Agricultural small water pumps are essential sources of water and life in rural areas during the summer, especially for irrigation. However, like any mechanical equipment, they are prone to failures and damage over time, which can hinder their normal operation. Therefore, it's crucial to promptly repair and adjust these pumps whenever issues arise to ensure efficient performance.
**Unable to Start**
First, check the power supply: make sure the wiring is secure, the switch is functioning properly, and the fuse hasn't blown. Also, verify that the three-phase power is balanced. If there’s an open circuit, poor contact, a blown fuse, or a missing phase, identify the issue and fix it as soon as possible. Next, inspect the pump itself for mechanical problems. Common causes include overly tight packing, debris between the impeller and pump casing, rusted shafts or bearings, or a bent shaft. To resolve this, loosen the packing, clear the impeller area, remove rust, and straighten or replace the shaft if necessary.
**Motor Overheating**
Overheating in the motor can occur due to several factors. First, electrical issues such as voltage fluctuations outside the acceptable range (+10% to -5%), unbalanced three-phase voltage (over 5% imbalance), or single-phase operation can cause overheating. Second, improper pump selection leading to motor overload, frequent starts, or incorrect thermal protection settings may also be to blame. Third, internal motor problems like incorrect winding connections, short circuits, damaged rotors, poor ventilation, or worn bearings can contribute. Lastly, environmental factors like high temperatures or dirty windings can reduce insulation and lead to overheating. To prevent this, ensure proper installation, regular maintenance, and a clean, cool working environment.
**Pump Heat**
If the pump becomes hot, it could be due to damaged bearings, excessive friction, misalignment, tight belts, lack of lubrication, or blocked impeller balance holes. Solutions include replacing bearings, adjusting clearance, aligning the shafts, tightening the belt appropriately, adding clean grease, and clearing the balance hole.
**Low Water Flow**
Low flow can result from slippage in the drive belt, improper blade angle, long or curved pipes, high suction lift, partial blockages, or leaks. To fix this, restore the correct speed, adjust the belt tension, modify the blade angle, lower the pump position, shorten the piping, clear blockages, and repair leaks.
**Inadequate Water Intake**
This often happens when air enters the pump, the check valve isn’t sealed properly, or there are leaks in the packing or valves. To address this, prime the pump, check for leaks in the system, and tighten or replace faulty parts. If necessary, apply sealant or reassemble the piping to ensure airtight connections.
**Severe Vibration**
Vibration can be caused by rotor imbalance, faulty couplings, worn bearings, loose components, or unstable pipe supports. Remedies include balancing the rotor, repairing or replacing damaged parts, reinforcing the structure, and ensuring all components are securely fastened.
Regular maintenance, timely repairs, and proper usage are key to keeping agricultural water pumps running smoothly and efficiently. Always consult a qualified electrician for electrical issues to avoid accidents.
