Valvecrazy said: "You are right that the pump specific Drives have more features and are easier to set up than Drives of a year or so ago."
Kudos to Valvecrazy for showing he is keeping up with some of the latest progress in drive design. That is step in the right direction. Or perhaps...
Not to hijack this thread, but some VFDs offer more than the efficiency advantages they can bring to some systems. They offer the pump protection I already mentioned, and can also detect closed discharge valves or other system problems that can quickly burn up mechanical seals. They can also...
Another advantage of using a drive on this project is that there are special pump protection VFDs available that can shut down the pump or trigger an alarm if it detects a process upset. They can detect no-flow or dry run conditions that can damage the pump. These pump protection VFDs can save...
