A clamp-on ammeter allows you to measure current in your submersible installation system without breaking the circuit. Amperage, obtained from measuring current, can tell you whether or not a motor is overloaded or underloaded.
One of the basic concepts we have to understand while troubleshooting a submersible water system is voltage, measured with a Voltmeter. Key takeaway from this video: voltage is pressure.
Current is measured by an ammeter in amperage or “amps.” Why this is valuable? Amperage tells you how hard the pump and motor are working.
In a water system we have something called friction loss. In an electrical system, we have the same thing known as resistance. This video takes a look at ohmmeters and how they can help you determine the condition of your...
This video takes a look at megohmmeters, or meggers, and how you can measure insulation resistance in a submersible motor. Why is this important? So you can know the condition of your ENTIRE installation.
Capacitors, found in Franklin Electric single-phase control boxes, improve the performance of the motor. Rather than replacing the entire control box, consider checking the condition of the start and run capacitors with a capacitor tester.

This video takes a look at ohmmeters and how to measure winding resistance in a submersible motor. Why is this important? So you can know the condition of your motor.
It's important to distinguish and understand the difference between supply voltage and nameplate voltage when troubleshooting a submersible water system. This video will explain how.
When troubleshooting a submersible water system, a voltmeter is one of the key tools you will need. Here's a quick video guide to troubleshooting voltage with a voltmeter.
For larger, single-phase Franklin Electric control boxes, troubleshoot the start and run capacitors using a capacitor tester.
