How should we control the centrifugal pumps? TRIAC/thyristor etc? Need help from controls/electrical people -
How should we control the centrifugal pumps? TRIAC/thyristor etc? Need help from controls/electrical people@kirk they look like induction motor pumps, similar to those in aquarium filters. Phase control will probably not work, they follow the mains cycle (you can see this in the rotational speed value which matches the mains input frequency with a small offset.)
Does the flow need to be constant? If not perhaps you can cycle them on and off instead of 'dimming' them?
