Higher amperage in magnetically coupled motor pump
Higher amperage in magnetically coupled motor pump
(OP)
Replaced a flex coupling on a 150 hp, 440V, 3 ph pump with a magnetic coupling. Motor controller now trips on 115% overload during startups. Magnetic coupling manufactured by Rexnord. how is the slip contributing to a higher and/or longer period of startup current?
