Pre-Installation

  • Review borehole test pumping data
  • Calculate Total Dynamic Head (TDH)
  • Select pump capacity (80% of tested yield)
  • Size cable for <5% voltage drop
  • Verify borehole casing diameter

Physical Installation

  • Assemble pump, motor, and cable
  • Install safety rope (stainless steel)
  • Lower pump slowly (max 1m/s)
  • Position pump 2m above screen/bottom
  • Secure wellhead with seal plate

Electrical

  • Install control panel with overload
  • Connect VFD if specified
  • Install lightning arrester
  • Ground system properly
  • Install phase monitor (3-phase)

Commissioning

  • Measure insulation resistance (>2MΩ)
  • Start pump, verify rotation
  • Measure current vs nameplate
  • Check flow rate and pressure
  • Test protection trip settings
