Manufactured by Load Controls Inc.

The new MLC motor load control (Model PMP1701) provides a simple solution to the prevention of motor damage caused by overload, jamming or pump dry running. The motor load control is surface mounted for ease of installation and displays true power on a large easy to read red digital LED display. High and low power trips with adjustable on delays and trip timers are standard. The sensitivity of the low power trip used to detect dry running is up to ten times that of conventional undercurrent relays. The 4/20mA analogue output and individual trip relays allow the flexibility of pump/motor control and performance monitoring.

The motor load control is presented in a rugged sealed polycarbonate enclosure with transparent door allowing visibility of motor power or % of full load. A high power trip is provided for the detection of jammed impellers or blocked outlets and a low power trip provides detection of no flow conditions such as cavitation or loss of prime. The motor load control provides motor protection and pump protection and is compatible with 3 phase motors ranging in size up to 240kW, operating on supplies between 230V and 460V.

A large digital display indicates the actual true power (Volts x Amps x Power Factor) drawn by the pump drive motor. The motor load control is suited to a wide range of applications where pump/motor failure or loss of flow must be detected. Although initially designed to protect seal-less or magnetic drive pumps, the product is suited to many applications in the water treatment, chemical, oil, gas and food industries protecting a wide range of pumps and electric motors of all types.
