Three Phase Lift Station Pump
A three phase lift station pump
is used in lifting wastewater or raising wastewater from low elevations
to higher elevations. Wastewater can also be discharged from the
property a go directly into the force main when using a three phase
lift station pump. The force main can then take the wastewater to
other larger pump stations or can go directly into a treatment plant.
Sewage or wastewater is fed into a
pit that is usually underground. When the sewage level rises to a
certain point, the
three phase lift station pump
starts to lift the sewage upward through a pipe system which is called
the force main and then is usually discharged to a manhole. After this
happens, the the three phase lift station pump starts the cycle
all over again until the wastewater or sewage reaches the final
destination which is usually the treatment plant.
The three phase lift station pump
is usually designed to have back up pumps just in case one pump is out
of service, the remaining pumps on the three phase lift station pump
can handle the flow. The wet well should be properly designed so that
the three phase lift station pump can operate trouble free and
efficiently. The whole purpose of the wet well is to provide automatic
operation of the three phase lift station pump with a simple control. It
should be as small as possible so that the detention time of the raw
sewage is minimized and so that septic action does not occur. It should
be large enough though, so that excessive stopping and starting of the
three phase lift station pump does not take place.
A three phase lift station pump
should be operated with three phase power. A true three phase converter
can be used to obtain this three phase power. Since single phase power
is all that is usually supplied to you, a phase converter can convert
that single phase power into true three phase power. A three phase
converter has three circuits that are used to carry three alternating
currents of the same frequency. They will reach instantaneous peak
values at three different times. Since the three phase converter carries
electrical current that operates in three different phases, a constant
flow of electricity is provided that is uninterrupted. The three
phase lift station pump will now operate with a smoother form of
power which will eliminate overheating and breakdown.
A good true three phase converter
that can be purchased is a phase converter from a company called
ACE
Phase Converter. They have been
given a 5-star rating and are the experts of true three phase power.
They have been designing and manufacturing phase converters for many
different applications for more than 25 years. Contact their specialists
and they will help you determine the size and load that you will need to
get that true three phase power to your three phase lift station pump.
They will stand behind all their phase converters by offering the
consumer a 10 year warranty.
