Dry Running Protection for Pumps

17.06.2002

The new Emotron EL-FI M10 Shaft Power Monitor protects by using the motor as a sensor. The Monitor measures the shaft power of the motor that drives a machine or a pump. Over or under load changes the shaft power and the EL-FI M10 is activated.

Dry Running Protection for Pumps

Avoid damages on centrifugal pumps caused by dry running. At dry running the shaft power decreases, which activates the EL-FI M10 that immediately stops the pump.

Electronic Shear-Pin

Over load and jamming can cause costly repairs and long production shortfalls. By measuring the shaft power can the M10 act immediately and stop the motor before serious damage is done.

Benefits

The need for mechanical load protection, external sensors and cabling is minimized (easier installation and lower maintenance costs!).

Increased equipment life.

Reduced production shortfall.
