Deep Well Vertical Pump Analysis using Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA)
There are many advantages that vertical pumps provide over horizontally mounted pumps and when they operate properly they generally provide many years of reliable, maintenance free operation. However, in almost any plant with a large inventory of vertical pumps they will have one or more of these pumps that are considered “bad actors”...
