Parallel Pumps
Parallel Pumps
(OP)
Just i quick question, i would like opinions.
I have 3 IDENTICAL centrifugal pumps running in parallel. The only difference is in the driver; 2 have 30HP electric motors, the other has a 40 HP electric motor.The rated(required) power is 25.3 HP each.
Does anyone see a problem in this configuration during normal flow/start-up/and low flow?

Do you have enough details for the pumps e.g. curves and driver detail?Is it a new installation?what is the arrangement for emergency shut-down?what is the service?Provide sufficient detail about your system.
I believe you may have VFD drivers for your pumps.
