Achieved badges:
How would you rate this course?
1: How does over- and under voltage, phase unbalance and phase loss impact the pump motor?
It increases speed and thereby the performance of the pump
You can find the answer here >
1: How does over- and under voltage, phase unbalance and phase loss impact the pump motor?
It raises the motor temperature, reducing the lifetime
1: How does over- and under voltage, phase unbalance and phase loss impact the pump motor?
It reduces flow and pressure

4: Why is it important to know the water drawdown?
The more the drawdown increases during pump operation, the more pressure is required to lift the groundwater to the surface
4: Why is it important to know the water drawdown?
Increased drawdown leads to poor water quality
You can find the answer here >
4: Why is it important to know the water drawdown?
Steel casings may not be used if the drawdown is too big
You can find the answer here >
5: By-pass control is an efficient way of performance regulating a pump but what is the downside of the process?
The by-passed water is wasted and cannot be used again
You can find the answer here >
5: By-pass control is an efficient way of performance regulating a pump but what is the downside of the process?
The motor temperature rises and increases the risk of motor burn-out
You can find the answer here >
5: By-pass control is an efficient way of performance regulating a pump but what is the downside of the process?
Energy is wasted as the pump continues to run at full speed
6: Why is it a good idea to make a well where the groundwater level is as high as possible?
The shorter the distance is to the water the less expensive it is to make the borehole and subsequently to pump the water to the surface
6: Why is it a good idea to make a well where the groundwater level is as high as possible?
The shorter the distance is from the surface to the ground water, the better the water quality is
You can find the answer here >
6: Why is it a good idea to make a well where the groundwater level is as high as possible?
A higher level means lower water temperatures and better motor cooling
You can find the answer here >
7: What could be the consequences of using an undersized pump in a well?
The pump will give too high pressure
You can find the answer here >
7: What could be the consequences of using an undersized pump in a well?
The risk of cavitation is very high
You can find the answer here >
7: What could be the consequences of using an undersized pump in a well?
The pump may not be able to deliver the required capacity
