversized pump reduces energy efficiency, which increases operational costs.
Q: Why is correct sizing of the submersible pump important?
A: Because too small a pump will pump the well dry.
Q: Why is correct sizing of the submersible pump important?
A: Because too big a pump will ruin the taps due to too high pressure.
