About PMP-25 Pump Load Controls
Key Features & Benefits
Higher Sensitivity
Measuring true power (kW) detects load changes much more effectively than monitoring current (amps) alone.

How True Power is Used in PMP-25 Pump Load Controls
What is True Power in Pump Monitoring?
True power represents the actual electrical energy consumed by the motor to perform mechanical work. Unlike apparent or reactive power, true power directly correlates with the load on the pump.
How PMP-25 Uses True Power?
- The PMP-25 measures voltage and current across motor phases to calculate real-time true power consumption.
- Any deviation in power directly indicates a change in pump load or operating condition.
Why This Matters?
- Dry Running Detection: A sudden drop in power indicates loss of load due to lack of fluid.
- Clogs or Jams: Increased power consumption signals excessive resistance or blockage.
- Cavitation Identification: Fluctuating power patterns reveal unstable flow conditions.
- Broken Impellers: Reduced load leads to a measurable decrease in power usage.
