Applying Motor Control in a Wastewater Application
Summary
Pump stations are used to move water through the different stages of water and
wastewater treatment. While the type of pump changes throughout the water
treatment, they all share the electric motor and a way to control that motor. Proper
pump, motor, and controls selection optimizes the efficiency of treatment and can save
up to 50% energy savings. Control components you want to make sure are included in
your pumping application are: contactors, overload relays, and motor protection circuit
breakers. These devices are designed in accordance with NEMA or IEC standards to
meet your application needs.
