Gain tremendous insight into a water system by using meters. During this video series, we'll cover the core tools you can use to quickly troubleshoot Franklin Electric products.
One concept to understand while troubleshooting a water system is voltage, measured with a voltmeter. This video covers the definition of voltage, measuring voltage, and supply voltage vs. nameplate voltage.
Current, measured in amperage or "amps" by an ammeter, tells you how hard the pump and motor are working. Learn more about current, measuring amperage, and full load amperage vs. service factor amperage during this videos.
In a water system, there is friction loss. In an electrical system, there is resistance. Using this comparison, these videos cover ohmmeters and how the tools can help you determine the condition of your installation.
Learn how you can measure installation resistance in a motor using a megohmmeter, or megger.
Capacitors, found in Franklin Electric single-phase control boxes, improve the performance of the motor. Learn how to troubleshoot start and run capacitors using a capacitor tester.
