Pump tripping out board after 10 mins

[Simon Hall]

I have a pump running for a swimming pool but after about 10 mins it trips out does any one know why this is happening it's run off a non rcd board thanks

Any test results
spec on pump
Mcb size and type

From the detailed and comprehensive information you have provide I would guess it is tripping because there is a fault!

However ten minutes sounds like an overload situation i.e. the circuit is pulling more current than the circuit breaker can handle.

pump could be clogged, bearing failure, could be lot's of things, does it run for another 10 mins when you reset trip, or do you wait for pump to cool down

exactly what is tripping

Hi sorry the pump has just had bearings changed, it trips out the whole board then won't switch back on again after tripping out, I thought it was the rating on the breaker but it's ran off the same breaker for 8 years without a problem. Also the cable is ok

So it's tripping every MCB/blowing every fuse?
That certainly is an odd problem.

it trips out the whole board

What is tripping exactly mate? Tripping everything on the board??

Edit- beat me to it-

Simon, a little advice if I may. If you want meaningful advice and not just a bunch of bored blokes taking the mick then post up some detailed info about your problem.

No information as per usual.

Simon, if you want help you need to give details. Test results and details of what’s tripping would help.

I’m out of here, I’m not the type to make wild guesses as to what it could be. Plus the pubs open.

Did it trip before the bearings were changed???

If not try looking at the bearings.

Maybe they haven't been fitted correctly and are warming up after ten minutes and starting to seize??

take it out, smack it's arse, put it back in. well, it works with women!

How is it tripping out the whole board? non RCD?

 

[snowhead]

What's it's running current, for the time it is running?

Was it test run before refitting?

Has the person who fitted the bearings ever successfully fitted bearings before?

What was the fault that caused it to have new bearings fitted?

Did it leak when the old bearing were failing and has the I.R of the motor been checked?

Careful there Tel ...... divven't ye let Tidyboiler hear ye saying them things - unless you can run fast and have a ten yard start.

She's got a hell of a right hook that can knock a horse out cold with just one punch and she's a crack shot with a rifle and shotgun.

(the bit about the horse may not be strictly true, but the rest of it certainly is!!)

 

[telectrix]

first bit censored. women all the same. all gob till you get them over the knee.

You've got your women well trained!

Have you ever read the last two words in his sig line??
