Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 17 - Groundwater Pumping
Achieved badges:
Q: How does over- and under voltage, phase unbalance and phase loss impact the pump motor?
A: It increases speed and thereby the performance of the pump
Q: How does over- and under voltage, phase unbalance and phase loss impact the pump motor?
A: It raises the motor temperature, reducing the lifetime
Q: How does over- and under voltage, phase unbalance and phase loss impact the pump motor?
A: It reduces flow and pressure
Q: What kind of riser pipe is most likely to keep itself free from scaling?
A: Plastic hoses
Q: What kind of riser pipe is most likely to keep itself free from scaling?
A: Stainless steel pipes
Q: What kind of riser pipe is most likely to keep itself free from scaling?
A: Flex hoses
Q: What is the most effective way to stay updated on your pump’s condition?
A: Manual inspection
Q: What is the most effective way to stay updated on your pump’s condition?
A: Remote online monitoring
Q: What is the most effective way to stay updated on your pump’s condition?
A: Regular maintenance
Q: How is it possible to protect the motor against bad power supply?
A: By means of an electronic motor protection that senses all possible deviations
Q: How is it possible to protect the motor against bad power supply?
A: By means of a UC filter
Q: How is it possible to protect the motor against bad power supply?
A: By using a special water resistant cabling
Q: What could be the consequences of using an undersized pump in a well?
A: The pump will give too high pressure
Q: What could be the consequences of using an undersized pump in a well?
A: The risk of cavitation is very high
Q: What could be the consequences of using an undersized pump in a well?
A: The pump may not be able to deliver the required capacity
Q: What may cause friction loss in the pipes?
A: Scaling
Q: What may cause friction loss in the pipes?
A: Poor water quality
Q: What may cause friction loss in the pipes?
A: High water temperature
Q: Why is it important to know the water drawdown?
A: The more the drawdown increases during pump operation, the more pressure is required to lift the groundwater to the surface
Q: Why is it important to know the water drawdown?
A: Increased drawdown leads to poor water quality
Q: Why is it important to know the water drawdown?
A: Steel casings may not be used if the drawdown is too big
Q: What should the minimum flow past the motor be to ensure sufficient motor cooling?
A: 0,5 m/s
Q: What should the minimum flow past the motor be to ensure sufficient motor cooling?
A: 0,15 m/s
Q: What should the minimum flow past the motor be to ensure sufficient motor cooling?
A: There are no specific requirements
